Sex Education

We're watching a video where two (real life, completely un-cartoon) people have sexual intercourse in health at the moment.
I'm rejoicing. Some gross, bring the teens back to earth stuff at last!

Specifically, it wasn't really sex ed, but in Health, our teacher talked about condoms, STD's, etc..

I used to go to a Catholic school and while I was still there, they didn't allow anything close to sex education, basically because they thought it would 'taint the young minds'. Lol. Anyway, I think it just left the students curious, resulting to female students getting pregnant. =P

But, I don't know, which would cause more 'experimentation'. Sex ed or no sex ed. Maybe it depends.

I think no matter if you have Sex Ed or not. You're still gonna want to experiment. :file:

Crap Double post. Ignore. Slow computer :grr:

If you've had sex ed, you'll be experimenting with an informed mind. That's the difference.

For us, I don't really think we dodged anything. As my teacher pointed out, "Every STD is walking around in that hallway out there." Totally believe him.

But it wouldn't be surprising if certain schools did dodge certain topics, especially when it's a school that has ties to religion. Sex isn't openly discussed in a Catholic school...or at least I don't think it would be.

In primary school I got a talk that all our class thought would be "The Talk" but it was just about puberty and periods and stuff. In secondary school so far we got another period talk and in Biology we got the scientific side of sex, though despite it only being "scientific" it was still a bit awkward hearing it from our teacher. In my SPHE (Social Personal Health Education, I don't know if schools in other countries do it) book there's a huge amount of information about everything, but we didn't come across it yet so I think we might not be reading that chapter until we're older. Which is a bit stupid, I think, considering what some of the girls in my class are doing at the moment. (and I don't get the thing about it being a Catholic school or not- maybe it's just where I live, but Catholic schools teach the same sex ed as anywhere else)

My school doesn't cover the whole contraception, STD's, etc. til year 10 & 11. but by that time probably about 1/4 of my year would have gone further than we're taught about.
And homosexuality, we don't even cover it which i think is stupid. More people get teased because of their sexuality rather than other stuff.
Yeah, we're taught all the scientific stuff but what use is that?

Yeah I think schools need to step up to the plate when it comes to sex ed. I mean last year they had this lady come who pretty much told us kids just don't have sex;; problem solved.

I visited my friend's school in Jersey, and her health class, like, taught everything. How to put a condom on [the teacher demonstrated its, er, limits xD], what masturbation was, STD's, contraception methods and how useful each one was, legal ages, rape, abusive relationships, virginity, people's morals, ideal partners... There was abortion, and she informed the class on where to go for it and other things like birth control, morning-after pills&condoms... And, of course, the classic reproduction system and how it works, plus how long semen can stay alive in a woman's body.

They honestly covered most aspects of sex - in ninth grade. (:
I thought it was great, really. I listened the whole time and was filled in my my friend on the other stuff. Catholic schools are really about abstinence (which makes sense because it's a sin in Catholicism)...

My sex ed class last year (year eight) was REALLY intense. It was full on aswell but I think that was because it was an all girls school and girls are more mature then boys XD. We got to put condoms and lube on foam dicks and it was hilarious. Lube was everywhere! When we left the class our dresses and hair were covered with lube. We all got to taste flavoured condoms, handle the pill, handle other contreceptive shit like a 'female condom' and diaphragm shit or something. It was full on lol. :lmfao

^^^ LOL
for me sex ed every year actually is a different subject.
Last year was just the basics and then this year we learnt about sexuality identity and abortion and stuff. But I hate it because they keep saying this "Bottomline, NO SEX"
and I feel that that's restricting us. They tell us homosexuals and bisexuals and other people who are not heterosexuals should come for help because it's wrong.
I think that just shows their old fashioned mindset and I hate that.

We get every year in both biology and SE (social ed).
It's not just videos, it's demonstrations on how to use contraception. they tell us everything that will benefit, where to get help and advice etc...

Believe it or not, we had out first sex ed course in P6 (I'd be around 10/11), which I do think is too young, but not everyone is as immature about it in SE.

I think it may also make people think of sex as a casual thing, that everyone has to do it at a young age.

I'm jealous. We have a one-week session during our health class about why sex will kill you or give you a "garden" on your penis... obviously talking about STDs. But that's it. Then they say that you're a whore if you have more than three partners. They actually said those exact words.

That's ridiculous.

I love how the government complains about the amount of teenage pregnancies and abortions there are and yet they won't put funding into sex ed.

Where about are you? I think Britain, especially Scotland (where I am), has not only an amazing education, but also a lot of funding for sex ed and health. Things that will actually benefit us and the country at the same time.

Our sex ed wasn't really that informative...
"This is a condom. Use it. Okay here's a sheet. Fill it in."

Central United States. It's the epitome of sexism and lack of proper education and political correctness. I've heard of a lot of good sex ed programs over there in the Europe area. The US generally fails at teaching us, so I'll generally do my own research and write a paper about how the teacher was wrong. :mrgreen: And I persuaded him a little bit. :tehe: It really was a good paper, I might type it up and post a link on here.

We didn't even get to see a condom. We saw pictures of sexual organs with gonorrhoea.

^ Oh, I'm sure that was attractive...
I suppose it'd teach boys to think about where they're gonna stick it, and girls to be picky :file:

My health class did Sex Ed. for the whole second semester.[10th grade] It was very informative. We learned all about the reproductive system, sex, birth control methods, STIs, and did talk about abstinece. Also, we learned about morning after pill, abortion, pretty much everything we needed to know.

I'll rephrase, when done correctly, sex education has the potential to inform students. :mrgreen:
