Sex ed in schools is not a new thing, it was around in the 1970s and probably even earlier. Actually the teenage pregnancy rate has decreased in recent years. The reason that it seems worse now is that they girls are able to stay in school and finish their education. In the old days, the girl would be forced to drop out of high school.

In the 1960’s governments all over the world made it the responsibility of schools to teach sex education in stages in secondary classes.

Teen pregnancies are a cultural problem for some but generally this is the best age to bear children.

The main problem is dealing with the occurrence of pregnancy.
Most children have had some form of sex before they leave school.

Unfortunately most societies still blame the female.
We are lucky that we no longer banish girls because of pregnancy.
