Should parents be more involved in teaching sex ed to their kid?

Anonymous 1w

The parents need to be the ones teaching their kids about sex

It should be the parents/schools teaching sex ed, but with how involved the kids are with the internet there’s a greater chance they’ll learn it by themselves

I think they SHOULD, but the reality is that they fucking won’t. Like they just don’t teach their kids sex ed a majority of the time. I’m talking comprehensive sex ed. I’m talking the shit they actually need, like how m and f bodies work, safe sex, contraceptives, and how to recognize infections. And that’s why schools need good sex ed. In a perfect world they might not, but we don’t live in a perfect world.

My parents did not have any sort of sex talk with me at all. I was almost a teen father three times before I graduated. And it took me a while to figure out how sex, affection, and the emotions that come with that fit together. I dated a narcissist for years and a big reason why I couldn’t see who they really were was cuz I was so easily manipulated by sex. I sorta resent my parents for not giving me any guidance.

Yes. My mom never told me anything about periods and I went to a private Christian school that didn’t have sex ed. My first period I was out in a store with a family member, went to the bathroom and almost called 911 because I didn’t know where the blood was coming from or why. I didn’t even know how babies were made until 10th grade biology when I transferred to public school.

I’d argue that if you’re really uncomfortable with it just let them know what they can expect to learn in school

imagine trusting some random teacher or parent when you could just google around and figure it out yourself

I think it’s their business on what they think they should or shouldn’t teach

And it’s silly as fuck that you’re uncomfortable about it. Why?

I’m not talking about me personally, is it easier to get parents to tell them everything, (and even if it’s silly doesn’t mean it’s not true that they are uncomfortable) or to get the ones that are uncomfortable to just tell them lightly what they might learn???

How did I know you'd include yourself in that? It's sad how things have to be spelled out to you people. There's zero legitimate reason to not be able to talk to your own kid about sex

“You people” lol. I’m literally just stating the facts. It’s not up to me or you what reasons parents do things for their kids, just because it’s illegitimate isn’t gonna stop them from reasoning that way. I’ll rephrase my statement, would you rather have parents not say ANYthing to their kids, or at least open the door to future conversations if the parents are scared at first? Your argument is more likely to turn parents off from doing anything about the matter than open their minds to it.

Some people don’t have that help or emotional intelligence to reason that way (past trauma etc) and the comeback is not “then they shouldn’t have children” because that isn’t going to progress anything for anyone.

It’s clear you don’t understand how to actually effect change in everyday people.

Yeah it is. You already knew what is when you typed it. Do you know how many fucked up people have said out their own mouth I don't need to have kids? There's plenty of people that just shouldn't have kids. Soo you'd rather fuck up another life because you're fucked up? If you actually get yourself some help to get better to be a good parent great. If not don't do it

No you don't. Because it begins with yourself not your kids. Nor do you have a kid because you finally want to do better

You can attack the morality of their actions all you want, I’m not defending them at all, I’m just saying it IS going to happen whether it’s right or not, so you have to move towards helping them and not criticizing them for their actions. The one at play is the child not that the parent gets shunned because they messed up…

Talking to your kids about sex should be easy. You should want most of your kids info coming from you. And if you're uncomfortable get over yourself. You have a life to rear

Yeah you are. And it starts with just not having them. You can't fuck up no lives if they're not there

Ok what about the kids that are already born? #7’s comment shows it all. Just because it’s wrong doesn’t mean people WONT do it. We do not live in a perfect world I’m sorry. Arguments like those would work in a perfect world but tell me where this world is perfect rn and I’ll agree with your reasoning.

I know someone who's parents started abusing her *because* she got her period- I do not think her parents should have been the ones teaching her sex ed. I know people who were being SA'd by their dad, I do not think their dads should have been the ones teaching sex ed. Schools shouldn't have to, but they do have to.

The problem is that a lot of schools don’t teach genuine sex ed. The only semi sexual education I received was in middle school for a one day which consisted of a video essentially saying “don’t have sex”

Once again you people trip me out asking silly shit. No one's talking about no perfect world. It really shouldn't have been brought up. It's already a lost cause. We all know that. That's why girls are getting pregnant young still. Boys and girls are skewed on how sex should be. More sexual assaults are happening. We got new STI's. Kids DK what the reality is about sex. Y'all are doing too much with gender and orientation. That's a just a touch of the issues with stupidity. We're fucked

I was at a Christian school. We didn't even have no videos with that type of extreme nonsense. We were taught both. Christian version with wait until you're married. But also the science involved with it
