only girls had sexual education. were boys discriminated?

Question

only girls had sexual education, so then boys complained. I think the teachers thought that 'they are too immature to listen'. now I wonder how many of those boys made a girl pregnant or got STD. its not a poor country where I live and not rich like USA. but here is a big lack of sexual education. except there's a lot of awairness about STD. everyone knows what AIDS is, but I can see that teenagers are quite ignorant about sexuality.

I really think that teachers thought 'oh well, boys watch videos all the time, so they dont need sex ed.'

I'm gonna mail to the principal and tell everything what I have to say. even if boys were complete immautre idiots, they were still angels. they are nice people today. and I think that many boys felt discriminated. its okay that girls and boys would be in separated classes during sex ed, but not having sex ed is really awful.

elementary school, 13,14 years old teenagers.

boys and girls are usually separated because they can tease each other or feel every embarrassed.

Answer 1

I don't know WHERE you are going to school - but I have NEVER heard of them only teaching the girls sex ed...

The NORMAL practice is to split the students up - boys go into one room, girls into another - and teach them sex ed at the SAME TIME!

I understand that they teach things differently to each gender - but to NOT teach half the students is just WRONG!!!!!

Answer 2

I have a 14 year old daughter, and last year at school, her age group had what I guess you could call "sex education." Boys and girls were "educated" separately, so I admit I do not know what the boys were taught. If they are taught the same things, I don't know why the teachers separated the boys from the girls. It just created suspicion amongst the teens as to "what the others" are "learning." I wonder if it would be better to combine the education given to both genders and have the class be combined as well? I think that it might be beneficial for boys to be taught the same things girls are taught, and vice-versa. It might lead both genders to a better understanding of each other. Truthfully, I can't think of an instance where girls got "sex education" and boys didn't. It wasn't even like that when I was that age, and that was 25 years ago. (I live in the U.S.) If there is discrimination where you live, I think it's great that you are doing something about it!

Answer 3

Being for women isn't the comparable ingredient as being against boys. Oprah does somewhat some charity paintings. She probably felt that the ladies mandatory slightly greater help because of the fact the boys have been doing ok. as nicely, in case you do no longer like it you should continuously visit South Africa and construct a $40 million college for boys to make up for Oprah's evil attitude in direction of's boys.

Answer 4

To another poster: There is no anti-boy discrimination in schools. What's happening is that boys don't take their studies as seriously as the girls because they know they can still have relatively high paying jobs to fall back on when they graduate. If a girl doesn't get a good education, her options are more limited. She can only expect to get a job in a fast food place, convenience store, or a dead-end pink collar job. Also, it should be mentioned that many parents don't take education for their sons as seriously because they think the boys will become the next Tiger Woods or some other top athlete. Instead of having them study and do their homework, the boys are usually playing sports. How are the boys going to do well in school if their parents don't care? How are they going to do well in college if their parents only care that they get athletic scholarships and it doesn't matter to them if the boys don't finish as long as they can join a professional team and get endorsement deals? It's precisely this attitude that is holding boys back in school. Many parents today don't value education for boys nearly as much as they did in the past.

Answer 5

That does sound an awful lot like discrimination. Sex-ed is something everybody needs if they plan on ever having it. When I was in school, the boys learned it, and we were in separate classes for only one year, if I remember correctly.

Answer 6

Perhaps the teachers should get informed on who the heck they are teaching. Are you talking about kindergarten? Because then all of the students are too immature.

If these are teenagers, then they should all be getting sex ed.

Answer 7

great you are speaking up. i think sex ed is good for both sexes and they need to learn together in order to understand each other more. Most kids inmy middle school when i was young did not even care about that class so it is good you are so interested.

Answer 8

That's funny. When I was in high school, many centuries ago, it was the other way around. The girls complained, but we were told the boys needed the education.

Answer 9

I'm glad you are speaking up and writing your principal. Both girls and boys need to be educated and bear equal responsibility in case of a sexual encounter.

More power to you and outspoken students like yourself.

Answer 10

The anti-boy discrimination in education runs WAY deeper than this. All the way to insisting that girls get shortchanged, despite their having far more favorable educational outcomes, and to devising arcane reasonings to "back it up".
