I may sound like a little wimpy kid saying this. I have already learned about their "part" last year in 7th grade. They have learned mine, too. But after that, I don't want to learn anything else in Sex Ed of any kind!
It makes me feel extremely embarrassed to know that in the future they are going to make me watch somebody else have sex. It's also humiliating to know that we are different from the boys and we have more than they do. The boys talk about it at school and it's embarrassing!
Plus I just realized that they will make me combine classes with the boys next year so they can learn about our GENITAL AREA!!!!! I don't want to do that EVER!
I wish they would just get rid of Sex Ed. It is practically telling people that is okay to have sex before marriage!

Oh, it is not telling people that it's okay to have sex before marriage. It is telling people about sex, which we do need to learn, and, if it's a decent program at all, how to do it safely. An honest approach to sex ed that includes a discussion of birth control cuts down on teen pregnancy and STD rates.
I doubt highly that they will make you watch anyone having sex. If they do, you have an even more liberal sex ed program than I got, and they brought in a lady from Planned Parenthood and another from a college Pink Triangle society to talk to us. They may show you animals having sex, but it's nothing you couldn't catch on the Discovery Channel.
You don't actually have anything "more" than the guys, and I'm not sure why you find the differences humiliating. It's just how the human body is made. In fact, all boys start out as girls, and all their parts correspond to girl bits. For instance, the head of the penis = the clitoris. The testes = the ovaries.
I know all of this is scary and embarrassing when you're 14, but you need to take a deep breath. It's just a body. Yeah, probably everyone in your class will be tittery and childish, but that's because they're just as nervous as you are. Don't worry about it, breath deeply, and maybe you'll be lucky and have a bio teacher as boring as mine was. It took me three weeks to wake up enough to realize we were in the human sexuality section.

Call someone on the Kansas State School Board. They'll have your teachers crucified.
In all seriousness:
1. No one is going to 'make you have sex'. You could always join a convent. Also, some people go through their entire lives without having sex once. It's fairly uncommon, but it happens. Moreso, I'm sure they won't tell you that it is ok to have sex before marriage. No responsible adult will condone that behavior. If someone has sex before marriage, that is their choice. The fact of the matter is kids are going to have sex before marriage and there's nothing anyone can do about it, so the best thing to do is to say "You should be abstaining from sex, but we know you're not going to, so here's how to be safe."
2. Print out this question and put it in a safe place. Look at it again when you're a senior in high school. I guarentee you're going to laugh.

Good thing everyone does not think like you do or the human race would have died out.
The more you know, the more you are able to make an informed decision. You may not think it now when you are in 8th grade, but some day you may want to be intimate with a guy. They get less yucky as you all get older. And if you know what's going on, it will be better.
It is not humiliating to know about differences between men and women. That's what makes life interesting.
I find it difficult to believe that your school is going to make you watch people having sex.

The saying goes that knowledge is power. Sex ed does not encourage young people to have sex, contrary to popular belief. If you know the biology and how it works, you are actually less likely to experiment and end up with a pregnancy or a disease that could have been prevented. Knowing about your body should not be a humiliation. Don't pay attention to anything the boys talk about. It's only their hormones talking and their brains don't mature as fast as their bodies do.
You cannot be "forced" to watch a sexual video, if that's what you are implying. If you disagree with the teaching methods, be mature about it and inform the instructor that you don't think it's necessary.

Sounds like you do have a lot of growing up to do. Its all a part of life, and I do agree with you that schools DO promote pre-marital sex, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. It is good to learn about STD's,. and pregnancy and the miracle of how a child is concieved. When I was in high school I didn't pay much attention, but now being 21, I am so intrigued to learn about the body and how it really works. And I don't think that they will have you watch someone having sex, infact I am certian they wont. You may have to look at pictures, but come on, try to be adult about it. Its life.

Lighten up !!!!! You are way too uptight, there is no need to be embarrassed about the human body. But it is probably your parents sexually oppressed issues that have been passed down to you. Genital areas are not "dirty" unless you forget to wash.
Did you ever think that your peers may feel the same uneasiness as you do? In sex ed you will learn about the genital area of both sexes, It is not like it's a picture of your vagina being displayed in front of your class.
Sex education is a good thing if done appropriately.

Oh my GOD!! I am a parent and i am disgusted that this is happenning. My children are young, so i didn't know that Sex Ed has gotten this expicit. You should talk to your parents and see if there is anything they can do to get you out of this. i'm sure if you feel uncomfortable about this that there are other girls that feel the same way. If you feel that these classes and premarital sex are wrong, stand up for what you believe in.

Nobody's going to make you watch anybody have sex. I doubt that they mix genders so you can talk about each other's genitals.
Speak to your parents or school counselor about your embarrassment regarding sex ed.
This is information you need to know. However, you may be able to adjust how you learn the information.

The more you learn the better off you are. That is a key thing in ALL of life. The better educated you are the better decisions you will make in life.
And in fact they will NOT be showing porn at sex ed class.
You will learn all about the most nasty, funky disgusting diseases known to man and it will most likely make you not want to have sex even more than now.

They can't actually make you watch sex, you are a minor, that is illegal. Its part of growing up and I think it's healthy and wise to learn about the female and male body. You are just worried, I would talk with your mother or another older female you trust...they had to go thru it to, I'm sure they'll understand.
