学校应该开展性教育吗？Should Sex Education Be Taught At School?

Most peoplein China think it’s an embarrassing to talk about sex, they think it asensitive topic. That’s the reason why schools don’t impart this king ofknowledge to students. However, in my humble opinion, the sex education can notbe waited.

大多数中国人提到“性”这个话题时很尴尬，人们认为“性”很敏感。这就是学校不愿意给学生教授性知识的原因。然而，在我看来，性教育不能再等待。

Why doyouth need sex education? Most teenagers get the HIV virus or sexuallytransmitted diseases because of having sex with an infected person. They canavoid any risk of HIV or STD if they have learned how to protect themselves. Onthe other hands, teenagers’pregnancy rate in China is astonishingly high. According to thesurvey, more than a million teenagers become accidentally pregnant each ，this situation becomes serious.

为什么年轻人需要性教育呢？大多数青少年感染艾滋病或性病是因为与携带者发生关系。如果他们知道该如何保护自己，就能够完全避免这些情况。另一方面，在中国，青少年的怀孕率高得惊人。通过调查显示，每年有超过100万名青少女意外怀孕。现如今，这种情况更加严重。

In myopinion, sex education is absolutely essential. The schools have theresponsibility to teach students to have the right attitude towards the genderissue. Taking about sex is not a shame. It is not embarrassment. The questionis no longer whether sex education should be taught, but rather how it shouldbe taught.

在我看来，性教育非常有必要。学校有责任教授学生对性问题的正确的态度。谈论“性”并不可耻，也不尴尬。但现问题已不是该不该教授性知识，而是该如何教。
