SEX

Lets all ask ourselves a quick question. How much of what your parents and teachers told you did you listen to in those preteen ages? Personally, I though I knew everything there was to know. I don't even remember if I was taught abstinence or sex education in school. That shows how successful their message was. Frankly, sex education was boring. If one is trying to preach abstinence or sex education they need to make it exciting so students will listen. One student brought up in class today to bring in nursing students to teach whatever kind of sexual education the school feels necessary. This way, it's a young adult and not somebody they are already have their own stereotypes about.

I believe in a mix of sex education and abstinence. I don't think we should be telling our kid's it's okay to sex whenever they please, but I also don't believe in scaring them to the point where it's all lies. They need to know the truth ,plain and simple, the good and the bad. Obviously, buffer the information at younger ages but as children grow into their teens they need to know what sex is so they don't get "curious" and find out for themselves and possibly contract a STD or become pregnant.
