How important of sex education for teenager ?

After age 15 all children should get sex ed.

 

i think children learn all the things themselves in today's world..........no no need of sex education

 

Education or knowledge will never spoil ,rather it protect from bad moves. I think teens should have given proper sex education to improve their awareness.

 

I think sex education for teenagers must be compalsory..i agree world is advanced now.but if proper education/guidance is provided teenagers will avoid the mistakes about which they may be unknown

 

It's very important, in my opinion, while many others might disagree. In comparison safe sex is as important as educating a teenager on drugs & alcohol. Why ruin a teenager's life by not telling them the right thing to do?

 

I believe that kids should know about sex, its mechanics, and its consequences from say... 12 years old or so because that is about the age someone is physically capable of having kids in the first place. Saying it will ruin their lives is a lot of crap. The consequences of not knowing about sex far, far, far outweigh the number of consequences that come with it, let me list the consequences of knowing.

Okay I can't think of any, but it's important for them to know the facts and not go on by myths, hearsay, and outright lies. Parents that aren't prepared to talk openly about sex and sexual health should join a nunnery and remain chaste for the sake of the future.

 

yeah.it is important for the teenages so sex education should be given to them

 

Teenagers must be taught life itself in all its aspects
only then they'll be able to take decisions and make conclusions before they do something wrong

 

Sex education is necessary for teenagers and it should be given to them but when they become 15 years old and they should also be taught that safe sex is necessary to prevent from unnecessary consequences.

 

No need to educate a teenager. But if they have question then answer about anything. Otherwise they just go on the internet.

 

You must tell the disadvatages of doing sex to teenager in the small age.

 

I think whether or not schools teach sex ed, parents should definitely speak to their children about it. Possibly before they become a full fledged teen, to lessen the awkwardness of it (which may still be a little difficult either way). More so, we should stop associating such "negativity" (for a lack of better word) with the subject. I'm not saying go out and tell your kids to have sex, but I think some of the sex related issues teens face come from "scaring" them about it. This probably makes no sense whatsoever...having hard time gathering my thoughts here! Haha...oh well I'll leave it at that.

 

First, for those who say that topics like these are "degrading DP" or whatever, remember that this is the general chat forum, where we discuss non-webmaster related stuff, such as cars, society, etc. And YES, sex is one of them, even if you think talking about it is "evil, disgusting, degrading and will cause the universe to explode".

Yes, teenagers should be taught about sex education so that they can know true information about how to protect themselves and do it safely. Whether you like it or not, whether its ok with your "values" or not, teenagers WILL have sex. Portraying it as something "evil" or "forbidden" will only make them want to do it more and without the proper information about the risks involved, they may then take risks that they would not have otherwise taken had they been given the right education.

Just because they are taught about safe sex doesn't encourage them to have sex, just like taking a martial arts class will not turn them into sadists that go around beating everyone they cross on the street.

 

in my country there isn't sex education..

 

It is as important as their early education.

 

better make teens aware than sorry

 

Very important, especially for girls.

 

Not important at all, sex will come naturally kids should be taught right and wrong but today boys are getting hot in schools due to their testorone and are having sex flat out, i keep my kids away from sex edu and they do not take part, who wants a hot headed guy hanging around our daughters telling her lies and saying its ok teacher said. Lets get my son stuck into teachers little girl, see if he likes it.

EDIT: I heard that 14 year old girls are putting condoms on rubber penises in class, not my girls maybe yours but no chance is my little princeses doing that, no chance.

 

Whether or not they participate in sex ed, teenagers will "get hot" as you say and want to have sex. Sex ed is not about encouraging kids to have sex, but rather teaching them about what risks are involved (unwanted pregnancy, STDs, etc.) and how to protect themselves from these risks.

The same way that courses about drugs do NOT encourage teenagers to do drugs, but rather are supposed to present what effects different drugs have on the body and what are the risks involved in using them.

 

With the high teenage pregnancy rate these days, it is very important.
