Why is sexual education so important?

-

 Many people, especially in Poland, take sexual education as a taboo subject. The sexual education knowledge is on a really low and concerning level but no wonder, if young people’s parents do not often want to have a serious talk about it. But why is sexual education so important? 

Many young people receive confusing information about relationships and sex while making a transition from a child to an adult. The lack of knowledge about age- and developmentally-appropriate sexual and relationship education may lead to dangerous sexual behaviours.

There are evidence on how sexual education has many advantages in lives of young adults. The first and most important one is that it increases young people's knowledge and improves their real attitude to sexual and reproductive health behaviours. The next one (which about many parents are concerned) says that sexual education (in or out of schools) does not increase sexual activity and the rate of risky behaviours causing STDs. Quite the contrary. It increases young people's knowledge about STDs, how they should always have protected sex and how easy it is to be infected or to infect someone. There also are programmes that help to reduce the frequency of number of sexual partners.

Having shown all the positives that sexual education brings and the cons that the lack of it causes, I want to make realise that sexual education is really important. It is most effective when young people have support from both the parents and the school. Not talking about it will not make young people not sexual but will just simply cause harm (by the lack of knowledge they need).

    Remember the term is SEX EDUCATION.
    Sex education looks different in different countries so maybe it would be good to define and describe the term a bit more precisely, comparing the syllabuses in various countries.
    This reads like a manifesto promoting sex ed. It would be interesting to see where kids get their knowledge if they have little or no sex ed, what they learn and what consequences there are.

The worst things about living in Iceland

The worst things about living in Iceland  We all know that Iceland is a country of beautiful nature and breathtaking views but we may find some flaws. Iceland is an island so the transport is limited either with the food or with basic use products. You can have huge problems with ordering and buying stuff on the internet. The delivery takes a really long time and it is also really expensive! And to top it all, when picking up the package from the post, you have to pay half the price of the package, so for example when you buy some clothes for 150$ so you will have to pay 75$ to the post. Everything in Iceland is really expensive. All of your money can go just for the gaz to your car! You can realize that for example when a good pair of leggings costs 50$ in the USA (which is still expensive), in Iceland it may cost at least 100$. But the country is so expensive because the minimal pay in Iceland is much higher than in Europe or in the States. The weather in Iceland may be really extrem

 5 most interesting volcanoes in Iceland We all know that Iceland is mostly popular because of many dormant and active volcanoes. Today I would like to present couple of the most interesting in my opinion. The first one is Krafla . It lays in the north Iceland and it is surrounded by steaming vents boiling mud pools and bubbling hot springs which create unique views. Although the volcano is frequently active, it is a home to a coldwater lake that has a beautiful emerald color. The next volcano I find really interesting is the Oarefajokull volcano. Its is located on the southeastern coast of Iceland. What makes it so unique and beautiful, you may ask. Well, the volcano is covered in a blindingly bright white glacier. From the top of the volcano you are able to see the coastal cliffs and the famous Black Sand Beach! The next really beautiful volcano is the Askja volcano. You can reach it only by traversing Odadahraun-the largest lava field and volcanic desert in Iceland! Not only the jo

It was discovered accidentally by the Vikings about 1,100 years ago. Another interesting and unknown thing about Iceland is that many of its citizens believe in trolls and elves!
