Sex Education in secondary schools

             Education has always been a significant part of Greek humanity. It is consist of many different courses, among them sex education as apart of biology. Sex education is divided into two completely different programs, Comprehensive sex education and Abstinence-only education. The advantages of a comprehensive sex education over the second one vary, from the way they approach sex to the different things they teach.
             Comprehensive sex education is a sex education program that teaches a combination of two things abstinence and contraception. This program is composed of human anatomy, reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases (comprehensive sex ed). Teachers try to pass to their students the message of contraception, even and outside of a marriage, as the best solution for avoiding transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies. They provide them with all the needed information and they explain in detail all the things they need to know about contraception (Coeyman 1). The aim of comprehensive sex education is not to persuade teens to abstain from sex until they get married, but to succeed in reducing the chances of pregnancy on a very young age and the likelihood of diseases being transmitted (Zenit News Agency).
             On the other hand, the abstinence-only program teaches non participation from sexual activities until marriage (abstinence-only ed). In other words, suggest to the teen not to become sexually active before they get
             married and not to have sexual relationships outside the marriage. However, if they are to have pre-marital sex, something that is not at all encouraged, they should be aware that there are some risks. These risks are not being explained by the teachers or the books. Contraception is a matter that is not being included in their teaching.
             Comprehensive sex education is the most safe and effective way for the kids to be taught about sex. Is the only way for teens to learn how to take mature and sensible choices...
