PERSUASIVE ESSAY - FORMAL OUTLINE

Title: SEX EDUCATION IN PERUVIAN SCHOOLS

[Introduction]

A. Hook: In recent decades, it has been possible to study that between 12% and 13% of pregnancies in our
country are from adolescents who are still attending to school and did not receive any type of sex education.

B. Background/General information: In schools, the implementation of sex education does not seek to encourage
children to perform these practices or increase the risk of contracting sexual diseases. In 2015, a P eruvian
school located in Lima achieved to reduce the number of pregnancies received per year from 15% to 0%
thanks to the implementation of sexual education for students in general.

C. Thesis statement: Being aware and knowledgeable about sex education in schools is of utmost importance for
a developing adolescent.

[Body Paragraph 01]

A. Topic sentence: One important fact to have in mind is that ending up the chain of early pregnancies is
challenging but is completely possible.

B. Supporting sentence 01: Despite the fact that many parents believe that the use of contraception makes their
children have a desire to try it, knowing about contraceptive methods prevents early pregnancy in adolescents.

Detail / Example: Conceptual methods prevent pregnancies and sexual diseases, and in schools they should
give talks about how many types there are and how they work in addition to the effects they could have. Once
they know and if they put their use into practice, the number of abortions that puts girls at risk will also be
reduced. Adolescents will have a healthier life because they will be clean of diseases and out of the risk of
having an abortion that could cause death.

Supporting sentence 02: Even though conservative families blindly trust their children and say that knowing
how to prevent pregnancy is not necessary for their little sons, knowing about prevention has supported many
girls to continue studying without interruption.

C. Detail / Example: The chances for a girl to continue with her student life are higher when they know that they
are already fit to have babies because they will know how to avoid it. A pregnancy in a girl will affect her
development, so sex education in schools strives for them to have a better life by making them aware of how
to take care of themselves. The safety of themselves increases since they avoid having sexual contact without
taking care of themselves so as not to get pregnant.

D. Supporting sentence 03: Though it may be impertinent to teach about how a pregnancy happens and how to
create a family for children, family planning is helpful for the rest of their adult life.

Detail / Example: The future of a child is built from the time they are small, so family planning is important to
touch. Having a child must be agreed upon by both the woman and the man. Both genders need to know that
starting a family is not easy and depends on several factors that at an early age are not easy to fulfill.

E. Concluding sentence: Girls' pregnancies are not good in any way and should not be normalized, for that
reason we need to teach the children how to protect their selves.

[Body Paragraph 02]

A. Topic sentence: On the other hand, teaching students about sexually transmitted diseases reduces the
number of infected by them.

B. Supporting sentence 01: Even though it might be disgusting to children, knowing how to avoid them stops their
transmission among minors.
C. Detail / Example: Receiving enough information about these illnesses we can prevent them to happen. The
only way to stop the transmissions is informing the students about all the damage that can happen to their
bodies. Medical centers also give information and the students are able to come there with their teachers
and parents if something bad happened or if they feel that they got one of these ills.

D. Supporting sentence 02: Though parents beliefs are that teaching the students about sexual diseases is not
correctly for their age. Teaching about sexual illnesses save a lot from having the consequences of them.

Detail / Example: You could see a significant drop in children with std and sti in hospitals. Many times,
adolescents when noticing that things are happening out of the ordinary with their body do not turn to anyone
due to shame or fear of being scolded. By receiving the proper education, they will know that they can trust
and go to a specialist doctor, thus reducing child depression and stress.

E. Supporting sentence 03: Although it can cause trauma on kids and is indignant to adults. Adequate
information that children receive is beneficial.

F. Concluding sentence: ______________________________________________________________________

[Body Paragraph 03]

A. Topic sentence: Finally, sexual abuse in minors also stops by learning to take care of themselves.

B. Supporting sentence 01: Despite the fact that it is rumored among conservatives that it encourages rape,
prevention of abuse towards and among children is included in sex education.

Detail / Example: Thanks to knowing it, no more children will accept "strange" treatment from their parents or
partners. It is important for both girls and boys to know that there are wrongdoings that they should not do. In
all ages it is essential to know that sexual abuse is something that should not be ignored under any
circumstances.

C. Supporting sentence 02: Even though it is possible that it gives a bad image about adults or relationships
between couples, parental sexual abuse also exists and children have to know how to recognize it.

Detail / Example: When a kid learns to recognize dangerous situations, they also learn to report the abuse that
may have happened to them. As happened in a school where a girl, after receiving a sexual education class,
denounced her parents for sexual abuse. It has been shown to be a viable way to stop parental rape of their
children. Making families have healthier relationships and promoting real respect between them.

D. Supporting sentence 03: Although one of the family traditions is that the daughter has to be obedient to her
partner, couple abuse is something that cannot be permitted in any way.

Detail / Example: Learning to be independent is necessary for teenagers. It is okay to have relationships with
your partners but it must always be prior coordination and permission of both. Without consent it should not be
accepted. Adolescents must have the confidence to recognize their body and respect it, only they have the
ability to take care of their bodies as the treasures they should be.

Concluding sentence: Sexual abuse of minors by their partners, parents and strangers is a reality that they
must be aware of in order to protect their bodies.
 [Conclusion]

A. Restate thesis: Sex education in school adolescents from Peru stop early pregnancies, abuse and prevent the
spread of diseases through sexual transmission.
