Sex Education and Teenage Pregnancy

Santrock (2016) mentions in his text that the United States has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates of industrialized nations, despite the fact that adolescent sexual activity is no higher in the United States. Why is that? For starters, sex during adolescence is considered a "taboo" subject in our culture. Abstinence is also promoted and touted as the most safest, surefire way to avoid the consequences of early sexual activity. Additionally, we teach teens that sexual activity is an "adult activity" and do not acknowledge that during the adolescent period, when there is an upsurge of hormones and changes in the physiological landscape, teens grow curious about their bodies and that of the opposite sex. Teens are also at a stage in their life where experimentation and identify formation are at its "peak", and questioning, expressing, and exploring their sexual identity is part of that process.

How many people did you know in high school knew what sex was and even had sex? Probably the majority. That is because sexual curiosity during adolescence is part of healthy, typical human development.

What is sex education?

Briefly, sex education is about instilling accurate, scientific-based information and spreading awareness about the following:

1. The physiological changes that occur in the body due to pubertal/hormonal changes.

2. The risks and consequences involved in sexual activity such as contracting sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy.

3. It involves teaching youngsters how to set boundaries with others when it comes to their own body and other people's bodies (i.e."No means NO!").

4. Contraception options-how to be "sex smart" such as the benefits of using protection.

5. A discussion about knowing when they are "ready" to have sex.

6. Define rape and sexual assault and how to know if you are about to be a victim.

Discussion: Realistic versus Unrealistic Optimism

Purpose: To think about the limits of optimism and the need for an optimistic attitude to be grounded in reality.

*MINIMUM 250 WORDS*

Research shows that an optimistic attitude toward life, whether defined as a disposition or explanatory style, has a variety of benefits compared to pessimism. Optimists enjoy higher overall well-being and use more effective coping skills in dealing with life’s many challenges. Whether recovering from bypass heart surgery, coping with breast cancer, or adjusting to college, optimists generally do better than pessimists. However, many researchers have suggested that optimism needs to be realistic to be effective. John Henryism, compulsive gamblers, and smokers are a few examples of people who may suffer the ill-effects of unrealistic optimism.  

- What are examples of unrealistic optimism that you have seen in other people or yourself? What makes them unrealistic? What were the effects? What needs or motivations seemed to lie behind wishful/unrealistic thinking? What things need to be considered in judging whether optimism is realistic or unrealistic?
