Hi!!
This is my first blog ever so here goes! My research is how men and women can keep themselves healthy emotionally and physically in sexual relationships. I feel like this is a controversial topic because some people feel abstinence is all that should be taught until marriage, but what about those who wish to engage relationships? They still need to know the facts about staying healthy and preventing STD's and "surprise" pregnancies. This topic relates to everyone at some point in their life. Even we wait until we are in a committed relationship or even married to have an intimate relationship, who says your partner has waited or taken precautions as well? Everyone should know how to protect themselves both physically and mentally. I feel like most high schools would focus on teaching mainly abstinence, but should explore further into contraceptives and well being practices because quite a few teenagers are having sex. I am basing this on experience from school and articles. I will probably recieve various opinions about this topic and it definitley needs to be addressed. Organizations such as churches would be on the abstinent side (mostly). Abstinence is great and I fully support it if thats what someone chooses. However, it should be a choice and with that choice comes the responsability of taking care of yourself.

Great topic, Taryn. I wonder if it will get too broad for you? But you'll definitely have enough to work with, and you'll navigate the challenges as they present themselves!
ReplyDeleteI plan on keeping in narrowed to high school and college students. Ways to stay healthy, statistics, and maybe how it is culturally viewed, etc. The resources are endless and I feel very strongly about this :)
