maybe find some stats on how teen pregnancy and STD rates have dropped in the past few years as schools have taken a bigger part in educating kids.

I think sex education SHOULD be in schools simply because there are alot of parents out there who are not doing their jobs of teaching their kids important things about sex.  Kids these days are finding things out on their own and kids are having sex waaaay too young these days.  And quite frankly, the schools have qualified people to come in and talk about it and give kids the information...far more qualified than regular people.  They talk about std's and pregnancy and rape and sex laws and so forth.  These days, we just can't leave sex education in the hands of parents who are too timid and scared to talk to their kids about sex.  Same with drug awareness...\n\nJ

yup!\ninformation dissemination regarding sex is necessary for students. such can answer questions that they would otherwise be too awkward to ask their parents or adults.  it can also correct the possibly distorted information they get from many sources including their peers. moreover, by providing them with information, they can be more responsible with their sexual behavior.  \nthe impact of irresponsible sexual behavior includes many other things including risks of sexually transmitted dieseases as well as unwanted pregnancies.  pregnancy in teenage women is much riskier than that in women in their twenties.  moreover, there is this study that shows that infant mortality is lesser with mothers who have some kind of sexual education.

Lol, who knows? I come from the UK and sex ed is compulsary here but still we seem to have the highest teen pregnancy's in the whole of Western Europe. Sex ed's important though, because it teaches about protection against pregnancy and STD's....I find it quite important that high school kids must know it.

HUGE deal...If you're teaching you're in a position of power, it doesn't matter if the student is the one who "made the first more" or not. Your judgement is being trusted by parents and school officals. If you're smart enough to teach a class, then you should be smart enough to know better than to have sex with anyone under your authority.

Definitely choice A!  Sex can be good and bad, like so many things in life.  If young people aren't prepared for it, it will end up being a bad thing.\n\nI often compare sex to fire.  Both are very good things that are necessary for survival, but only when one knows how to properly use them and take adequate precautions against any hazards.  Most of the hazards brought on by fire will never be faced by the majority of children.  This is probably because they are educated about it early in life ("Don't play with matches" "Stay away from the stove!" "Only YOU can prevent forest fires!"  "Stop, drop and roll." etc) and come to respect it.  And yet, when educating children about the dangers of fire, I have never heard someone say, "Hey...maybe we shouldn't teach them about this...they might get ideas and try to burn down the house."  The same principle should be applied to sex ed.  Who knows?  Maybe there would be less STDs and teen pregnancies if children were educated about it before they got the drive to have sex.  Too many are simply unprepared because people don't want to give them ideas.

The media have arguably become the leading sex educator in America today. That's not good news, considering the fact that more than 75% of primetime shows contain sexual content but only 11% discuss the risks of sex.3 How significant is the influence of media on teens' sexual attitudes and behaviors? For 50 years researchers have explored the connection between media violence and real-life aggression in children and adolescents.4 More than 1000 studies show a connection.5 In fact, according to one leading researcher, "the controversy is over"6; now, we have a second major study showing a strong connection between sexual content in all media and onset of sexual activity among teens.7 Is there much doubt that research on the impact of sex in the media is going to parallel the media-violence research? The media represent a powerful teacher of children and adolescents.8 As such, the media cut across virtually every concern that parents and pediatricians have about young people: sex, violence, homicide, suicide, obesity, eating disorders, school problems, and drug use.

Depends what kind of hogwash the schools are corrupting your kids brain with.  Apparently everything seems to be abstenince, abstenince, abstenince these days. Does that actually work?  A TX based study says not at all, and other studies say that atleast half of all teens have engaged in oral.  Anyone know what the actual intercourse percentage is? I cant find it. Besides, whats a teens first response to something thats 'forbidden'?\n Want to teach your kids about sex, actually TEACH them about it.  About the dangers of unprotected sex, how the consequences of such can potentialy screw lives. Teach them sex isnt just sex or 'f*ing around'. Its sacred, its to be cherished.  The more they actually know, the more likely, I think, theyll wait.
