This article debates the tyoe of sex education that should be taught in schools. Should kids only recieve the message of abstinance only? Also taking into consideration of how realistic that is...Or should we be teaching a comprehensive sex education class that covers sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, and Abstinence? Young people are exposed more and more and are confronted with the idea and practice of sex. I think its more realistic to teach more than just abstinence.

Based off of statistics the issue is not whether or not sex education is appropriate in schools, but what kind of sex education should be taught. A portion of parents prefer that schools only teach their children strictly about abstinence. Other parents prefer that the school teach a program referred to as "abstinence-plus", which educates students on birth control and abstinence.

The long constant debate about sex education in schools has come to a halt. For the most part students, parents, and principals are satisfied with the topics being taught, however a low percent think only certain topics should be discussed.

Looks like a popular article.

ORIGINAL "What the community are concerned about is anti-social behaviour that arises from binge drinking and the abuse of alcohol, and you can't put that down just to people within the ages of 18 and 21. "The responsible use of alcohol is a problem for the whole community, not just one particular age group." Ms Keneally also said a higher drinking age would not necessarily stop 18- to 21-year-olds drinking. "My experience in my university days would suggest that a higher drinking age doesn't necessarily lead to abstinence among 18- and 19-year-olds," she said. PARAPHRASE Ms. Keneally knows from her college experiences that a higher drinking age would not stop younger individuals from drinking.The abuse of alcohol and binge drinking is not just from people in the 18 to 21 year age group, but is a world wide issue ranging through all the age groups. This article is about the premier Kristina Keneally and why she does not mind if the drinking age stays at 18 in Australia.
