I think that as a sexually active teenager, parents of course should be supportive. Nothing is worse than a teenager having sex but not being able to get protected and going off false information because they know that if their parents found out they would never be able to see their boyfriend/girlfriend again and they would be punished. I think a parent should be calm, and collected, understanding, and relatable when their teenager comes to them for advice. When my Dad found out he told me to be sure of what I was doing and who I was with and then called my Mom and she took it well and booked appointments for me to get on the pill and have check ups to make sure I was healthy down there.
I think school should also be more informative because no parent really wants their kid to grow up and well a teachers job is to TEACH students life skills like math, science and SEX ED. I learned nothing from school because my school didn't think of it as that important. I learned most of what I know from the internet, but I was careful and made sure I double, and tripled checked my sources and only used websites that were credited by health/school boards. Teachers should also be open, relaxed, they should teach students that sex isn't a bad thing, but is something one needs to be careful about. Just like anything in life. Teachers should cover everything from STIs, relationships, pregnancy, how to prevent it, the side effects, the most useful methods and where to go and what your options are if you do get pregnant.

This is an interesting question because I don't feel we are properly educated about sex in schools. I was briefly introduced to the "sex education" in grade 7, and then in grade 8 we got into more of it. But we never talked about it last year (grade 9) or this year (grade 10). I think that schools need to better notify their students on sex education.
At home, parents can encourage their kids to not have sex, and if they do to use proper and full protection. Each parent needs to make sure that at some point during their child's life they need to sit them down and have the sex talk with them. Children aren't properly educated on this subject as they should be.

i did not have intercourse until i became very almost 20, yet i think of me being a bigger woman that frolicked with a collection of gay adult men had greater to do with my prolonged virginity than my abstinence based preparation. yet, i think of telling young people factually each little thing that would go incorrect with intercourse (from STDs, to being pregnant, to heartbreak, etc.) is truthful. i'm agnostic and does not help the ethical discouragement, extraordinarily in a public college, yet staying abstinent until you may shoulder those familiar jobs is sensible. Abstience would desire to be greater effective than a a million sentence option without delay glossed over until now somebody exhibits you the thank you to place a condom on a banana.
