**Outline ** Sex Education in Schools The general goal of this project is to inform students in middle and high school about sex education. These programs should teach abstinence along with preventive methods so that students have the knowledge to make responsible choices, know how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and avoid sexually transmitted diseases. After watching my Public Service Announcement, students will be aware of abstinence education as well as the means to protect themselves against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Students, teachers, and parents could use this project when educating children with the facts about abstinence and preventive methods (sex education programs).
