why type of sex ed did you get?, just an informal poll Options

wanted to get a general overview of what children are learning in school as far as sex ed is concerned. check what you learned in school against the following facts to kind of see how accurate your teaching was.

1- HPV can cause cervical cancer and can be prevented by a vaccine
2- condoms will reduce the rate to transmission of most STDs.
3- birth control pills and pills such as the morning after pill do not protect any against STDs, but will help protect against pregnancy.
4- the first time a female has sex/ uses a large tampon, her hymen will break which will cause bleeding.

. . . . Stupid, stupid multiple health classes.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed in 5th grade.
More accurate: They taught us what condoms and contraceptives were, but neglected to tell us what we were protecting ourselves from.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed in 7th grade.
More accurate: We learned all sorts of neat things (and ways) about how to produce a baby, but not what you actually had to do.

Somewhat accurate: I had sex ed twice in ninth grade.
More accurate: A teacher finally had the guts to tell us exactly what you do to produce a baby. And it was finally the whole package. As if that weren't enough, they had a lady come in and give a talk to every girl taking P.E., which I kinda though was overkill. Hey, we got free tampons.

All of this was lost on me, though, because I've been reading slash for about as long as they've been trying to teach me what sex was. Oops?
