My mom is totally set on sending me to a sexual education class because she's afraid I'm going to get "in over my head" with my boyfriend. I know I'm smarter then that, and he's a really nice guy and we aren't about to have sex because neither of us are ready for that. I've talked to her about it and I've made it very clear that I don't want to go, but she still thinks it's a good idea. Now, I'm pretty sure I know most of that sort of stuff from like my friends and stuff, but I'm not about to admit that to her. I think I should just go to this class so she backs off about it, but I really don't see the point of her waisting my time and her money on something I don't need. I don't know what to do......

Oh, also, in this class she's going to be sitting next to me holding my hand the whole time, that kind of makes me feel uncomfortable. And, I talk to my other relatives who are a little bit more, let's say, understanding about these sort of things who have the correct and accurat information about it. I know not all the info I get from my friends is true, but I sometimes double check with the other relative. I can't exactly tell her that because she and the other relative don't quite see eye to eye.

Hi Pretty :)
There's nothing wrong in attending a sex education class and infact it would be great fun attending such clasess no matter what the degree of knowledge that you have on this topic unless you are a guru.
Moreover, most of the times, we often get misguided by our co-friends who themselves know little/moderate about this topic.
For Eg. People know what is sex and other things. But, nobody knows, how and why exactly it happens like that(The biological Reasons).
To be frank, having a fair knowledge is not enough. You should know every aspect of it, right from begining to the end.
I personnaly recommend you to attend the class and have fun teasing others......)

a million. what's your age? 22 2. what's your non secular stance? Christian 3. what's your political association? None 4. what's your element of education? extreme college graduate 5. Given the statistic that in accordance to annum very just about 750,000 teenage females elderly 15 years-19 years grow to be pregnant ought to you're saying that sex education classes in universal and secondary colleges are helping? of direction not. they prefer to be extra image and convey back those action pictures from the 50's that use propaganda. Kinda like Reefer insanity, yet about sex.

Just go to the class.Whats the worse that could happen? You might learn something? its better to go now - before you are ready to have sex, not after you are already sexually active.
Your mom wants to prepare you for when you are ready for sex, and she is responsible and reasonable enough to send you to the experts for correct and thorough information. Dont assume you know the truth about everything and dont assume you dont need it. Most likely its friends who are your age that will give you incorrect information. You probably need the class more than you realize.

Offer to talk to her about all of this stuff if you and she are comfortable with it. It will make her feel good that you are able to confide in her with that sort of stuff and that she will be able to trust you more as you get older and start driving and stuff. Plus it will save her money. The main thing for a teenager is to be able to talk to her honest and upfront. She cares about you and she and your dad will be the only people that will ALWAYS no matter what be there for you. Plus the information that you get from your friends isn't always accurate.
If she isn't comfortable with talking to you about it, then I would take the class to make her feel better, she is doing this because she cares about you, that is all. Plus like I said before all the information from your friends isn't always accurate.

Sounds to me like your mom is just being a mom. She's worried about you, and she may even be thinking about what she was doing at your age. It sounds like you have your head on straight, but sometimes we do things just to make our parents happy. I dont think it would be a bad idea to go to the class. You might learn something that even your friends dont know !!! Good luck !!!

Go to the class...you might be surprised what you may learn. Generally they don't spend a lot of time telling you what sex is and how it is done anymore...most kids already know that, but give you options and discuss choices and decisions related to sex. That's probably not what your friends are talking about.

So, can you name four forms of birth control and the advantages and disadvantages of each? Do you know the initial symptoms of gonorhea and syphilis? If your period is late, how soon should you start worrying about being pregnant? Can you get chlamydia from a toilet seat? Can you get AIDS from oral sex?
If you can't answer all of these, go to class. If you don't need it now, go anyway. You'll need it sooner or later.
