The need for sexuality education.

Adolescence is a time when young people are learning a great deal about themselves and adjusting to a rapid change in the body. During early adolescence, many experience a new uncertainty happening to them. As they mature, some feel confused about what they are supposed to do in a variety of situations; including making sense of evolving relationships with family and peers, coping with new sexual feelings, trying to assess conflicting messages about who they are and what is expected of them. Young people need sexual education that model and teach positive self-worth, responsibility, understanding and acceptance of diversity and sexual health. They need to be assured to develop a positive sense of their own sexuality by creating opportunities for them to consider all aspects of sexualities ; to ask questions and to understand that there are adults, who support them and they learn about this themselves. Understanding the elements of one's sexuality is a life along process. It involves acquiring information and information activities and values about identity, relationships and intimacy. Adequate attention has not been given to the adolescent reproductive health, despite the fact that recent data has shown that age menarche (onset menstruation) is dropping, there is early initiation of sexual activities; there is high incidence of teenage pregnancy, and teenager's account for 80% of unsafe abortion treated in hospitals however documented evidence shows that there has been a breakdowns for other social-cultural norms, values, and practice that serve as heck to premarital sexuality activity.
Although we see sexuality around us everyday, sex education for adolescence remain a controversial issue. Surveys conducted nationally shows that parents, who ought to be primary sexuality educators of their children and communicate to them specific values about sexuality, play the least role in this area.
Parents always teach your children what they ought to know about sexuality before it is too late.

Arguments.

Most people say they don't like arguing but the fact remains that in order to properly buttress your point , sometimes you need to stress on what your view is, But this becomes difficult when there is an opposition or a third party that wants you to listen to their own point of view contrary to yours. Everybody argues for a particular reason, and everybody have their reasons based on their thinking and conclusion. Voices are raised up when people find it difficult to conclude on an issue after some moments of argument. As voices are raised up, feelings and emotions begins to set in, anger begins to sprau up gradually. In no short time insults begins to be amidst the arguments and of course it is always a reciprocal scenario. As the pressure increases, if self control is lacking, everyone goes home with a squeezed face and sometimes a hurt body or with animosity.
