Although, this article talks about trying to help all teens in general there are only focusing on the female’s perspective of things. It ties back to the topic of double standard that we discussed in class and how what may be pass for one gender and be acceptable, will be the other gender’s downfall. Even though, I do like this article because of what they are trying to implement in the high schools now, I have to say I still don’t agree on the outlook on females. Teen pregnancy is seen as a female problem instead of a teenage problem. I know that it’s called teenage pregnancy, but there are no statistics on males, and most often males lives continue as normal.

When teenage girls don’t feel comfortable talking with their parents about sex, they turn amongst their peers and friends for advice. For example parents who work on a daily basis may not have enough time to take interest in their teenage daughter’s sexual health or even ask what she is feeling as a person. Secondly, teenage girls between the ages of 12 and 18 should be able to receive birth control without the consent of their parents because some teenage girls who are sexually active tend to know more about sex than their parents and keep it a secret. With this being said, the teenage girl may be putting herself at risk of getting pregnant or contracting HIV or STDs.

There are many other, more beneficial, methods of sex education, with the most popular one being comprehensive sex education. Many pro-abstinence supporters believe that comprehensive sex education encourages young teenagers to go out and have sex. However, “[r]esearch clearly shows that comprehensive sex education programs do not encourage teens to start having sexual intercourse; do not increase the frequency with which teens have intercourse; and do not increase the number of a teen 's sexual partners” (Frohnapfel-Krueger). Despite most pro-abstinence people’s beliefs, there is significant proof to support that talking about the consequences of sex does not encourage teens to have sex. As well, it is safer for the teens that do have sex to know how to do so safely than to just assume that no teen will have premarital sex.
