Answer 1

sex education is taught at schools, but parents need to be involved as well in order to develop goos communication with their children about these important, yet sensitive issues, if parents dont feel they 'know' enough, reading a book or watching a video and then discussing can be helpful

Answer 2

Well Me As A Teen Is Embarssing To Talk About Sex In Front Of My Parents And Teachers. I'm Most Comfertable With Friends To Discuss With.Parents Might Know And Have Tips Of What Their Parents Know But They Don't Know Alot Of The Things That's Up To Date, So Sex Education With A Teacher Who Studies It More Might Know More.Just Parents Have An Easy Way Of Explaining It Htan A Teacher Who Would Go Into All The Parts And Details Which Not Alot Of Teens Would Listen To. So If It's A Choice Between Parents And Teachers.It's Parents

Parents should be discussing LIFE in general with their children from the time their children are very young. When my daughter was a toddler she was fasinated with a book I had called "The Joy of Birth" She would point at the photos and ask me what they were and I would answer her HONESTLY.
One of the main reasons there are so many teen pregnancies today is that teens rely on the information that their peers give them which is more often than not very WRONG information. Yes kids do have sex education in schools however they don't beleive what they are taught in the classroom, especially when their peers who CLAIM to be experts tell them different than what they learn in the classroom. Kids tend to trust their own kind. So it is very important for parents to open the lines of communication with their children at very young ages and to KEEP them open throughout their children's growth and development. Neither of my parents was big on communication, my mother was a manic depressive prude and my father was a womanizing alcoholic so nobody talked in our home.

The parents of a teenager can't know less than he/she does.They don't have to be experts in it to try to explain to their child the basics.Actually, if they fail in this discussion, their children may never ask them anything else, so they should not give up at once.You don't have to be a traffic regulating police officer to explain to you child where to cross the road.If the child asks or starts this, it means he/she is comfortable with the parents, but sadly it's not very often, but I'm sure parents should encourage their children to discuss topics like this.They can advise them later to go and consult sex health doctor and prepare them that it is as normal as a visit to a dentist.How much knowledge you've got to have to explain what sex is if you have delivered a baby?It's only a question of making teenagers to be as comfortable about this topic as possible and then give them literature or sign them in to some courses

Answer 5

I want my kids to learn about sex ed from us, not some kid at school. There are plenty of books on the subject (easily obtainable), Any parent should know enough to explain it to their own child, after all how do you think they became parents?Lastly a parent who is uncomfortable with the subject, ex; a single dad with a little girl can ALWAYS approach the childs doctor for help with the discussion.

Answer 6

I plan on discussing sex education with my daughter. I think something as serious as that should be handled at home by the parents. My mother taught me and I was very well informed about everything.

Answer 7

It is the parents' responsibility to educate their kids regarding sex. If your parents are ignorant for the most part and shy, than do your own research and ask your school counselor, teacher, aunt, grandma (someone close to you). Make sure you are selective and do your own research. Presently there is so much information available to everyone that shy and ignorant parents is not the issue any more.

Answer 8

I went to a catholic school so sex education was discussed very briefly. We were not taught about contreception. I got pregnant as a teen probably because i was not taught about the emotional side of sex. When my daughter grows up i will teach her myself about contreception, having sex at a young age and emotions she will go through as i can simply not depend on just school sex education. Hope This Helps You!.x

Answer 9

The best source of sex info is from your parents or Doctors. Your parents obviously have had sex and likely have been having sex for a very long time. WHy wouldn't they be a good source for sexual education. In addition to that, your parents have your best interests at heart.

Answer 10

Parents should be the ones to talk about sex education because well it is not like you want your parents to talk about it... mostly you are like mom or dad just shut up so I can watch my tv but once they talk about it to you you are greatful...eventually...that it wasn't some random guestspeaker or loud weird teacher with a fake smile, and talks about things that might not apply to your child like sexual disease that wouldn't spread teachers didn't tell you how to have sex...which is very disturbing to hear from a stranger.
