Today a number of teenagers are falling prey to some wrong means to obtain information about sex,also the population of our country has been increasing tremendously due to lack of information about sex.Why is sex seen or observed as something bad by the parents when eventually each one of us has to do it some time or otherat the age of say about 16 or17 if students are informed about when and how to have sex by correct means ,how to avoid pregnancy then the children will automatically not resort to some bad means as seeing nude photos or watching movies involving sex.and after marriage then will not suffer from sexual problems.do all of you agree with it?????????

I completely agree. When I was in high school, we had sex ed classes that taught safe sex. I think it really helped cause the whole time I was in high school, I think I only knew one person who got pregnant. However my little sister who is sixteen, told me that in her sex ed classes, they barely tell the kids what sex is, and just say that if you have sex, you will always get pregnant, or get STD's or something like that. With those kinds of classes, kids have to go to some other source, in most cases ****. They see **** without condoms, and they assume that it's ok not to use a condom.

At one time almost every public school had a health class in middle school, where a six to 8 week class on sex education was part of the curriculum. It was not just about intercourse, but focused mainly on STDs , early pregnancies, health risks, and so forth. There are few schools that offer a health class now because of cuts in funding for other programs ( more and more bilingual classes, & test prep classes ). So, unless sex education is taught by parents, children discover it for themselves in all the wrong places. I have had 13 & 14 year old girls so excited because they discovered they were pregnant, but had no earthly idea how to take care of themselves or a baby.

I'm on the fence b/c I see so many sorry questions in here from teenagers (and even some grownups!!!) that lack knowledge of sex and how the human body functions. On the flip side of the coin I also don't believe that it is the teacher or schools job to teach our children about sex. But with so many parents not educating their own children b/c they are embarrassed or think NOT MY KID or just plain don't know the facts themselves, I guess school will give them the correct facts...

Sex education should be compulsory in the HOME.
Why are we putting the onus on our school systems to teach this stuff? The only way the kids are going to learn the morals of the parents is if the parents are teaching them.

Yes it should be mandatory as a freshman in high school. Maybe sooner. This would not be to encourage sexual activity, but it could teach the pitfalls and dispel the myths. Education would go a long way towards helping prevent disease, teen pregnancy and so forth.

Sexual education was mandatory when I was in school. We had to take it in 5th grade and again in Senior year, we had a few sex education classes in our health class. I think it definately helps and kids really need it. Some parents dont tell you everything and some girls dont have mothers who can give them a thorough talk about it and the same with boys with no fathers

Only if it's accurate, honest and all encompassing. Otherwise, I will exempt my child from public school sex education classes in favor of taking him or her to the doctor and educating them myself. Sex education by public schools is disgustingly inaccurate and conservatively biased in most circumstances. I remember sex ed when I was in school, not enough information was provided and a significant amount was religiously biased and inaccurate.

No because it's not helping them at all. They're still going out and having sex and making babies that they don't care for. The best way to prevent teens from having sex is to segregate the schools into same sex schools. One for girls and they are taught by women only and one for boys taught by men only.

Only from a health information stand point. What they teach today would curl your hair and is unecessary. It has crossed the boundaries of the parents. And that is unConstitutional!
