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..)

[Kontroll]

Sex ed should not be allowed in schools. Yeah, it gives kids an idea about sex, but trust me... I never had sex ed and I know what sex is. You don't need a school to tell you about things. It's really your parents responsibilities to tell you these types of things.

Morals tend to drop when people are taught that certain things are less than they actually are. Sex, I'm sure is fun. I can't say. I feel that it's a maturity issue. I really don't feel like people, especially teens, know the consequences of sex. Sex outside of marriage is something that shouldn't be taken lightly because it really can ruin people's relationships with others.

Everybody I know that has had sex before marriage has either regretted it or has had messed up situations because of it.

According to that person that said that they had to make models of a penis and vagina, it sounded like the teachers were making a mockery of sex. It's ridiculous. People, in my opinion, just aren't mature enough to have sex before marriage and I think sex ed ruins it.

Yeah, but not all parents are like that. My parents never talked to me about it & I know parents that purposely shun their kids from sex education. This one parent wanted her kid out of sex ed, thinking it was a way to protect her child by not exposing her to "sex". What are you really doing by shielding kids from sex? They need to know what it is and the consequences behind their actions. STDs, like HIV, that leads to AIDS are the causes of thousands of deaths each year. Not to mention, there are certain types of cancer linked to STDs. These STDs can be prevented. But do all teenagers know that? Do all teenagers know the signs of STDs and the consequences they have to live with by acquiring STDs? No, they don't. If there is a way to prevent life-threatening diseases, personally, I would like to know.

You said that you feel teens don't really know the consequences of sex, and I totally agree with you. So shouldn't they be educated in school? Parents are not always willing to have "the talk" with kids. Should the kids pay for the parent's mistake in not telling him/her about the consequences of sex? No.

It seems like a solution for schools to offer sex ed. There are some schools that just teach abstinence. I think that is wrong. The more teens are told "not to do something", the more curious they are. I think that we should be educated from a non-bias viewpoint so we are allowed to make a decision independently, but know the consequences of our actions.
