Should the sex education make mandatory from the school level?

Question

As we know that due to the less knowledge about sex most of teen agers commit such type of mistakes, which consequences may for his/her entire life. So I think that the sex education should make mandatory from the school level & it will also helpful to stop the growth of several illness due to the unsafe sex.

Answer 1

Education will not stop people from acting stupid.

Answer 2

As u said that due to lack ok of sex knowledge most of the teenagers commit such mistakes but in my opinion " SEX is part of life and not life " so u get quater part of sex education in the higher level of ur education but teenagers must go through all the
books or online to get the points they need to cover in there manner

Answer 3

I agree. There are so many misconceptions about sex that people have (like it's better to use 2 condoms, or that the pill will prevent stds, or that you can't get pregnant from only doing it once) that people must be educated. It is not good to let people pick their answers up from the media, and often parents do not teach their children.

It is important to stop being afraid to talk about sex in a non-crude way... it's ok to say penis and vagina and masturbation in schools! How else are people going to learn the facts if nobody ever teaches them? There is nothing inherently offensive about teaching the natural functions of the human body and the consequences (good and bad) and options that coorespond with it.

Answer 4

while i agree that sex education should start very early in life, i am afraid that it should be taught in the home.

afraid, because i think that some parents will be slack in their responsibility.

some of them will do it because that is the way they grew up. kind of the hear no evil theory. if they never speak of it then their kids will never do anything.

some were taught that sex was dirty. so even after they get married they have to overcome that obstacle.

some may have been wild in their younger days sexing up everyone in sight.

there are many more situations which may prevent them from teaching sex education to their children. unfortunately if they don't start soon enough in life, then someone else will teach them their version. and there are some strange versions out there.

Answer 5

Yes I do... Real sex ed. When I was younger they taught me the plumbing not about STDs, pregnancy ect. I also think they should have condoms available, at the nurses office and the teen has to ask for them. I also think that parents should be more involved. This won't stamp out teen pregnancy but I think it would make a dent

Answer 6

educating is nothing but creating awareness of the subject. If it is tought in the classrooms, no one will feel hesitated to discuss/think/share to clear the misconceptions. It gives a mass appeal as it will be for open discussion/interaction which avoids unwanted things to happen. Specific knowledge about specific issues keeps the person very clear in his/her deeds. It definitely creates a sense of responsibility towards fellow-beings in the society, at large. Outcome of half-baked knowledge has always proved dangerous to the society.

Answer 7

I think so, but what I don't agree with was things like teaching kids how to put condoms on. It they know how to read, they can figure that out on their own. I know a school who brought in "Mr Woody's" to a grade 6 class to teacher them about condoms. I think more education about what sex is, what it isn't, the risks and the rewards and all that fun stuff.

Answer 8

Yes we learned it in 5th grade. The girls were separated from the boys during the learning period. I think it helps to understand your body and what's going on. If you have no idea it is easy for strangers, family or friends to manipulate you into doing things you shouldn't be doing.

Answer 9

One thing is for sure, everyone has a sex life. Then why not educate everyone about it. Sex education must be compulsory at school leve.

Answer 10

Yes but level need to be very carefully identified
