After some research, I finally found evidence to support one of the biggest claims I hope to emphasis through my genius project. Which is that teen pregnancies, and comprehensive early childhood sexual education correlate (almost) linearly. Below is a graph that has created a visual representation for teen pregnancies internationally: As evident in the graph, some of the countries with the lowest teen pregnancy rates are also those where their teachers put less emphasis on the dangers of sex. Instead, they gear the curriculum to teach sex, as a normal, healthy, and positive act.
Another one of the biggest pros for introducing sex, and sexual education at such a young age is that it will help encourage our youth to be much more open minded, and help with the decline of "slut-shaming"
