4 Part Question?

Question

1. Should sex education be the parents responsiblity or the schools?
2. What should the school or parents be teaching (Abstinence or safety)?
3. Do you think abstinence is realistic in todays world?
4. When you teach safety do you mention that nothing is 100% effective against pregnancy or disease?

I personally beleive that the parents should be responsible for providing this kind of information. I beleive that you should teach abstinence knowing in reality that may very well not happen so you should also prepare them with information regarding safety, not just against pregnancy but STD's. I also believe that you should educate that nothing is 100% effective. I don't think you should use scare tactics, but I think being honest is a must.

Answer 1

1. both they should get info from parents and school. the mmore the better.
2. both. that way they can be abstinent until emotionally and physically ready. when they are ready they can use what they were taught about protection to stay safe.
3. abstinence is realistic for anyone determined enough. its a personal decision and everyone has to decide if it is an important goal for themselves. it wont work if parents, schools, and churches are pushing abstinence on young adults it has to be something they want and value.
4. of course you tell them that nothing is 100%. that is just a fact and important to know that no matter the precautions taken accidents do happen

Answer 2

1. Should sex education be the parents responsiblity or the schools? Parents
2. What should the school or parents be teaching (Abstinence or safety)? Both. Abstinence, but if you are gonna.....
3. Do you think abstinence is realistic in todays world? Yes, perhaps even more realistic than when I was a teen in the 80s. AIDS was a new disease that only happened to junkies and gay men back then.
4. When you teach safety do you mention that nothing is 100% effective against pregnancy or disease? One certainly should.

Answer 3

The responsibility of making sure your child is equipped with enough information to enter the wild world is a parents. A teacher will not be held responsible if a student gets stds, pregnant , etc., you will. It should be absolutly accepted that teachers teach kids how to have safe sex, if any. In the school i went to years ago they taught both but strained the importance of not having sex For it was the safest. It is realistic in todays world, it depends soley on how the child feels about it and how good their friends are(peer pressure). Just remember some kids are put off it. The best way to go around teaching safe sex is by being honest. If they don't know the truth they may end up learning the hard way.

Answer 4

I think if parents talked to there children about it and then schools talked about it'd help everyone i dont think that the teachers should talk about it i think they should get a group of students together some that do have sex and some that dont and do the pros and cons even get some kids in there that already have children and let them bring there newborns in and give everyone a reality what its like When you have people who are you're own age talking about it i'ts different for kids because when there parents do it its' like everyone's nagging at you and if you do have sex and your parents think absitince is the best way then you've let them down and thats a lot on someones shoulders' I think its even better if they talk about condoms and diseases what you can get what medicines you can take and everything instead of going to school and act like no ones having sex!! if everyone was a little more open about it i think we'd all feel better!!

Answer 5

1. Both
2. start with abstinence but never denie the importance of safety. Make sure your child knows that forever is a very long time to bring something home from not being safe.....
3. It is if you don't have a very prominent Higher power in your family. Your child should understand that his/her body is the ultimate gift he/she has for their spouse on their wedding night. It is such an amazing gift that no other can give it
4. Yes I think it is good to scare the hell out of them

Answer 6

i think parents and schoolls should teach kids, parents should teach safety because 9 times out of tent eh kids are going to try it regardless of what they say, i dont think abstinence is realistic for some kids because they just dont think of the consequenses,u have to tell them when teaching them everything that could happen, anything from broke condoms to stds

Answer 7
