SEX ED!!!! YEA RIGHT!!!!!

Sex Ed., please! I thought it was pointless for teachers, back in the day, to talk about sex. However, my family was very open about sex. Never made it feel like an uncomfortable issue. I learned a lot at a very young age, do's, don'ts, pros, and cons. Yea, nothing was kept secret. Then not only was my family open, I had ran into a nightmare as a young child, that lasted for over a year, and I had to learn the hard way, even more, about a man that I should have at such a young age. My friends was always coming to me for info on things bc they knew how open things were. And I had no problem tellling them what I knew. Keep in mind we were much older then elementary children when they started asking questions. If I don't know about something I have no problem asking some of my peers if they know but not very often does that sort of thing happen. Like Tasha said in a previous post, she had her first adult store expirence with me. Like some of my other friends. I told her what I knew and what I didn't. In school, they teachers talked about not having sex and saving yourself until marriage. Uh, honestly, practice what you preach, but thats besides the point. I think maybe once I heard that word condom and a few times birth control and yes STD's. What was talked about just wasn't enough. I can't begin to tell ya how many ppl got pregnate in school amoung other things. Also rumors of ppl having STD's. WTF. I don't think that parents should let the school systems take control of you childrens education. As a parent you are supposed to protect your child and help them through out lifes course. If something happens to your child, prego or STD's or what have you, then parents need not to blame teachers, you need to blame yourself for not letting you balls drop and not growing up your damn selfs. I thank GOD everyday that I grow up in the family I did. My family took responsibility for their own and never once made it a teachers responsibility to teach us something, like sex, that couldn't be taught at home. If you need someone else to teach you children about personal topics or about life in general, then you need to wait to become a parent. Children look up to you to help them grow and learn and to keep them safe. Acting like certain issues don't exsist, you are neglecting all 3 amoung other things. As for the teachers that are reading this. Do as you need to do bc in a lot of cases you are the only one keepin kids in the know. Just please show all sides and not just the side you want them to see. Curiousity killed the cat!!!!!
