Abstract
The topic of sexuality education for youth or what society reaches our youth about their sexuality, is a subject of paramount importance. Mo st states have some form of comprehensive sexuality education managed at the stare 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 adol escents' sexual behavior and increase adolescents' understanding of mo ral behavior.
