It is also a fact that more than a million young teen aged girls become pregnant every year in America. Obviously, the percentage of teenage pregnancies in America is many times more than any other westernized country. Therefore, sex education seems to be very important. No doubt, girls and boys will be given them tips on how to engage in safe sex and be aware of the various birth control methods.
