What Do you Think About Sex - Ed? Options

[CHiiCKENBUTT]

Should schools have sex-ed? Yes or No ? Give me your opinions :] (BTW this should probably be in Debate but yea..)

First time I had sex ed was in 5th grade, but the separated girls and guys. Girls talked about periods and tampons/pads, guys talked about erections? I don't know. I guess that was semi-helpful so girls don't think we're bleeding to death? Haha!

Second time was in 7th grade, which was co-ed & we cover the general aspects of sex like the consequences and stuff like that, but it was superficial. We mostly just watched videos. I remember this one video of two, neon colored stick figures that danced around the screen and got into suggestive positions. LOL! And we watched the sperm traveling up the vaginal passage (wonder how they got that shot?), and at the end, we watched this birth video. This birth video was very graphic, mind you. You see the women all grunting and panting and in pain, then all of a sudden, it just suddenly zooms down into her va-jay-jay and we're like, "omfg! this is porn at its worse!" i am so scarred for life.

Third time was in 10th grade, obviously co-ed. It's part of the health unit at my school, which is a required class to graduate. There's only one unit on sex/stds/pregnancy and it's obviously more in depth. Plus, the health teachers at my school are really cool. They're fine with immaturity sometimes & they teach in a way that is informative, not bias. I think that's really important in sex ed. Kids should be taught about sex, not taught to be against it. The more you tell a teenager, "don't do this", the more they'll want to try it. You know what I mean? And plus, I just absolutely hate it when people shove their opinions in my face. Thanks, but I have a brain of my own & I'll decide my stance.
