[Essay] Should there be sex education in schools ?

Sexuality is a very sensitive and subject and every government treads cautiously in talking about it or including it in the curriculum of school books. Children are however, exposed to a lot of sex and violence on television and in movies.

Some of them are brought up with misconceptions and they cultivate unhealthy attitude towards the subject.

There is an alarming spread of sex-related diseases like AIDS and many young men and women are becoming victims.

Most youngsters consider it as taboo to talk about sex with their peers or parents and prefer to get information from friends.

Parents also avoid discussing the topic but they would never stop from scolding their children unnecessarily if something went wrong.

Indecent literature and curiosity pave the way for wrong ideas and experiments with sex among youngsters.

Answer to children's curiosity about sex should be objectively given instead of ignoring the facts and bypassing the subject.

Children are becoming the victims of rape and indecent sexual overtures from people.

If a scientific and objective manner is employed to impart sex education it will make the youth more alert, aware and less vulnerable.

Sex Education imparted in a callous and wrong manner may have disastrous results and may lead to more amorous behaviour. Proper qualified teachers are required to treat this delicate subject with care.

India has given to the world a great many scientists like Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose , Sir Vishweshwaraiya , SrinivasRamanujan , Sir C. V.

[essay] Role of teacher in moulding a student's life

Teachers takes the place of parents in a school, they guide and mould the character and personality of the student. They influence the formative years of the students. A good teacher coaxes and helps a student to understand his abilities and become a better human being. The children look up to their teachers so it is very easy to mould them to divert their attention to things which are constructive. Students are going to be the future citizen of the country- so it is the duty of the teacher to harness their capabilities in making the future of country bright.

[Essay] The pleasures and pains of youth

The period of teenage is a short but a beautiful one. We begin our teens when we are “thirteen” and we end it with “nineteen”. It is also called a period of adolescence – when you are neither a child nor an adult. It is a time for privacy but on the other hand there is a lot of peer pressure. You start growing up and understanding your physical qualities and understanding the importance of looking good. You look out for a role model – a wrong model can put your life in jeopardy. The right role model can uplift your life. You want to act grown up but you lack the confidence, so many times you act in an immature manner creating problems for our own selves.

Actually parents should be made friends and role model as they always wish the best for their children. Lack of reading and too much dependency on TV, computers , internet and films, can lead to
