"Sex Education Is Pointless. Most Youths Are Still Engaging In Risky Sexual Behaviour Anyway." Discuss Your View.

Sex, a word that constantly brought up youth curiousty. In everyday life, we can often hear the word sex among the youths. To them, it seems to be so fascinating that it has urged many youths to explore sex through the internet search engine. Among all, its always the guys who are the ones that urged to be involve in sexual activities. However, they never know the importance and the consequences of having sex. Besides, youths get influences easily by the media and very often, they will kept imagining the same scenario that was seen on the television. Under these circumstances, the guys tend to be unable to control their action and as a result, they will perform the movements on their girlfriends.

Back in schools, students nowadays are open-minded in the sense that they are not as timid as a fawn when discussing about sex as compared to the previous generation ahead of us. One reason for this cause was simply because of the changes and influences that came from the foreign cultures. Since the influences of foreign cultures, we, as an Asian started to became more open-minded. As time passed down, things started getting more "ridiculous" in the sense that now, even the youths had also been influences. Scrolling back on old newspapers,  there were news that unearthed children at the age of ten had already been engaged in sexual activities. It may seem to be unbelievable but sadly speaking, it's the fact! Primary school students had already known about sex, can you imagine what they might possibly do when they grown up? It is really sad that Singaporeans at such a young age had already been influence with such improper behaviour. 

Besides, thinking backwards. If the child was able to control itself from its curiosity, would he have done it? Frankly speaking, I do not know the answer. However, we definitely know that the child knew about sex but the question is where?  It could be the case that he accidentally overheard the conversation of an adult. Or it may be the case where he learned it through visual, meaning, the media. Therefore, we can see that the adult generation influences on the youths could result in massive negative impact on them. 

On the other hand, youths who were undergoing the puberty stage are at risk. The reason why I phrase this out was because during the puberty stages, youths tend to be more aware of their surrounding; more sensitive to things that is occurring around them. Similarly, their curiosity will also rise as well, which shows the reason why youths tend to be the major victims for being involve in sexual activities. In other words, having sexual education is important for all youths, especially for those who are undergoing puberty stages. The reason is simple, the sexual education at one point serves as a guideline to guide the youths to the righteous path of their future. At another point, it teaches the youths on the importances and consequences they might have to endure if they choose to have pre-marital sex. 

On the whole, I strongly agree that sexual education is important and a must to be taught. Conversely, should the Ministry Of Education (MOE) emphases too much on sexual education as it might led to negative responses instead of producing positive results. Nonetheless, school's teachers and councilors should communicate and care more for their respective students. Thereafter, the students will be more comfortable to seek help from the school. At the very end, if we are not influences by foreign cultures, would there still be a need for sexual education to be conducted?
