Enough is Enough

Your being a narrowminded fool, who doesnt leave his perfect little box to understand things and this is why I honestly thought your were a person trolling this forum. I don't understand how a mentally sane person can think like you do.
You know there are many many ways to prevent pregnancy whilst having sex and at the same time protect you.

Children / teens have always learned about sex one way or another, thousands of years ago it would probably have been at a younger age than we learn now, but we can teach it properly now.

But sex is pleasurable, if you dont teach them that then it defies the whole point, sex isn't and has never been solely for reproduction, and have to say I have no problem with teens (as children really cant) being sexually active, as long as they know everything about it.

Hell, if I had learnt some of this shit at a younger age things would have been smoother for me.

 

Um... having sex before marriage is not a sin SK. It's just not right in God's eyes. Also SK, I don't think christians will even have the power to stop others from putting sex in movies and the likes because it is adult material, which people already know that they cannot let their children watch it unless they give their kids permission. ??? What in the world is a Pedophile?

 

See that is why alot of kids runaway or just complete dont listen to the parent. Your not supposed to have a robot child that does what you want all the time, your supposed to have someone you can teach and help, let them make mistakes and help them not make one;s in the future, i mean yes kids would be way more than bad, they would be monster. You cant stop someone from doing what they want, just look at bubble boy.

 

Simple. If you are going to have sex, use condoms.

If you are stupid enough and forget about the condom, use Plan B.

If you are the dumbest bitch in the world, then don't have sex at all.

You can't stop people from having sex. We do not ban individuality and sexuality here in America. We embrace it as a whole, the good and the bad.

 

but we dont have to except the bad parts of it, we can do something about but ppl are to lazy. I really thin the ppl that are teaching this are dumb, they should stop, i mean kids today cus, and smoke and have sex at six grade or lower sometimes, so really all there doing is speeding up this process making it so fourth graders do the same thing and six graders even worse.

 

On sex ed classes,I think its bull.Not that it might cause kids or teens to have sex,but because I dont think it works.It is something that parents have to do,and even then it might not work because each person makes their own choices.Now it might help them make the decision to atleast use a condom so they dont get an STD/pregnant/whatever,but it isnt going to stop the sex.

And it isnt just our generation who is having sex as teens,so did the last one.Our parents may not be the best at teaching us this,but at the same time they might just because of that.Personally,I havnt had sex with anyone,and if it keeps going this way I probably wont unless I get plastered.But people are going to go around f***ing each other.All that anyone,parent,teacher,and other wise can do is try to make them do it safe so they dont screw up big time.

Oh,and while its now offtopic,18 wasnt,and in some places isnt,the youngest time someone good marry.You could have sex in marriage as low as 14,and lower I believe even further back in time.Think of that as you will.

 

I am 19 and still a virgin. I choose to keep my virginity. There are plenty of times in my life where I could have lost it, wild drunken college parties, random strangers online, or the casual "friends." but I am smart enough to say no. I am not saying sex is bad, but some people can't control themselves. Look at the fuck tards on 16 and Pregnant. They CHOSE to not wear condoms, They CHOSE to have sex, and They CHOSE to have the baby. They can be smart and give it up or abortion but they kept the babies, and they complain. Having a baby isn't a walk in the park, as some will think.

So have sex ed class is a good thing. It will teach children how to prepare or prevent STDS and Pregnancy. Like Toph said, it is the media. Music, Music Videos, and even Movies show sex to be cool and easy.

 

that is true, but really this generation is worse than any other time. i mean looking at the numbers of statistic today, kids are babys at a higher rate than married couples and ppl over 18. Plus today it's almost normal to have a kid at 16 or 15. So sex ed classes dont do jack, they dont help at all to me, i've been in five or six, and all the say is dont do this or this is the risk, or what can happen, but they dont really help. They ,make it all boring and most ppl fall asleep. So i dont believe sex ed does much. Some ppl dont choose to have sex or have babies, ppl are also forced to, or to drunk to know what is happening.

 

Education is power. I would rather have kids be fully educated about sex and maybe experiment a bit then do it anyway (which they will, you just have to accept that) without real knowledge about what goes on, and end up hurting either themselves, their partner, or getting a girl pregnant.
Do I think 10, 11, 12, 13 year olds should be having sex? No. Really, they can't comprehend what they're getting into, but you can't expect them to remain ignorant. If you don't teach them, they'll pick it up from somewhere else, and end up having misconceptions about sex that could have been prevented in the first place.
We need to stop treating sex as such a taboo. Everyone does it (well except for members of the clergy and people who have chosen to remain celibate for life, but whatever) at least once in their life, and people are made so darn uncomfortable about it. I could never discuss sex with my mom, hell I was too afraid to tell her when I got my period, and I think I'm worse off for it. Young children are being put into these situations whether you like it or not; kids are reaching puberty earlier than before, they're going to be confronted with the issue of sex more than likely before they enter high school. The only way to prevent it is to teach them the dangers and the truth about it, just as would for drugs, alcohol, etc. (no, I am not putting sex on the same level as drugs, I'm just noting that education about drugs starts at a very early age, and sex ed should too.) The entire sex ed system needs to be revamped, at least in America. The only thing I learned was how to properly put on a condom. :/

 

I don't think we're telling little kids to have sex here. I think 10 is an acceptable age to begin being taught and aware of sex. I did the whole sex ed thing from grade 5, filled with 9-10 year olds. Parents sign a permission slip saying that they want their kids to attend or not attend. So here, we can narrow it down to parent hood as well I guess.
And who says the educators are telling the children the pleasures of sex? It was more of how babies are made back in my fifth grade. Then the net year it was more about how things work and the year after that it was concerning about safety (so condoms, birth control etc). Not once was "sex is a pleasure" discussed during that time, although Masturbation was mentioned at the very end but at that point, kids are still closed off about sex and will treat it as a joke.
example, a kid would yell out "haha, Billy is a wanker" if this kid named Billy were to simply touch himself for one reason or another (like re-arranging underwear).
