A lot of research had to be conducted while writing this paper. Sex Education as we know is a controversial topic that's overlooked sometimes within our country. I found that there are two main ways to teach Sex Education, and that's through Abstinence and Contraception. Ironically and interestingly, the country is almost divided up evenly between the states in which what each state teaches. States however are starting to transition more into contraception education, or giving the parents/guardians the option for what topic they want their student to learn. North Carolina is the most recent state to offer both contraception and abstinence education. They are only the 7th state to offer both. They were predominately Abstinence education before lawmakers decided the transition about a year ago.
Lastly what I found while researching this topic was how different organizations express their feelings. Especially the Advert Organization, who only promotes Abstinence lifestyle of living. I found that they make their presence strongly within third world countries, yet continue to express their message through their website, Advert.org.
