Sex and family education
The document discusses the breakdown of the family in Western societies since the 18th century. It analyzes factors such as romanticism, secularization, the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and the rise of sex education programs. While early sex education aimed to reduce teen pregnancies and STDs, studies show it increased promiscuity and failed to change behavior. The document advocates for abstinence-based education as an alternative approach with proven effectiveness in helping teenagers delay sexual activity. It provides resources for abstinence education programs.
