my mom is an ob-gyn so my sisters and I were taught sex-ed and birth control use at an early age. I also went to an all-girls catholic high school where I was also taught sex ed and use of contreceptives - this actually surprised me with the catholic church and all, but it was a 'feminist' school where they taught women to have ultimate control of their bodies and their lives.

I think it should be taught in schools. if theyre learning it at home, great, its supplemental information. if theyre not being taught safe sex at home, this is their chance to learn and possibly save themselves from teenage pregnancy or an std. regardless, if the parents aren't teaching it - the education system will.
