My persuasive essay
Today, the population is getting larger and larger, elder people
living longer and longer, people give birth to more and more
children, and that’s the cause of overpopulation. Overpopulation is
one of the world’s biggest problems; it causes the poor getting
more and more poor. The resources remain less due to so many
people using them. Additionally, because of so many people in the
world, the environment is getting wasted. We should find some
ways like family planning or give people more education to solve
this problem.
One of the reasons that cause overpopulation might be the
lack of education. There might be more human resources for
having so many children, and having so many people in a family
might be helpful for doing works. But the more people we have, that
means the more we have to pay for their living.
Family planning is one of the solutions to overpopulation.
Many governments now sponsor family planning. If
governments make laws or rules implement, In my opinion, the
government should make a law to control each family to have under

a maximum of kids. If the law truly exists, I think the overpopulation
problem will be well-controlled.
Another solution to overpopulation might be to give people sex
education. People now think it’s not necessary to have education
about sex. But the truth is it’s extremely serious! There are some
courses about this now, but it isn’t professional and it’s always
secondary! I think that “sex education” shall be a mandatory subject
in school because we undoubtedly have to be aware of how serious
it is.
Although family planning can control birth, it may not help to
solve the problem from the roots, although sex education helps
people to understand what sex is about, there are still a lot of
people who dislike school and don’t listen to class. So, to improve
the economy might be the better way. Overpopulation can’t be
easily controlled. Mainland China used to implement family
planning, one family can only raise one child. It didn’t work, the
family planning failed.
Overpopulation is a monumental problem now, people shall
be aware of this big problem. The society should take effective

steps to solve this problem, to control birth or other ways to make
this problem under control.
