Unprotected sex is a rampant behavior among US teens and teens throughout the world. The rate of teen pregnancies has increased. More young girls are becoming mothers, and boys are becoming young fathers. The question here is these young boys and girls aware of the consequences of engaging in sexual intercourse before engaging in it? Being sexually activity demands a high level of responsibility because the aftermath of the act. The society lays the blame on parents and guardians. What the society does not understand is that many of these teens defy the advice from parents and follow their adolescent opinions. This is where the education sector should come in. Teachers are known to be the best advisors since they can discuss the topic on sex without shame or fear. To reduce the rate of teenage pregnancies, sex education should be accommodated in primary, middle and high school curriculum (David, 2002). Teens will receive information on sexual intercourse and its consequences. Therefore, they will shun from it or be prepared the consequences.

Every public department, health authorities, and other societies have the office of the ombudsman where people can file their complaints (Lee, & Jeff, 2007). Most importantly, since many people fear to disclose their gender and hence fail to report, I would organize campaigns from one place to another and through the media. I would educate people that we are all equal despite our genders and that the gay, lesbians and transgender have equal rights with the others.
The formation of anti-female discrimination was seen as the start of male discrimination. The society focused more on the well-being of the woman and forgot about the man as well as the boy child (Benatar, 2012). However, anti-male discrimination movement continues to grow and progress each day to fight for their natural rights as men. Men have now come out to fight against the women. However, the claim is refuted because society still thinks that there is no discrimination against men and that women are more vulnerable them. Anti-m...
