Learn About Sex Education??

The recent sex education controversy involving the Catholic Church’s and other religous groups insistence on discontinuing the implementation of DepEd’s Lesson Guides on Adolescent Reproductive Health in the High School Curriculum only proved what little concern, let alone respect they have, for the nation’s youth to be well-informed about their reproductive health and rights. The Church would rather keep students ignorant about the topic of sex, and if they were to venture into uncharted territory and make mistakes, they would pay for it dearly. The Church also decided to pass the buck onto the parents when it comes to educating their children about sex. Not only is that easier said than done, it assumes that all parents are flawless experts on the matter. As it is, “the birds and the bees” is of the most awkward topics to broach during a child’s coming-of-age, not just for the tween/teen but for mommy and daddy as well.While people, even parents, may have made mistakes in the past and learned from them, it’s never too late for young people, if given the proper access to information through education or sheer resourcefulness, to be in-the-know about sex (for making babies) and other related issues – premarital sex, safe sex and contraception, teen pregnancy, rape/molestation, incest, abortion, child prostitution and trafficking, pornography, sexually transmitted diseases, population etc. Such smarts could either prevent many situations that they may not be physically or emotionally prepared to deal with, or help them confront and cope with unfortunate incidents. To have or not to have sex ed also has a bearing on our population. Both our economic development and reproductive health as a nation hang in the balance on what the youth know or do not know about sex and their bodies.

here are some questions that im going to answer (hehe)

1.Do you need sex education? If so, what would you want to know/learn about?

2.Would you want your parents to talk to you about sex, or would you prefer to learn about it in school? Why so?

3.Do you think sex is dirty? Do you consider certain parts of the body dirty?

to answer the question:

1. yes I need sex education... ika nga ni ka ernie.. kung walang knowledge, walang power

2. for me I learned some in school but most of it I learned due to my own curiosity and from friends.

3. Sex is not dirty. I don't consider any part of the body dirty.

"Sex should be taught with responsibility. Moral and proper education. Most people are thinking it is more of a pleasurable thing than what is really sex's purpose in our lives."
