Sex Education in High Schools decrease - Teen Pregnancies Increase

Location

Sex education in High Schools decrease,

Teen pregnancies increase.

Sounds right to me,

Are you in disbelief?

What do we expect to happen,

When we hold back the knowledge?

Give teens a full life education,

And more will go off to college.

Today's statistics are astounding,

Of high school pregnancies.

But what shocks me even more,

Are the lack of high school amenities.

If school would provide the entire package,

of life lessons and rules.

Then more young people can progress in life without baby baggage,

and teen pregnancies will decrease in schools.

My favorite part of this poem was elaborating on the fact that there is a simple solution to decreasing teen pregnancies. Instead of teachers giving young, pregmant girls mean looks and judging them. How about we teach them to fully understand the consequences of their actions. When we know better, we do better. Everyone knows where babies come and how they are made, so that isn't what needs to be elaborated on, but explain to teenagers how expensive it is to properly take care of a child and they will understand. So to really choose my "favorite part" of the poem is quite difficult. But I feel like if I had to choose a stanza, it would be " What do we expect to happen,/When we hold back the knowledge?/Give teens a full life education,/And more will go off to college." This is explaining that teenagers will be able to prosper in their lives if they were taught to make better choices.
