the problem is alot of sex education isn't just no education, it's negative education, alot of lies and such.
And the problem is a sexulized world, the problem is that the age at wich kids hit puberty is lower, while the age they are supposed to get married and have sex acording to some people is getting older. Absitnence is something kids should strive for, but we need to get rid of this childish mentality of, "If we don't tell them about sex they won't have it." funny how the states that follow the mentality of the OP have the highest teen pregnancies and rates of STD's, while states that have proper education don't.
I'm so sick of this childish morality that becomes imorality because instead of equipping kids with the lessons they need we want to shelter them and just expect the world to go along with that.
You know I think you're right. The way I found out about this forum is bc a friend who is here wrote this paper for her agnotology class about the history of creationism. It won this big award so ppl were talking about on Fb. That's when I learned that there's fake education. Not just about that but about all kinds of things. I learned about fake education about vaccines too. I hadn't known there was fake education about sex but it makes sense to me that there is. That's really sad. It's really cruel and unfair you know, to teach kids things that aren't true. They'll think they know about something but they don't, and they can get hurt.
Ummm I want kids to learn what sex leads to. I want kids to know the consequences of what can happen if you do have unprotected sex and the diseases that are out there. This is for their safety and parents need to teach them this also not just schools.Students are not supposed to be given condoms in schools. Students are not going to school to learn how to have sex, schools were created to educate students, to prepare them for work. Students are not ready for sex. Contrary to popular belief not all students are having sex. The reason why more teens are becoming sexually active is because of the prevalence of sexual songs, pornography, and adult shows and movies. Pornography especially is one of the biggest problems in this world that needs to be stopped.

This is also true. The world is sexualized more then it once was.The problem is most guys won't use them. Girls think it can't happen to me. We live in a highly sexualized world.
It reminds me alot of the drug lies, if you tell your kid one lie, "Pot is as bad as LSD. or crack *and yes this has been argued by the guys deciding these things in goverment* then when kids find out pot isn't bad, they think you lied about the rest. Same with sex, and it creates problems, abstinence is 99.99999999999999999999999% effective if used, problem is it has a high failure rate to be adapted.
My parents did that whole scare tactic thing...but they were Latino immigrants who were raised in a culture that just didn't talk about sex...period. It didn't work on us. At ALL. Fortunately, we were all smart enough to figure out the whole birth-control thing. None of us were virgins by the time we graduated high school...but because we were smart enough to get the proper information, there were no teen pregnancies, just lots of sex. I was single until I was 34 and I can guarantee you I was not a virgin on my wedding night...
I'm super surprised because Boston and Pittsburgh aren't backwards. They're really progressive. They have some terrific schools. At least I know Boston does bc my cousin lives there. That's awful it was known as heroin high. I can't imagine using heroin. At any age but especially as a teen. How do they even get that stuff? That's super hard core stuff.
Some woman don't like condoms. That might be why.The problem is most guys won't use them. Girls think it can't happen to me. We live in a highly sexualized world.
And just to be clear, teen pregnancy (and, afaik, STD) rates have been dropping steadily since the early 90s. In '92 there were roughly 60 pregnancies per 1000 teens, there's now about 24. So for all the freaking out people do about teens having babies, things have been getting remarkably better (same goes with violent crime).I think STD transmission and teen pregnancy would drop significantly if some didn't object on religious grounds to sex education classes in public school.
Same, in Arkansas. We got the "how stuff works" class in 5th grade, and the "consequences of doing stuff" class in the 9th grade health class. This was in the late 90s and early 2000s.Meanwhile, back in the 1980s, in my bible belt state, sex ed was covered in middle school, it was rehashed again in freshman health class, and everyone got the separate boys and girls puberty talk in the fifth grade.
Whenever the government mandates stupid laws or policies that force people to do stuff or learn about stuff, it s because people aren't doing it themselves beforehand in their own homes, and then it grows to become a problem, and the government has to step in to 'fix" it.Students are not supposed to be given condoms in schools. Students are not going to school to learn how to have sex, schools were created to educate students, to prepare them for work. Students are not ready for sex. Contrary to popular belief not all students are having sex.

I think STD transmission and teen pregnancy would drop significantly if some didn't object on religious grounds to sex education classes in public school. The argument being that such instruction will actually make kids want to have sex once they learn the particulars.
I think that naive and this propagated by people who forgot what it felt like to be a walking hormone when they were kids.
Better to teach a child how to be safe than to bury a child who died of ignorance about what can kill them when they're young and frisky.
Same question pertains to the men who say the same thing. They don't like condoms. "Do you like STD's, the life countdown to the day you die of the AIDS virus you contracted sexing bareback, or becoming a parent way before you want to?"Some woman don't like condoms. That might be why.
I have. It was done quite regularly back in the '90s.This. But I've never heard of students being given condoms in HS. In college yes but not HS. That would be so awkward to get a condom from your teacher.
That is good.Um no most HS girls are totally aware that they can get pregnant from having sex, even just the 1st time, even during your period. If they don't know that then there were some serious gaps in their education.
