why should organization be the 1st to teach the children/teens about Sex education?

Question

i'm asked to defend that organization should be the one to teach Sex education"..

Answer 1

Organizations should not be the only ones to teach children about sex. There seems to be a major problem with parents educating their children nowadays in any subject. It's even more of a problem when it comes to educating children about sex. Instead of teaching them, parents choose to let someone else mold their childs thoughts so they can spare themselves from 5 minutes of awkwardness. A parent should be a parent and help educate and mold their child instead of only letting a school do it.

Answer 2

That's difficult to defend, because parents should do it.
However, you can make the point that parents often don't do it, or if they do, it's much too late and their kids have already picked up all the misinformation they need.
Organizations can give unbiased information, without the overload of religious beliefs.

By the way, what do you mean by 'organization'? Are you talking about schools or some other group?
Whether it is schools or an outside agency, they can require that the people who interact with the children are well informed on the topic and sadly, many parents are not.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you mean by organization, but I'd definitely say that some parents DO NOT educate their children about sex properly. They do not give them the facts, or they don't teach them anything at all. I remember my cousins thought babies came from a stork all the way until they were 13 or so and I told them how it really happens. It is a public health issue for teenagers to be properly educated and informed on sex, and that is why it is in the government or public's interest. I'm sorry if some parent wants to be in denial about their child's sexual activity and keep their child in the dark about sex, but without knowledge how can that child protect him/herself from the dangers of sex?

I saw a lady speak about how she'd never learned what sex was because her family was so religious and so was her school, and she learned something from her friends that was entirely wrong, and before she knew it, at 15 she was pregnant with her boyfriend's baby. Then she had the baby, and eventually her husband and baby died in some accident. Later on in her life she slept with some man whom she was in love with now, and she'd never known about condoms or was taught that they were wrong, and she ended up with HIV/AIDS. Anyway, she came to my Human Sexuality class to stress why education is so necessary, and so now I've passed on her story to you. Basically, that is what can happen, if we leave it up to parents to educate their children... and yes it's a free country and should be the parent's choice, but when you are trying to erradicate a disease like HIV, and problems like teen pregnancy, it is necessary for ALL of the sexually active or pre-sexually active members of society to be fully informed.

Answer 4

"Most programs, .... cover the following topics:
the distinction between good, bad, & questionable touching; 42
the rights of children to control who touches their bodies and where they are touched;
the importance of the child's telling a responsible adult if someone inappro-priately touches the child, even if the child was told not to reveal the incident;
assertiveness skills, ranging from repeatedly saying "no" to the use of self-defense techniques (for example, yelling, kicking, fighting back); "

SECOND, Whose responsiblity is it to teach personal safety / sexual abuse prevention, and who should be teaching the informa-tion to our youth; The FBI, Juvenile Justice Department, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and a vast number of national and international community based youth organizations all agree that the responsibility for promoting and teaching personal safety to youth of all ages, lies with parents, civic, youth based, faith based and the educational communities.

THIRD, Should personal safety education be on-going curriculum,
once-a-year assemblies, after school programs, or should it also include other forums, such as community and religious youth groups, day care facilities, etc.?
"For years we have known that 30-minute "stranger danger" programs presented once a year are not adequate educational material proposed for use by schools and organizations that serve children should ... have multiple program components that are repeated several years in a row.

Answer 5

First off I don't think they should, but you could use the fact that not all parents will teach there kids. Also, try as they might parents don't always have the answers, they can't explain the effects of aids or show what happens during an abortion. They don't have the resources to show how teen pregnancy effects more than just them.

Answer 6

It is like a parent teaching a child how to drive a car. Many bad or erroneous habits creep in.

You need a disinterested third party to educate.

Many parents feel uncomfortable talking aobut sexual matters.
Many will deal in fictions and myths and impart improper or incomplete information.

An informed person can make informed decisions.

Answer 7

The organization should teach parents how to talk to their children first. Sex is natural and should be taught like potty training. We need to stop thinking that it is something dirty and then the learning can begin.

Answer 8

you're incorrect. intercourse never will become uninteresting even at 60 plus, and it continually thrills. in keeping with possibility there's a help interior the frequency, besides the undeniable fact that it keeps to be the comparable because it became interior the initiating. i don't be responsive to the way it is going to become interesting after seeing others. in spite of everything, it is all interior the recommendations.

Answer 9

I started talking to my children at about age 5. Nothing graphic, of course, just the basics. "Daddy has the seed, Mommy has the egg" You can't wait until they reach 5th or 6th grade. It is way too late by then. Children are becoming sexually active at younger ages. They are exposed to so much, tv, movies, advertising, etc. Talking about the biological aspects, and the responsibilities will make them more aware of what's going on around them, and help them to make responsible choices.
