At my school, girls started taking sex ed in the 4th grade and the boys didn't start until 5th grade. Our "sex ed" class in 4th grade consisted of menstruation and touched a little on sex to explain why women menstruate. In 5Th grade(boys and girls separate) it got a little more detailed, and then in 7th and 8th grade(co-ed) we took sex ed where they sat us down and explained everything and went into detail on STD's and such. They passed out condoms and talked about birth control, etc.

My children began sex ed so to speak when they were 2-3 years old and first able to ask "Where do babies come from?" I gave honest age appropriate answers and built on that over the years... My children are now 19, 17 and 9 the older two know everything about sex pregnancy birth control, disease prevention and such while the youngest is still learning as her age and the questions progress... By age 12 she will know all I can teach her and we will find information regarding questions she has I can't answer if necessary...
In the community we live in sex ducation in schools starts at 4th grade (age 10-11) with the division into sexes and the film "This Is Your Body" a very uninformative film made in the late 50's early 60's... Then abstinance is taught rather than birthcontrol and disease prevention education... The last classes in sex ed occur during the freshmen year of high school age 14-15... The teenage pregnancy rate in our town is 33.4% which is astoundingly higher than the national average.. It's not difficult to see why, as teens are not being given the information needed to prevnt pregnancy and disease... But alas it's the "Ostrich Syndrome" I will stick my head in the sand and the problem will go away , is working in full force as well as it usually works...

My parents told me "babies come from sex, even once can get you pregnant so don't have sex" They never told me what sex was though. My mother has the attitude that women are not to enjoy sex and only do it because a man says he loves her. She said "even if he says he loves you". That was sex ed. She pulled me out of sex education classes in grade school. I'm also Canadian. Then she put me in private Christian school (not catholic school!) where I recieved abstinence only education throughout high school and more of the attitude that women don't enjoy sex and never feel sexual, boys are perverts and tell lies to get girls into bed. Then we heard horror stories about sti's and were never even told that many sti's had cures! We were never told about condoms or any sort of contraception except that condoms fail and the pill is a ploy from lesbians and feminist baby killers. We were also given horror stories about abortion and told a lot of down right lies. We were also told that the emotional effects of sex (on girls not men) were so devastating that we may as well commit suicide before having sex. I knew it was BS at the time but, I didn't realise how bad it was until I started to search out my own resources and educate myself about sex. Luckily, I wasn't sexually active as a teen. It wasn't because of the 'education' but, because of lack of opportunity.

sex ed was nothing of the sort. i got my sex ed in the back of a bush, but the curricular version musta started for me (i'm in england by the way) in year 5, i don't know how that corresponds 2 america.
I don't think africa have the same brand of sex ed that western world has. even the talk about diseases & prevention is pretty localised & shabby for those who're really concerned.

I never took it. Go figure, maybe I was sick that day... my parents had "the talk" when I was 9 or 10 though.
