Where and how, if at all, should sex education be conducted?

Sex education should be conducted primarily in schools. This orientation such be conducted to children as soon as they commence middle school. Children that are in middle school are promiscuous.  They most certainly have an idea about what sex is and how it is conducted, but unfortunately they do not know the consequences of this action. What turns out for them to be fun and exciting, could change their lives forever. Our children need the proper guidance instead of lying to them and making up stories that don’t exist.
Unfortunately, we see a very large percentage of teenage moms. Most of the cases they are teenagers trying to complete high school and end up dropping out because they need to care for themselves during pregnancy. It gets very difficult. Some end up being single parents. Others end up giving up their children to adoption or to their parents to raise because they are not ready to be parents. These are the things that can be prevented if they are impacted at a young age.
If children are sexually educated at home first instead of keeping it as a TABU and reinforced in school with the proper information, there might be a chance that our children will have a better and brighter future instead of an obligation.
