Sex Education Gets Directly to Youths, via Text


 

Sex education can be a thorny topic for most school systems. It can be an embarrassing and uncomfortable topic for kids to discuss with there teachers and parents. Some kids avoid asking questions to spare that awkward feeling that they may have during the conversation. This causes them to have a lack of understanding on the possible effects and consequences that sex can formulate. In Chicago, teenagers can subscribe to Sex-Ed Loop, a program endorsed by the district that includes weekly automated texts about contraception, relationships and disease prevention. Through Hookup, California teenagers can text their ZIP codes to a number and receive locations for health clinics. Many services, like Sexetc.org, a national site run by and for teenagers, offer both privacy and communities where adolescents can learn about sexuality and relationships, particularly on mobile devices, eluding parental scrutiny. Services offer links to blogs,interactive games, moderated forums, and Facebook and Twitter pages. These resources are very beneficial to the children of our generation. It’s a fast and easy way for them to get access on knowledge about safe sex. Without the worry of being judged based off of their youthful curiosity. Sex education is very important and should be delivered to our children in an accurate and safe manner.
