Sex ed is tought at my school once a year to the grade 10's. I think it is helpful but also to late. Most grade 10's have already had sex, done drugs, and everything that goes on in that lifestyle. Absinence should be tought more, now they barely mention absinence because people otomatically tie it to religion. Its not a always a religious thing, its common sense. Why should grade 6 and 7 be having sex!
And giving out condoms thats stupid, most get opened at school and flung at each other or rubbed on stuff. Kids who are determined to have sex dont need one condom to be given to them at school, what about all the other times they are going to have sex, the school might as well give them a whole case. They go out and buy them themselfs or get them from friends. They dont need the school wasting money and buying them. Do you have any idea how many times condoms have been thrown at me, or how many times the class has gone crazy when someone starts throwing a condom around in class, tons of times so many times I can't count anymore.
I think the parents should have a reality check. The majority of teenagers today go to parties on the weekend and get drunk, high, and laid. They even do it in the washrooms at school. I have spent years listening to classmates talk about the things they do on the weekend. If your son or daughter dresses and acts like a "typical teenager" then they are going to parties getting drunk, having sex and doing drugs. Because that is typical. It is a trend I personally have noticed. I think it is sad that parents dont believe it could be their child, most likely it is your child, after all it is most every child.
