I’m no longer in school; however, I went through *** education during my 6th grade year. I think it’s much more comfortable having a teacher explain those things to you considering it’s sometimes awkward when parents do so. I remember I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about and they helped clear up myths about sex, pregnancy, and what not. Also, in my 8th grade year they had a *** education teacher come give a speech at our school as like a follow-up lesson.

My experience with *** education in school was that it was always waaayy behind what everyone already knew. There were people in the classes having *** on a regular occasion, and the class was still trying to teach people that boys and girls had different ‘funny bits’.

It was always a complete waste of time, and will continue to be so until people can stop burying their heads in the sand and actually realise that kids these days do know about *** earlier than their parents would desire.

In 5th Grade we had the period talk, but that was it. In the USA they have taken all forms of *** ed. out of schools. IDK if that’s good or bad, i’ll decide if that’s good or bad when I’m old and married.

I had it in 6th grade.it was so bad. They did explain ANYTHING at all. Plus i went to a Prep school, so they might have thought it was improper. But all it said was “girls grow *****..and guys are immature” It was really bad.

dealing with teenager

i think a little bit of both. I think students should get both views so we can get the view from a parent and teacher.. Getting taught from a teacher can avoid an uncomfortable conversation with your parents a student might not want to have. Plus they will be getting told the right things.

being teenager

Sex-Education to me all depends on the person talking to you about it..

in about 5th grade my mother gave me the “Sex” Talk, At the time I thought ‘Okay..Am I every really going to need to know anyof this ?’ Then later on that year we did a health Unit which I thought was dredfull because my teacher at the time made us feel horribly uncomfortable about all of it, She never truely explained anything to us..

However as I went through the rest of public school and Grade 9/10 I realized that every teacher taught it a little differently and some seemed completley uncorfortable with the idea on Teaching Sex-Education. I found it easyiest to comprehend what we were learning when the teachers, took our points of veiw on the subject and Disscused it like they were a friend rather than a teacher.

But I did prefere talking about it we my mother.. because She knows me better than any teacher would.

i had to do a resolution on *** ed in schools for student congress
FOR *** ED
-Helps lower teen pregnancies
-Teaches students on passing of STD’s
-Students learn in a comfortable enviornment, not awkward(as it is with parents)
AGAINST *** ED
-Parents should have choice of when to teach child
-May go against childs religious beliefes; ie abstinence
-Sometimes very unproductive (because of immature students
-when is right age to teach

Just google *** ed in schools, its a very hotly debated topic with lots of information. Hope i helped
Good luck!

Our *** education *****! All freshman in PE have to take it and all students must take PE but a lot of them take it during summer and other years so most of my class (and me) have never been taught *** ed in high school. What I have heard about it is that its just abstinance only wich is stupid. I would rather learn it from my parents

For *** ed at my school they had a slide show of different STD’s you could get. It disturbed me so bad I passed out. It was so nasty. I really don’t believe it was a good approach. Yeah it scared the hell out of me, but still….

lol in 5th grade they didnt teach us anything, they just gave us tiny booklets the size of a wallet with like 20 pages in it.

The boys got a book for boys and some deoderant (LMAO) and the girls gotta book for girls and a pad!

The *** ed teaching started for me in 7th grade, when i moved to a new school, we got to use any kind of language we wanted! Instead of saying ‘They had sex’ we could say ‘They f|u|c|k|e|d each other’. The teachers said we could use whatever language we were confortable using. (pretty weird huh? I bet the parents wouldnt approve!)

I learned a lot, especially the different methods of contraception (pill, diaphragm, cervical caps, spermicides, IUDs, good ol’ condoms, etc.) including their percentages.

We learned about the reproductive system (not just penis/vagina, but stuff like prostates, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, sperm, eggs, etc.)

We learned the different *** positions like doggie style, missionary, 69 etc.

We learned many of the STDs (AIDS, gonorhea, ******* herpes, stuff like that)

Our *** ed class was actually meaningful, our school taught it very well !! You should give them props! btw this was in like 5 classes an hour each!

I would rather learn it from a teacher, in a group setting, i feel very uncomfortable talking about *** with my parents, they always misunderstand everything I say…

how teenager

I am 16 years old and a Junior.I think *** education is important. I learned in fifth and sixth grade. And throughout middle school and high school during health. You getfacts and not just opinions. Learning about all the risks you take when being sexual active has kept me from having ***. Since I am so close to my parents it is nice to hear from both them and my teachers.

parenting tips

Unfortunately most of my *** ed came from my own research at age 13ish mostly from books and then magazines and from age 15 the Internet was my main source. My mum gave me on little talk about contraception and safe *** a couple of days after my 16th bday (age of consent is 16 in uk). I had a little from school but it was just about growing up and pregnancy and one lesson on smear tests and one lesson on contraception. that is all i can remember! i would rather parents and teachers to be able to have a wide range of info and more than one opinion

from what i’ve heard in school compared against actual facts, the school stuff is way inaccurate. the way they teach it here makes it seems like if you have sex, it’s soo wrong, and if you have it once, you’re really likely to get pregnant even with condoms & bc [even though they both have a high success rate in preventing pregnancies]. i wish they would just have a program with accurate facts instead of opinions.
i don’t think i’ve ever had a *** talk with my parents. pretty much all i know comes from the internet…
