Teen Sex: Opposing Viewpoints

By Tamara L. Roleff

Book Overview

Teenagers are tempted by peer pressure, the media, and their own hormones to have sex even as parents and religious groups admonish them to wait until marriage or at least adulthood. Now schools are entering the debate, as designers of sex education curricula decide between teaching students about contraception or promoting only abstinence in the classroom. Authors debate the controversies surrounding teen sex. Chapters include: What Should Teens Be Taught About Sex? What Factors Influence Teen Attitudes Toward Sex? Should Society Be Concerned About Teen Sex? How Should Society Respond to Teen Sex?
