Do You Agree That Sex Education in School Encourage Teens to Have Sex?

I hope my children don’t plan on having sex until after they are married. I already have two children that took sex-ed in school. I just hope they remember that it could be a good and bad thing. I just don’t want to ever see them get hurt in the long run.
Perfectly penned article. *S* Cynthia

I believe that not teaching children about sex is dangerous. They need to be knowledgeable on this topic.

I like the idea of including this topic in the schools, although I think ultimately our children learn what they live. From an early age our kids watch what goes on in their own homes, we have the responsibility to model well.
Good article!

Well, I don’t think it really has anything to do with any of that to be truthful. It’s human nature to be curious, and also human biology to want to have sex from the point one reaches adolesence onward, it’s how are bodies are programed. Not to say that one has to follow this, but if it is in a safe way, and one takes precautions I don’t see what the difference is between a couple of 16 year-olds having sex compared to a couple of 26 year-olds having sex.
Although I do realise that a lot of people who read this are American and have a higher chance of being in an area of tension when it comes to talking about sex, seeing as the US spends a lot of money on pushing abstinence, to make americans uncomfortable with pre-marital sex. I don’t really see this as an answer at all, seeing as 25% of all girls in america between the ages of 14-18 have already been in contact with or contracted some sort of sexually transmitted bug, and somthing like 70% of men between those ages say they don’t use condoms during intercourse, you can see that the government pushing abstinence isn’t helping at all, so perhaps a different point of view would be beneficial.

great article buddy,however i admit that i am undecided about if its a good or bad thing.

this is a good thing to have a sex education class in school because kids could learn not to have sex at in a early ages

sex school

As a teen myself, I don’t think that sex at a young age is as bad as adults try to make it out. I DO believe in using condoms when having sex, and I believe that while sex-ed may have peeked my curiosity, it has also taught me how to protect myself and the negative affects of having kids at a young age. While I believe that I could take care of a child, as it would be extremely inconvenient I do not wish to have one. I plan on waiting until I am married, but waiting for sex seems silly as long as you take the appropriate precautions.

-for me, sexual education doesn’t contribute for the teenagers to be early engaged with sex, in fact, it adds up to the prevention of this case. it just depend upon the person on how he or she will be able to apply the knowledge acquired. engagement on this activity comes through the level of self-discipline a person have. if he or she has the control in a situation, whatever means, he is not at the risk of engaging into it.

-tirsa-

i left school at 16, went on to have my baby age 18 and i have no regrets. see at school we were told to have safe sex. but it was from the age of 12 which i thought was too young. we shoulda all been told not to have sex til we were 16 coz there were so many having babies before gcses. i think it’s stupid to give sex education if you’re saying it’s OK to do it that young!!

I think that it is very important for sex ed to be taught. Either way kids can get themselves into trouble but I think it’s better for them to know how to protect themselves so that if trouble does happen it cannot be blamed on ignorance.

oh i forgot to say that i agree in teaching sex Ed but as a mother id like to be free to teach my child in the right time,gently ,slowly at home and not at school in front of everybody.

Hospital have a lot of 11-12-13 years old girls pregnant! thats because some people think they should know about it so early,how sinfull,does anyone fear God?

Good info !

As a young person who came from a ridiculously strict family, sex ed is not the way to go. For me, sex was first discussed in class in front of everybody and I had no clue. Being the curious kid that I was, I raised my hand politely asked, “What is sex?” A good question for the topic at hand i suppose, but then a school mate turned and proceeded to answer the question in the most disgusting manner possible–all the gritty details (which looking back wasn’t all that inaccurate) but very much out of context. I must admit, that anything I learned about sex was from friends or my own personal (and tentative) discovery through books in the public library. I had to straighten things out in my own mind. However, it was not until I was “old enough” to already have known this was it ever uttered from my parents with me in earshot. Then, and only then, was it stressed that sex could not be had outside marriage. My point is that school should not be the first way kids get introduced to sex. There is not the family value there to temper the information entering their young minds. Had I been any other child, I might have gone out and tried it right that day as there was no disclaimer telling me it’s a perk only gotten rightfully through marriage. I was lucky that my parents, while not explicitly teaching about sex, acted in the way they wanted me to. The only reason why sex ed is in place is because the family has forgotten its job, so now a public institution has control over your child’s ideas about sexuality. Please note, I am only 20 writing this. One last thought, if sex ed was working, then why are we seeing so many girls pregnant in high school? You’d think they’d know the result of their choice from all the classes they take from 4th grade on.
