Condoms In Private Schools

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to educate young Americans on the risks and effects of teenage pregnancy. It will focus on ways to prevent teen pregnancy such as: abstinence, contraception, safer sex. This paper will also include ways to deal with pregnancy at a very young age such as: planning to raise the child, adoption, and even abortion.

Importance
468,988 babies are born to teenage mothers each year. This being all the reason to focus on teenage pregnancy. Many children are being born into this world without the necessities they need to develop into stable and productive citizens. In writing about teen pregnancy and the problems it produces, I hope to inspire the general public to help America in its efforts to reduce this problem.

Scope
A growing dilemma on high school and college campuses and one of the main concerns of parents, school officials, and the government is teenage and premarital sex. It is on the rise, and they are concerned that it may get out of control. Teenage and premarital sex can be a problem because of the many diseases and pregnancies they can cause. One resolution that has been proposed is to distribute condoms in high school and college institutions. This is a topic that is controversial and has been fiercely disputed for years. There are people who think it would be a good idea and those who think it may worsen the problem rather than solve it. The argument for why condoms should be readily available is simple: unsafe sex leads to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
Key Terms
Contraception- the prevention of pregnancy using artificial methods such as condoms and birth-control pills or natural methods such as avoiding sex during the woman's known fertile periods

Abstinence- restraint from indulging a desire for something, e.g. alcohol or sexual relations
