In planning sex education classes for the 12- to 15-year-old age group, more emphasis should be placed on which?
a. How to set limits for sexual behavior
b. The inaccuracy of information from peers
c. The use of oral contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancy
d. The use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases as well as pregnancy
ANS: A
Setting limits for sexual behavior is particularly important for younger teenagers who may be pressured to become sexually active before they are physically and emotionally ready. Oral contraceptives are not the preferred method of birth control for teenagers because they forget to take them, and they do not protect against STIs. The use of condoms is appropriate and an important concept to discuss but should not be the emphasis.
