Contraception And Sex Education
Posted: 04-21-06 17:16pm

How can it be possible for so many teens
to be posting her with what are, quite
frankly, mindbogglingly stupid questions
regarding sex and contraception? Or,
rather, the lack of contraception.
Do parents not discuss sex and
contraception with their kids? Is it
true that schools in the us can't teach
anything other than abstinence? Which
really works. (rolling eyes so hard they
hurt) how come kids can manage to post on
here but they can't google for planned
parenthood (us) or the family planning
association (uk) ?
How hard can it be to understand that if
you insert a penis into a vagina (or other
orifice) without adequate protection then
you risk pregnancy and/or an std?
People with kids, what will you tell them?
And at what age?

babies come from.
They are miracles from .God.

i wasnt aware that if somebody stuck a

pregnant.
Man, I better be careful from now on. I
dont want any ear
babies. |
if you have oral sex you can get stds in
your mouth. Or even in your anus. I'm
pretty sure those were the orafices .God
spoke of. If you think about it, there
are a multitude of assinine questions here
regarding lack of knowledge of pregnancy,
contraception and stds.

hmm, could stds be transmitted through the
ear? I'm not entirely sure, but I imagine
it's possible if there is broken skin.
Otherwise, yes, I meant the anus or the
mouth.
I wouldn't fancy a penis in my ear though,
i've seen what problems can be caused when
a tiny little false nail gets stuck in
there... ;)

If the penis is small enough to fit into
my ear canal, getting pregnant is the
least of my worries.
I agree with .God, though.

lmao hahahahahahahaha
ya so do I (agree with god) I learned all
about this stuff at an early age and will
make sure my son and future children have
all their questions answered and more if
need be. I do not want to be a grandma
at 40 or have my child come home to tell
me he has an std or something.

My boys are in third grade and have known
where babies come from since right before
second grade, when I was pregnant with
their sister. I haven't told them the
specifics about sex, but I remember
learning everything when I was in 3rd
grade. I learned it at recess when the
other girls told me. I'd imagine that
things have gone forward rather than
backward in that respect.

Apparently not shuna. Hey god, in the us
they do teach sex ed. And abstinence is
not the only thing they teach. At least
not here in pa. They give you all the
dirty deets at around 10-11 years old.
The boys and girls get separate classes
and you learn about menstruation and all
that good stuff. Apparently these are
the kids whose mommies wrote the teachers
a note saying that their "precious widdle
babies" weren't allowed to listen to that
filth. As far as them not googling it, I
can't understand that either...

It's Not Just Where Babies Come From -

I think young people are pretty much aware
that intercourse can result in stds or
pregnancy, the schools have done that
much, but they seem woefully ignorant of
how their bodies work, how to take care of
themselves and how to protect their
health. We need to give out some sort of
owner's manual to every kid when they
enter puberty. The "talk" in 6th grade
just isn't enough, it should be an ongoing
thing.
Contraception is free if you know where to
get it (schools here have condoms in the
nurses office starting in middle school,
or you can go to planned parenthood) , but
actually using it on a regular basis?
Teens still need to be constantly reminded
to feed the dog or do their homework,
who's going to be there over their
shoulder telling them to put that condom
on or take that pill?
I also worry about the emotional
well-being of young people who are so
starved for love and attention that they
pursue serious relationships before
they're even out of their teens, and think
that having babies before they're even
grown themselves is somehow ok. Maybe
they feel that there really isn't anything
else out there for them? I don't know.
Learning about sexuality can't just stop
with the physical aspects, there is a
whole emotional and psychological
component that seems to be missing - it's
hard to teach this, and parents aren't
doing a very good job of providing a good
example. Throw in some popular culture
and no wonder everyone's confused!
I've been a female for 42 years, and was
lucky enough to have a mom who left
medical texts and books like "our bodies,
ourselves" lying around the house, so
there never seems to be a time that I
wasn't aware of what was going on inside
me. I just don't think this is true of
kids today.
I came here via a link from
somethingawful, and while I realize this
is a limited cross-section of people, i'm
just as appalled as god is at the lack of
knowledge out there.
(fwiw, I have three sons - 16, 13, and 8)

It is ongoing. It's not just one talk.
You get a more in-depth course each year.
You get to watch videos, play with little
models of the reproductive systems for
both sexes...The kicker for me was the
birth video. For years I swore I would
never have children. The boys even
stopped trying to get in our pants for a
while. Plus we all got to spend a fun
month with baby think-it-over for the part
of the course on child development (which
was part of the health class) i'll tell
you that d@mn doll would make anyone want
to volunteer for a hysterectomy...

You have to face it some parents dont want
there children knowing about sex until
they are quote on quote " old enough " and
alot of girls who post on here asking the
dumb questions are under 15. When I was
in school alot of parents did not let
their children take sex education classes
and did not want them talking about it.
They didnt find it sutible for a child to
talk about sex like that, not knowing that
the kids would experiment or maybe just
trying to think that their kids wouldn't
do that. I knew what sex was what it
could do and all the pros and cons about
sexual intimacy by the time I was 11. I
took all the sex education classes that
were avalible at my school and I talked
openly with my mother and my older sister
( she is 10 yrs older then me ).

Lol @ ear babies.
My little sister thinks that babies
'hatch' out. But then again she is only
4 years old and it's a little early for
her to understand.
