Should young children receive sex education?

Thank god, SG. ;) Good thing I was able to sort of read between the lines. ;)
 
My dad actually gave me porn movies when I was 14. I already had found his stashes of porn magazines. It's better than sitting thru listening to a father trying to explain. :D

:rofl: Geez...well, at least your father gave them to you at a sort of proper time. ;) I bet you were a bit embarrassed when he handed them over to you, hey?

Not really...he left me home alone all day. :p
 
just a thought.. You DO realize that most educational systems use sex ed to scare kids? Like Lasza said, they showed pictures and movies of STD's and pregnancies. I think if we were to give a good approach with sex, like someone else said - teach them it isnt wrong - but dont scare the crap out of them. "This is what you do, this is what may happen, this is how you can prevent it, this is what is wrong." etc etc - the chain of reaction with sex is so complicated. No one prepared me for the emotional attachment I'd have to the other person, i was just prepared for the physical part of it - no wonder people are curious!

If i knew sex didnt have any emotional strings to it - i might have been one of those teenagers in jr high having sex too early. But then again I grew up with my parents being religious and saying "no sex before marriage." That and my shyness kept me from being bad :)

Either way, you can introduce things early, it just has to be PRODUCTIVE, not scary. But thats me. :)

12th GRADE??? Are you nuts? I believe sex education should start once kids hit puberty as they become aware of their bodies and will be curious about sex. It'd be a safe call to educate them as much as possible to make them make safe and good decisions in the future.
What's more, if kids weren't educated around puberty time -- they'd be vulnerable and not be able to understand the consquences of STDS and pregnancy until it was too late.

Hmm... okay, I guess - 7th grade should be fine... :dunno:

That's more like it. :) I believe sex education should start around middle school level -- like you said, 7th grade. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade....and on going through out high school. I think it's exceptionally important to educate kids throughout high school especially while their hormones are raging. :P
 
:werd: Yeah, I learned about sex education when I was 12/13 years old... that's 6th/7th grade.
 
It is unavoidable. Sex is taught through open society for better or for worse. We either encourage safety sex or their curiousity in the unexplored realm of the wild. The only thing we could do is to show the consequences of what sex could do to their lives and to allow them to make decision on their own, and to show them how sex behaves and how we should react to them, that is something that their knowledge can make the best out of them in their lives.

Exactly! Kids are gonna find out on their own one way or the other. We might as well let them know before they hear it from someone else.

Yeah. It is like trying to keep water in our hands without leaking a drop.
 
Junior High is the best Way to teach Children about Sex, Protection... Not High School.. Kids get curious at the young age.. and High School is too late to learn about sex.. I plan on Telling My Children about Sex when Markus turns 12 Yrs Old... :)
 
Nah,
I'd rather be told my children earlier which best start after grade 2 because... for my reason protection for children precouisly.. What if happend stranger touches you and trying to attempt more than deeper.. Affect children will emotions and not understand why Adult trying to attempt sex younger children. I taught them and proprite ways which for your safety protection.. I was told them if Stranger and trying to touch you.. Simple you kick harder their balls.. and run for scream immeditly 1st house go in and knock for help.. If suppose already intercourse children will understand what mean.. easy for them can explain the police and what happend or counselloring whatever depend on children can be brave or not.. Not easy..
My little son is 7 yrs old and knows about Sex.. He have to rights protect himself and make sure not let anyone touch his parts.. My daughter is almost nearly rape but the teen boy was hurt his balls.. Who did taught by me.. was told my daughter. Police was trying to press charge to me.. I was told them NO.. YOU CANNOT RIGHTS PRESS THE CHARGE TO ME BECZ OF MY DAUGHTER.. I was asked why you want charge me for.. Do you want let teen boy rape my daughter ? Police gulped.. I have good point.. have to let her rights kick boy's balls harder... reason to protect herself.. she knows what mean about sex for.. She already told police ... Teen boy want sex with me.. I have to whomp his balls harder. Police was little cracked laugh and accept release us go.. *whew* She is only 9 yrs old.. ((chuckles))

I do not want wait until turn 12 yrs old.. What if happends a child got molested by Adult stranger.. how can your child needs tell as far mostly close their chest bit longer.. affect their emotions worst later..

I've seen so many young children got vitcim.. Really hurts my hearts out for innocent child(s). That my reason really wants taught them and understand what sex means..

My eldest son knows about sex but doesn't want break his virginitty too young early have sex in junior high school. He was hoping wait until After High School graduation.. I hope so his word would be promised Pretty nearly 13 yrs old soon on june his bday.. He is quite hunk boy.. *sigh*
 
Bullymom,

I know what u are saying.. I did told my son about the touching .. I told him that if someone touch u where u do not want to be touched at and u feel it is not right.. u can come and tell me about it...

But talking about 'sex' to a 9 yrs old is too early for me.. as a mother.. Cuz I know my boy isn't liking Girls right now He is more into Sports and working hard in school he does not have time to chit chat with Girls or Flirt with Girls.. When that time comes I will tell him about sex.. and Protection...

Most of the time Young Children are not always pay attention to Girls but Of course all Children are different those days....
 
Junior high is a good place to start. However, the detailed information could wait until high school. The concept could be explained in junior high so that they know what to think about. If they have more questions, they can ask their parents.
 
Well,

Where my two boys goes to school ...had started learning in 5th grade...I believe it was better that children are to be taught at middle school before reaching to Jr High....because, I remember I had friends from Jr High when I was in school and some of them did have unsafe sex...So, it's important to be taught before they reach to JR High since that when girls start to wear make-ups and boys start to get a bit wild....I think... :lol:

Yes, I second it! Look Bullymom´s story... OMG!
I heard very often over the abusers hurt the children etc... Terrible...
Here in Germany, the children trained how to protect the abusers.... The parents/teachers teach them....
I keep on tell my boys to watch out the strangers...
I repeat them to not take any candies from the strangers to seduce them in the car....
I´m agree that the children at aged 9 receive the sex education from the parents & school.
I noticed that most children are not interesting to know about sex education from their parents but friends. One of my friends want to educate her 16
years old daughter to use sex safe but she ignore it & said: "I know, I know, I´m not stupid... etc... Don´t tell me what do ... I´m not child...
etc `" Now she´s pregnant!!! She had a baby boy last October. My friend is not only one because I heard it often from my other friends & my work
colleagues over the children etc. It´s not easy because of their puberty time...
I strong beleive that the children should receive the sex education an earlier before they reach puberty. I think they would respect their teacher over sex education more than their parents...

What do you think?
