Abstract

This paper investigates the present state of sexuality education in the American school system. Within this examination, the paper looks to clarify several aspects of sexuality education in the United States. More specifically, the investigation seeks to identify current practices concerning the teaching of human sexuality, relationships, gender roles, and interpersonal communication. Further effort is given to understanding the roles played by the media, the community, the peer group, and the family within the intrapersonal, cognitive, and social-sexual development of the individual.
