Description
Kids get bored and they have intercourse. The least you can do is teach them about safe sex.At my old high school there was no sex ed class at at all. There was health class taught by the gym teacher and that was it. The classic: We cannot go past the large intestines.

The program will work if you teach teens on why being a parent is hard especially when you're a teen still going to school. And it will work if parents enforce the abstinance and their religion enforces it. And teach them early as 5th grade. Then they'll not have sex until marriage.

It hardly changes anything. The key words you said are "teens" and "early as 5th grade." Even if it does, rape by an adult to a teenager still happens, essentially rendering this whole thing moot. If you really want it to work, we need self-defense programs that teaches us on what to do if you're forced down by a potential rapist.

What a coincidence. I remember a high school teacher teaching health class in the first semester, then gym class in the second semester (saved PE for the winter morning season).

Telling Teenagers "DON'T HAVE SEX!!!" and ending the conversation there stops Teens from having Sex in the same way telling Teenagers "DON'T DO DRUGS!!!" and ending the conversation there prevents Teens from doing Drugs!

What I find stupid is that sex Ed was cancelled cuz parents didn't want their kids seeing that kind of stuff. Parents said parents should teach their kids. And then they don't.
I never got sex Ed. My parents never gave me "the talk". They gave me a book. On periods. The only thing about sex it said was to do it with someone you trust.
And so I found that stupid and went on the Internet. I went on medical sites and learned how to do it safely.
sadly, not everyone's going to seek out sex Ed before they do it.

Introduce them to video games and they'll be abstinent up to their 50s.

That may have worked in the 90s. These days, sex is becoming a normal part of gaming (not that that's a bad thing, mind you), and gaming itself isn't a social stigma any more.

With all the porn on the internet, kids don't need sex ed.Β
My parents never let me learn sex ed in 5th grade but I never went out having sex. The internet taught me enough about it e-eΒ
Trust me, many kids aren't as stupid as you think. Almost all of them know having sex means pregnancy, but the thing is they don't care. Sex is being idolized, and they think if they have it they're cool. It's all about reputation, not curiosity.

But children DO need sex-ed. Porn isn't going to tell them how to use a condom, porn isn't going to teach them how to prevent contracting STDs; in fact, porn is notorious for IGNORING the use of condoms and the subsequent contraction of STDs; in the late '90s and early '00s, porn actors left and right were contracting HIV because of overall negligence to use a condom, especially because directors refused to let their talents wear any, and because STDs like HIV are asymptomatic, nobody who has it can know they have it unless they had already undergone testingβand in the porn industry, those who did undergo testing usually falsified their results in order to continue working (see also: Marc Wallice).
Porn is not a better alternative to comprehensive sex-ed, and it never will be.

I understand what you're saying. Maybe I wasn't really that clear in my comment and it sounded kinda stupid xD
I didn't mean kids could just use porn as their sex ed. Porn is the worst example for normal/safe sex. What I meant was with ALL the porn on the internet, which is now so easy to access all the time, kids already know what sex is and how it works. And I was really shocked to learn that my cousin, before he was even in 5th grade knew a lot about sex, pregnancy and STDs. He knew what they were and would kind of joke about them like a teen would, like he's already heard enough of it online or in social media and heard them joking about it and now he does too. And he isn't a toddler just copying what people said on TV. Him, and every other child in this generation, are really mature for their age(well he's really immature xD But he knows a lot for his age) Kids today are taught about STDs from things like commercials, internet, classmates, siblings, parents, etc. And parents these days are very open about the birds and the bees with their kids that they are very educated about this stuff already. But in this generation, the norm is to have sex, no matter what your age is, because they see it in movies, hear it in songs, and actually witness it on the internet. Kids learn really fast, especially in these days. But like I said before, they don't do it because they're curious about someone else's penis or someones vagina. They do it because they want a reputation of being "cool". Most of them know how sex works and know that it 'feels good' and with that knowledge many of them go out and hump everything that breaths. Just think 20 years ago many kids weren't THAT educated about sex so early, and teen pregnancy and STD was lower than right now. So many people think the earlier you teach your kid, the 'smarter' they'll be. Just let kids be kids, they could care less about sex until someone talks to them about it.

Β Apparently my mom said that they had sex ed in sixth grade, SIXTH FREAKING GRADE! By the time I was in sixth grade, they didn't even have one instance of some kind of health class because "they couldn't afford it", and once I saw a little girl, about ten or eleven, walking around with a baby bump. It's ridiculous.

Hah. In my country mandatory comprehensive sex ed starts in 5th grade.
Result: Extremely low teen pregnancy rates, STDs are virtually a non-issue among teens.
That's how you do it right. Kids will fuck whether you want them to or not. It should be obvious, because let's face it, the parents were most likely no different when they were young. It's simple common sense.

Wow all we got was a dumb talk about puberty despite 95% of the class has gone through it already.

I had sex ed 4 years in a row. Grade 6,7,8, and 9. I enjoy sex ed a lot.

Nobody ever told me to not have sex, and I'm a proud 21-year-old virgin who's saving himself for marriage. I guess I'm just a societal anomaly.Β

And that's fine, so long as you understand how the body works, what consent its, what a healthy relationship is, how to use BC, etc.

*sigh* Basically all I learned about sex in school so far is that I'll get STDs, fail school, and die from kissing. The Internet is where I have to educate myself. XD
BTW, I live in a conservative suburb in Tennessee, where you can't even SAY "gay" in the classroom.

Wait...
DIE FROM KISSING!? Wut?
And wow that you can't even say "gay", like hell it has more than one meaning school!

Exactly; not everyone does as they're told. However, I still think abstinence should be an option, just not the only one.

Sex education is lacking in so many ways. We need to tell people the legitimate consequences of having sex instead of glossing over it and just telling kids not to have it at all.

That's one of your points that I would have to agree on. And I thank you for at least being civil about your opinion.Β Β

I don't approve of abortions at all, but just telling hormone-crazed teenagers not to have sex and then handing them cheap condoms won't help anyone.
There's also the issue of child support. A lot if boys don't know they'll be liable for child support if they get their girlfriend pregnant. They need to know.
I try to be civil.

Fair enough.Β Β
Like I mentioned before, while I disagree with some of your opinions, I really appreciate the fact that you have the decent kindness to be civil about them (and that's saying a lot, since, like you said, politeness is a rare thing on most parts of the web.)Β Β

Yeah, some people are just nasty online. I don't get it. There are some rumors about me going around on DA. Someone on here didn't like my stance on free-roaming horse management, but instead of responding with research, he posted a hate comment about me. He dragged his girlfriend into it and she stalked me and stole and published my personal information. Well, actually she got my cousin's personal information, but her intent was to publish mine. When I told my friends a few groups that I'm affiliated with that she has an IP logger, she started a sympathy campaign where she she claims that I've been telling people that she is engaging in illegal activity and stealing financial information and the like. The last I heard, the original guy had gotten in on the rumor-mongering and was telling people that I think it's funny when people get sick. Some people just go nuts-o when they get on the internet.

Our health is taught by our gym teacher too.
But everyone in my school know the rights about safe sex.
Another reason i love it here. But, still scary just thinking that someone, somewhere is getting raped. Or you MAY be next....

I agree in this day in time, being abstinence only does not work, while I believe children shouldn't be having sex, I know they are. Β So, they should at least understand sex, birth control, etc before they do it.Β

Ah don't worry, there's plenty of time for it after marriage ene
And I don't care WHAT the schools teach, that's what I am going to do for myself and what I'm going to teach my kids and I'd really prefer my future husband to be a virgin until after we're married.
π: 0 β©: 1
But what about after marriage? Surely you(I know I)would much prefer to wait a few years before having children, assuming you/I want children at all.
π: 0 β©: 2
The thing is, getting married doesn't teach you everything about sex. Sex ed should teach you safe sex so if you choose not to have sex before marriage, you at least know what you're doing, how to do it, and how to stay safe.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Well after marriage it's okay, but with the person you're married to, of course.
And I sure do want to have kids someday, although I don't like babies.

I have a health class taught by my gym teacher too. They teach us the same, EXACT thing every year... But we've never gone over sex or anything like that. It's a bit of a forbidden topic.Β

Kids get bored and they use drugs. The least we can do is teach them about safe drugs. I do not support abstinence only drug-education.

There is a difference. Sex is normal human and animal behavior which without it we wouldn't even exist. Also sex has some health benefits such as being a painkiller and reduces heart disease: www.healthline.com/health-slid⦠as long as the sex is protected, you can have sex with 50 people and be healthy. STD is just a random draw and really has nothing to do with how many people you have sex.
On the other hand, drugs may be natural but it is not normal to snort it up your nose, nothing is supposed to go up your nose but air. Some drugs may have some health benefits, but they are still not good for you and too much can kill you. Too much drugs can kill you, too much sex can't.
That is why abstinence only ed only works with drugs. Sex is not bad, drugs are.
π: 0 β©: 1
You can probably get some of the same benefits of sex by getting a toy and some porn. That way, no babies, no VD. And drugs? Well, kids are gonna be bored and do them. Why not make them safer to use and have some kind of production standard? And besides, in some places people chew on coca leaves. My Cherokee ancestors smoked tobacco from a communal pipe, and railroad workers from China used opium to help them through hard, boring work.
My point is, if a girl wants to have an orgasm, she can get a massager from Walmart and read or look at some yaoi on the internet. Why go for some jerk-ass just because he looks hot?

What if she has a boyfriend? You can't just say she should never have sex. As long as there is protection it should not matter.Β
