Should there be an age restriction to talk to children about sex, or should young people be educated from an early age about this topic? Many parents avoid mentioning the term "sex" to their children, because they think they will influence their kids to have sexual intercourse at an early age. What parents fail to realize is that their children can learn about sex somewhere else. At times, children are given the wrong information about sex from their peers, thus they are more likely to make bad mistakes. Children who are educated about sexual intercourse from their parents are more likely to be cautious about having sex.
There is a high percentage of teenagers that are becoming parents at an early age. Many people believe that this is due to unprotected sex. This idea is perhaps true, but of those teens who had unprotected sex, how many had a 101 conversation with their parents about this topic. The answer, very few. So, I strongly believe that this subject should be mentioned from young to children.

Are Children Neglected by Their Parents?
The young people in modern day society is very different from what it used to be several years ago. Peer pressure is a main reason why many young individuals make mistakes. It is very dominant in our society. Peer pressure cannot be stopped but can be avoided. The question is, how can children avoid falling into peer pressure? The answer is, by talking to someone they trust before taking any decision. Who is the best person to consult too when you have a problem? The answer is your parents. But, how can most children go to their parents if they rarely talk too their parents. A good relationship between child and parent is very important during the earliest years of a child’s life. Children who feel comfortable talking to their parents tend to go to them for any problems they may have; thus, they are likely to make less mistakes in their lives.
In most cases, children who rarely talks or spend time with their children tend to use drugs, steal, or do other illegal things. Children in these situations often tend to think that their parents rarely spend time with them because they have other important things to do. As a result, they keep their problems to themselves. In other circumstances, children fear talking to their parents because they argue to much, or because they abuse them. Children who encounter this crisis in their homes tend to do things that according to them make them feel happy, such as using drugs. Parent must try to talk to their children in a passive way rather than an aggressive manner. Children always want to feel like they are welcome and that no time is inconvenient to talk to their parents. It is often seen that most African American children tend to do more wrongful things than Caucasian children. Why? The answer is because Caucasian family tends to sit and talk with their children, whereas, African American family rarely talks to their children.
