never tell the guys not to have sex? And they never tell you what pregnancy is. It takes two people to make a baby. That is sexist. The way I see it all these sex ed classes are doing is encouraging teens to have sex and that it is ok. Why target just the girls? Why not the guys as well? Should it be taken out of schools? What are your thoughts?

No. They should teach it right. And also they need a relationship class because I wish someone wouldve told me ahead of time how these relationships are.

I believe that sex education is every child's right and that it should not be left to the parents. Boys and girls should be told exactly the same information, in fact the classes should be mixed. Education should not be restricted to just the physical aspects. The psychological and social sides, which are just as much a part of a young person's experience, should receive at least as much attention.
To be fair, I think the above is already the standard of sex education in many, if not all schools in the UK. Sex education is compulsory in UK secondary schools, though parents have the right to withdraw their children from classes. The curriculum covers physical, psycological and social aspects but information about birth control is optional (because there are a number of Catholic schools). I don't know what is taught about homosexuality and STDs but I believe that both subjects are dealt with as a matter of course.
In the US it's possible that the guidelines vary from state to state but I don't have information. The discussion seems to be 'in progress'. This is a valuable report by Henry Waxman http://www.democrats.reform.house.gov/Documents/20041201102153-50247.pdf
When I was at school, there was no thought of sex education. One had to make inferences from what little one learnt in Biology. I don't believe my parents ever broached the subject! I am glad that all my children had early and consistent sex education, though I don't think it reached all the standards above.

That is a seriously true point but its what we have to put up with in our world unfortunately. Your right sex is a two way street and should be consensual to you both at the same time neither partner should feel pressured into doing it either. Schools should put more emphasis on this subject and also tell people about STD. This is a very good question well done.

that's truly poor. I wish you weren't in this kind of capture 22 concern. yet I truly ought to admit getting pregnant develop into stupid, and that is between the failings that is going alongside with it. yet i understand it takes position or maybe with the actuality that human beings each and every so often do not are attentive to it, there is plenty worse issues that would want to ensue to you. the in elementary words challenge i'd be cliche with is that I ask you to consider adoption. i don't understand what you intend to do yet 14 isn't any age to be a mom, that's no longer honest to you or the toddler - you deserve a classic adolescence, to be with friends and homework after college no longer bouncing a touch one and attempting to make funds to feed it, and the toddler advantages moms and dads who might want to be there for all of it the time, who can grant it with each and every thing it needs AND get loved, because you would possibly want to correctly be in a position to love it, yet you won't be able to take care of both easily one of you at the same time and that isn't any longer honest to both of you. As for your class, examine with your practise counselor, possibly they could pull you out. human beings might want to be so insensitive. you do not favor that once you're lower than a lot pressure, that's no longer healthful.

The sex ed class I had in middle school did address all of those things.... It sounds like whatever class you are familiar with needs a new teacher.

I agree with all of the answers below. And, I agree with you as well. Boys should also be included in the discussion of abstinence too! Relationships of the meaningful sort, and marriage should always come before sex.

DEFINAtely dont take out of school. for most of the kids its probaly the only place they can go. half the parents dont talk to thier kids about it. my daughters 4 and i havent hid anything. i know shes younge but thats half of it. they put it on us b/c its our bodies and we need to be responsible for ourself. like we all know is your boyfriend going to be responsible for you hes not even responsible for himself.your probably right about now a days they are teaching them to have sex b/c they know we cant stop them so they teach them about protection.

If the girls don't have sex, the guys won't have anyone to have sex with.
