Teenagers should get proper sex education

Thanks for sharing the information Dr. Sachin. I feel that the parents and the children should discuss this topic without any hesitation and sex education should be made compulsory in all schools.

A Very good article by Dr. Sachin. What Rajeev said is correct. The parents should freely discuss with their children about the topic and should clear their doubts. Otherwise it will be very dangerous.

Dr.Sachin has clearly mentioned about the how the characteristics of male and female change when they attain teenage. Also he has given a good precaution about HIV AIDS. Most of the HIV AIDS patients are below the age of 35 years. So all the teenagers should be very careful about HIV as Dr. Sachin told.

Sex education should and must given to all ages of the society. Even adults. It is always best to remind ourselves of the dangers of unsafe sex. Even to Adults, because its not uncommon for one to falter and travel into practicing unsafe sex. Use condoms. Be safe. As a teenager of 18, I began practicing sex since two years back. And i regret the times i did not practice safe sex. Due to various Sex Education Camps and Seminars, i have been educated of the dangers, which is why, i now always practice safe sex.
