Abstract
The topic of sexuality education for youth or what society teaches our youth about their sexuality, is a subject of paramount importance. Most states have some form of comprehensive sexuality education managed at the state level. Most American adolescents, adults, educators, and parents support sexuality education in the public schools. This paper reviews the literature on sexuality education for youth and concludes that carefully structured sexuality education programs can modify adolescents' sexual behavior and increase adolescents' understanding of moral behavior.
