ok now. i agree but you got a bit carried away. yeah lets teach about sex at an earlier age, lets teach about safety, abstinence, protection, and consequences. i say let the school nurse distribute condoms but only if they sit down and have a discussion , kept confidential. but no vending machines they can visit a gas station if they choose to. also we don't need to teach about kinds of sex , man you made it sound like we should show [BLEEP] in the class room! teach about alternatives to going all the way such as kissing. thats my 2 cents.

I hate to say it but I agree with most of it. Kids now are much more sexual than in my generation. Abstinence is the best, but we can only teach our kids and hope for the best. We should provide them with the tools to stay safe, knowledge, condoms, and an open ear. If they sense at all you are uneasy they won't talk to you.

No matter how much a teacher explains it in school or teaches sex ed no matter what kind your going to have kids that are curious yes it may work for some but think of society today the odds are it will have a negative down fall because more kids are going to explore what they are taught. Not only is it that but with the way you were talking how you want the teachers to teach it's like saying let the teachers demonstrate for us too. I know when my kids go to school I don't mind the school helping me out teaching sex ed but there are just some things I want to be able to tell my kids so they know they can come to me with what they were taught or if they ever have a question about sex.

I agree with you. the majority of teens are going to have sex before 10th grade and they need to know how to be safe.

I agree with you some things should just be left to the parents I remember when my brother came home from school in elementary school with a worksheet of the female anatomy and it went in depth if a school is going to go to that much detail the parents should at least be warned. But it is not the schools job to parent the child as you were saying. I thought you proved your point better.

@Bailey, you couldn't me more wrong on the issue. Our society may be moving faster than a child can process comprehensive sex ed as you put it. In my early teens sex and girls were far from any thought I had at the time. Point is every child's brain develops at a different rate. Lets not create an environment were some will be alienated for not having the capacity to process such adult information.
