Sex Education in Public Schools

[OneTimeSBX]

my parents never had the "birds/bees" talk with me, and for the life of me i cant remember where i learned it from! mom did, however, explain my cycle to me in enough detail that i decided i didnt want to be a girl anymore...

by 8th grade, 3 of my classmates had children. by my graduation, 3 more of my close friends had children (one had THREE), and a handful walked across the stage pregnant. within the 2 years after graduation, all of my close friends had children, including myself at 19.

something in the sex ed curriculum isnt working. i applaud the teachers/nurses who do that for a living. i dont think its them. kids have changed, teenagers are soo hypersexed that they make me look chaste! they are having not only sex, but orgies in high school. they have had 3 and 4 partners by their sweet 16's.

there needs to be more videos and photos of EXACTLY what your stuff looks like with herpes. the bills that a baby runs up. what childbirth looks like and feels like with NO EPIDURAL. the results of an aborted child.

to quote George W...they need "shock and awe".

Ours was on this line - budgeting for a child while still in school, getting the baby daddy to pay support, all sorts of disease stuff, what happens inside your body when you're having sex (again, it's designed to keep the human race going, not to stop it) - much more detailed and probably more what's needed NOW than when I was in elementary/middle/high school!
