My sister is 22 and has a 1 an a half year old and is soon to be married we think these days kids are not getting enough sex ed young girls are getting pregnant and mostly because they no nothing about what they are doing we would love to know what you think these kids should know and if you are a teen what would you like to know
thank you

thank you all so much you have very helpful ideas

Answer 1

hey you're so right!
i bet if you made the argument that no matter what they do, the schools can't keep some kids from having sex, then you could teach them about safe sex.

if play your cards right, you could be famous.

Answer 2

How much is "enough"? I think the basic "tab a + slot b = baby" should be plenty.

When you start teaching kids about birth control, to them that's an indicator that you *expect* them to go out and do it. And no birth control is ever 100% effective, even when used correctly. It's like jumping off a building and into a net that has a hole in it--the more times you jump, the more likely you will fall through that hole! The best thing is not to jump in the first place!

Kids should be encouraged to save it for marriage, because it'll save a LOT of headaches later on!

I knew the basics by the time I was in kindergarten and my mother told me it was something husbands and wives did. And you know what? I wound up saving it for marriage!

Answer 3

I think it's a fantastic idea!
I live in Victoria, Australia and kids here are taught Sex Ed in Grade 5 & 6.
You asked what a teen would like to know? I've read alot of questions on here about whether you can get pregnant from giving a head job? Please help educate these girl and tell them, if they don't know the answer then they shouldn't be doing it!

Answer 4

I agree that schools should have sex ed and most already do.I am a doctor so I know how annoying it is that people could actually be eduacated about this and schools aren't taking the next step to preventing underage pregnancy.Most people have sex under peer pressure and that's even worse(being forced to do it).If you guys are approved to teach sex-ed classes i'd be more then happy to sponser you and your sis as well as teach classes myself.I am not a teen but i have a daughter who is.My daughter said that most people in her school have had sex.SHe says that happened from drinking.I think high schools should be made smaller numbers for more supervision.You should also talk about what sex actually IS.I also think kids arne't geting eduacated on what sex is.Good Luck and email me to brainstorm more ideas.

Answer 5

It's so upsetting to watch girls become pregnant so young, and boys becoming fathers. It's extremely sad that these kids don't realize they're throwing their lives away before they've barely begun them.

I think you should mention that many teenage girls who become pregnant do not earn their high school diplomas, which affects their futures greatly. You should also mention the diseases and the EFFECTS these diseases have on you and those around you. You should mention that although you are physically ready for sex/having children, you may not be mentally ready. I have yet to meet a teen girl who I think is capable of taking care of a baby.

Hope this helped!

Answer 6

what a great idea! in my area, there is no more sex ed in the schools that i'm aware of. i talk with my kids about it (ages 9,12,15) as much as needed, but i would love for the schools to give more info than i have. i was a teenage mom pregnant at 16 had him at 17. someone replied that by giving them birth control its an expectation to do it! LMAO yes, lets get our heads out of the sand, teens will have sex, lets not go against nature by saying they can't do it, lets give them means to protect themselves. oh, and as for the poster who said harvard bound girls aren't the ones pregnant, if i hadn't gotten pregnant at such a young age, i could have done anything i wanted. i had the grades and the brains for harvard but a boy got me drunk and "forgot" to pull out, so who's to blame? they guy is! AND the girl is. so yes, sex ed is a great thing!

Answer 7

I think that sex-ed should be brought up to younger kids. I think the earlier they start to learn, the better understanding they could have.

I think having a demonstration with your own child could be beneficial (for example: you could video tape a day in your shoes. Show what you go through daily, i.e. changing diapers, feeding, getting no sleep, etc.) This could be a good example to teens that it is hard caring for a baby.

One more suggestion: my friend did a high school project where she made "business cards" with names and phone numbers of places like Planned Parenthood and Choice, etc. She passed them out to students to let them know that there are places out there with information.

Answer 8

sounds like a great idea, it's downright scary what people ask on here - birth control is an obvious topic, but also be sure to bring up all the myths, the whole pulling out and rhythm method stuff, y'know.
They should also be given some sort of handout with websites and phone numbers where they can look things up, or ask about things in private.
It's been a while since I took it in school, but I hope this helps a little!
Good luck, it's a great thing to do!

Answer 9

I think that is awesome of you that you and your sister want to do that for some girls that is all the education they get is a school some parents would rather try to hide the world from their kids then let them know at the approiate age about those things.

Answer 10

I commend you on your effort but if you want to help The crisis pregnancy center is allows looking for volunteers. There are many scared teenagers women and men that come in to find out if they are pregnant. The pregnancy center helps them make choices,find appropriate centers like maternity clothes, baby stuff, food stamps and so forth. They will also counsel people who are devastated about the pregnancy and help them make the right choice. They also deal with post abortion women. It is sad really. It hurts. Try looking into something like that. You have experience. You and your sister both had a baby. Good luck on your endeavors.
