Teenage pregnancy during the late 90Õs has risen tremendously throughout the years. Many studies have found that the number one age group of teenagers that become pregnant are between the ages of 15 and 16. This age group is just entering a world of itÕs own called High School filled with homework, parties, drugs, and last but not least sex. Although most would disagree with me, I believe that high schools should not provide information about birth control and should especially not provide condoms. Instead high schools should inform the students about the responsibility that is taken when having sex, and how in these days it may be better to practice abstinance.

A way a High School could approach an issue like teen pregnancy is by simply stating the responsibility that is put on both partners when they make a choice to be sexually active. The female having the responsibility of raising a child on a day to day basis if she becomes pregnant. And the male having the responsibility of providing for him or her and also raising the child. Either way a male or a female who decides to have sex at an early age in life with or without a condom is taking a big ri

In all, sex among teenagers in High School is very popular in todayÕs society. But so is teen pregnancy. The only way a High School could give a helping hand in this matter is not by providing condoms to students to fight a problem, but rather provide information to these students about the drawbacks of sex and not encouraging them to be sexually active at such a young age and instead providing a solution.

There are several different reasons why I believe that a person (especially a High School student) should hold out on having sex until they are married. The number one reason is my moral standard, which is that it is best to save myself until marriage due to my belief in God. I was raised with this moral standard and I believe it with all my heart and soul, sometimes I even think that if every teenager had that mind set in there lives, teenage pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies, and sexually transmitted diseases would and could be at a stop today. The second reason that I believe teens should hold out until marriage is because they live in a time and society today in which sex is glorified in many different ways whether it be from movies, television, teen `magazines, or even by friend
