We formed this group based on a common interest in adolescents and sex. After discussing the route we wanted to take, we came up with some great ideas.
What can Utah school currently teach in sex education? What grades is the curriculum taught?
What type of sex education has worked outside of Utah (based on teen pregnancy rates and STI/STD rates)?
How much are adolescents being taught about their own anatomy? How much do the parents know about their own anatomy?
What is positive touch?
Using condoms is not just to prevent pregnancy
Focusing on educating parents
Setting limits with your partner
Rape within the heterosexual and LGBTQ populations
We have so many routes we can take with this topic that we are undecided on how to narrow it down and where to start. We plan on working together next class to see if we need to split into two separate groups if the interests differ, but we also think we will have more influence and power with more numbers.
