sex ed

so i thiiink this should b allowed since it is about u knwo ... .school stuff ... but Yeah if this is not safe 4 tbt then sorry ....

but yeah!! what do you think about sex ed? what was it like in your school? do you think it was good/enough/meaningful, or could it have been better? etc etc etc Yeah Just . Let's talk abt it yye?

in my school... uh.. i mean.. it was alright, kind of. i mean, we learnt about it quite a bit, even tho the information about especially lgbt+ stuff was rly bad and lacking.
i remember in 5th grade, when we were 11, the "girls" had to go with the school nurse who explained about periods and stuff. i don't think they said a lot, they basically just explained what periods were, why we got them, and how to use pads lol. also i think she brought a condom with her but ????? yy he
i don't think the "boys" got to talk abt sex in 5th grade but idk actually, haha. maybe they did.

then, in 6th grade (12 yrs old) we had the How Are Babies Made talk thing. I mean, everyone already knew, but we worked with it in biology and had to learn the names of a lot of different parts of the genitalia. on one lesson we had a substitute teacher, and she thought it was a Great Idea to talk about "HBT", as she wrote.
then she proceeded to say that being gay is when u like boys n u are a boy, being bi is liking both genders, and being trans is when u want 2 b The Other gender.
and then !!! she let people talk about how much they hated lgbt+ people, and how they would beat the **** out of people of the same gender if they flirted with them, and how they thought lgbt+ people were sick. ha ha . that was a rly crappy experience bbecause not only was it super uncomfortable as a lgbt+ person , it was also filled w misinformation n i dont rly think it's cool to let students say homophobic and transphobic **** in class but Yeah.

and then in 8th grade we had sex ed agaiiiiiin and spoke even more about The Sex, being pregnant, and a lot about STDs. we also watched some documentaries about teens who had gotten pregnant. it was p clear that the school didnt want us to go get pregnant bc those documentaries were like "my life sucks because i have a baby!"

anywaysssss as a whole, i think that the sex ed was alright. i know a lot of people have barely no sex ed, some are taught incorrect information, and some are taught judgemental values n stuff. but i still Really Think that sex ed in my school could have been better.

ay ok this was long but yea bye idk

Sex education is very flawed. Studies have shown that abstinence teaching (don't have sex or you'll die) does not work, but that's what most people are taught, that's what they're still teaching. It makes no sense.

My younger brother is in grade 6 and I've had to explain a lot to him, mostly about gender identity and sexual preference stuff. It's sad.

I remember when they taught us about periods I didn't understand where is came from, so I asked my mom; she said some stuff and rubbed her belly so I concluded that it must come from the belly button! I thought that for 2 years.

If I ever have kids I'm not letting the school teach them sex ed, I'll explain everything to them, you can't trust school these days

Yeah I guess we had pretty much the same.. I mean swedish teachers lol and we are supposed to be the country of sin... nah not nowadays. i think we had this "sex day" in high school as well where u got free condoms and "learned" about things but yeah before was just lit biology and period talk i guess.

At first, i was confused about why it was called sex ed and who will allow a class like that then i realized it wasnt sex 101 but nono 101

"sex is a DANGEROUS DISEASE if you have it you will DIE." ... yes because that will definitely stop ppl from having sex ....

it's way better to teach ways to have safe sex instead of being liek "hurr durr ... danger.... think about god and jesus. ... penis is bad ... "

yeah it's still sad to see how this and other sexuality/gender issues are not touched much upon in schools. idk how it is today though but yeah back in my days it was pretty much only basic biology stuff like out male parts in female parts blah blah period blah etc. but yeah i wish lgbtqia+ issues would have been brought up more back then.

Back when I was in school, finding a discarded porno magazine in the woods was the cutting edge of sex education. Not only did I get glimpses of breasts and vajayjays, but there was also the occasional crossword to help with my English. Along with that I also found out valuable information such as Sandy who is 23 from Edinburgh with a pair of DD's also loves puppies and lingerie but hates cold nights and scary movies, teaching me that women are people with interests as well.

These days with the rise and popularity of the internet, kids are well prepared to get into many positions and stick it in places that I had to work out through awkward fumbling and accidental poking around, not to mention much longer and fleshed out biographies for their favorite sex education teachers to show that women have a much larger scope of interests than fluffy animals.

Sex education has truly come a long way. Thank you, internet.

We didn't have it at my school, thankfully. I probably would have died from cringing so hard.

OH MY GAWD don't get me started we have this course in high school called "health" which talks about your body and how it functions but we had to do it at home, online during the summer and it was so awkward when it got to sex ed because they showed pictures of condoms and genitalia of both sexes and it was really awkward doing it home where everyone can see so yeah im glad i don't ever have to do that again

I haven't even gotten sex ed at schook yet. Probably am this year, first year of middle school

whenever we have abstinence teachings when they give us the paper at the end i write a long winded wall of text about how abstinence teaching doesnt work. you can look at as many legitimate statistics as you want, they all favor safe sex teaching over abstinence

my teachers never really mentioned any lgbt stuff thankfully, or at least not to my memory. i dont mind people hating lgbt people now, people can feel how they want, but back then i think it wouldve really upset me while i was still discovering myself.

it was just 5th grade, we got a female sex ed video, boys got a male sex ed video, we all got together and talked about what we watched (imo they shouldnt split us up in the first place) and then in 7th or 6th grade we got in class education, and every few years we got abstinence and AIDs education. its crazy, theyre fearmongering and then brainwashing you with rewards like candy and such for answering right about abstinence and then embarrassing you for answering wrong or asking any questions. seriously, they humiliated kids who questioned their Flawless Abstinence Logic

i think abstinence should be talked about as an option, but very lightly. maybe a packet about all the ways sex could be incorporated into your life, or even not at all. let kids live, theyre gonna do what they want anyways might as well make sure they do it safely

Oh god I think we only spent like 5 classes talking about it, back when I was on my 2nd year of high school, which of course is not enough. All I remember is learning what were some STDs, what were the parts of the genitals and we learned how to put condoms, using a giant penis made of wood.

We also received free condoms, but I was 13, so they got expired before I could use them, lol

I had in 7th grade, but it was abstinence-based.

my sex ed class made sex sound very boring

honestly sex ed here isn't that bad. but it's kinda like "don't have sex with strangers bc you could regret it for the rest of your life" that scares kids. they talk about all these diseases, and you shouldn't have sex unless you get yourself and your partner checked for any stds. i'm 100% most people don't even check and they go for it. i know they're trying to teach us safety and crap, but let's be real, if something is gettin' ya going, you won't stop to think about the different stds you'll get.
