I also think that abstinence should be taught. As in telling kids - "Hey, you don't need to have sex to be cool. You don't need to have sex with your boyfriend to prove you love him. You don't need to get laid by a certain age. To hell with everyone else and have sex when YOU want to. That said, when you do, here's how to not get pregnant."
And man, I saw a birthing video too. I never knew that much fluid could fit into a person. AAHHHHH.
Oh, abstinance is also a part of sex education. I'm just opposing abstinance only education. I don't think the two should be mutually exclusive of each other. Our sexual education was pretty good. They did put a lot of emphasis on abstinance but provided information about keeping ourselves safe if we decided not to go that route.
And the birthing video is just seriously fucking gross. :p
Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. We didn't cover the abstinence section very well at my school - they pretty much went over the facts and information and that was it. No actual discussion about it. They assumed the parents would do that.
HOMIGOD I LOVE YOU! Let me take your virginity. We won't get knocked up and I tested clean last time.
You should move up here and come campaigning with me cause right now there's a HUGE debate in my province over this controversial sex-ed programme they're trying to introduce that lays down the nitty gritty. Another set of parents opposed to herpes and dangly genitalia are proposing the same sex-eg programme from Texas, abstinence based. Together we would RULE the NB school system!
Hmmm...go to Canada. The benefits of course, are no Bush, but then again, it's friggin' freezing up there. ::shivers:: You know what's funny? Maybe some of these people proposing all the programs should take one second and maybe ask the kids who recently graduated high school for ways to improve the curriculium. I know most kids have a pretty good view of in what ways their education sucks, and could actually probably offer some good advice on how to improve things. Than again, they don't vote, so, who gives a flying fuck in a snowstorm, right?
Lol. I think I'm bitter. I'm going to crash for the night now, but I'll try to jump on chat tomorrow night.
lol. They firmly believed in scaring the ever-living-shit out of us kids. And then there was the one Sex Ed teacher, when told he couldn't do the demostration of the condom and banana, put a plastic bag over his head and said 'imagine I'm an erect penis' to my sister's sex ed class.
What I like about abstinence only education is the attitude, "If we don't tell them about sex, they won't know it exists!" Like the average teenager can't figure out how the parts fit together by instinct, no matter how deep a cave you try to put them in.
But see, if we don't tell them *anything*, they won't even know about the parts that fit! I'm a girl, and if I hadn't had sex ed, I wouldn't have learned about Tab A for my Slot A. Right? Yeah, right. Like Sarah never would have told me!
I know, right? ANd most parents don't want to acknowledge the fact that if they don't discuss sex with their kids or if the school doesn't, kids are going to get their information from other sources, like dumb ass friends who say the rhythem method works better than condoms or that you can't get STDs from oral sex (yes, I knew people like that. Fucking scary.)

Also, you had a way more interesting sex-ed class than me. Our scary graphicness was very limited.
