<p>i was just stating what i didn't know.</p>
<p>I also kind of just knew. But all I had for sex ed was in middle school. I can remember 6th grade; everyone was so giggly. Veery funny.</p>
<p>HEY, I'm in a rural area! gah, don't say that!<br>
uhh...it's important...but probably most important....in 10th grade. 9th graders take it ridiculously....but a lot of people don't know that much about the different forms of birth control/stds...
We didn't learn about the actual body in sex ed, we just talked about what we could do to prevent making babies ;)</p>
<p>did you guys have to take home that terrible fake baby that had a computer chip in it and it remembered like..when you changed the diapers and stuff? I hated that thing. I think I killed it....</p>
<p>how did you guys just KNOW? If it wasn't for my bio teacher, I bet I still wouldn't know it (I am taking sex ed. next year).</p>
<p>Sex Ed is tied into a mandatory semester of Health at our school. I must say it's quite informativ, but a dredfully boring class. The teacher doesn't teach all that well either.</p>
<p>I don't know. I grew in a very affluent part of India for most of my life, so I'm wondering it myself. I don't remember having a conversation with my parents.</p>
<p>Maybe the movies did it ?</p>
<p>Sex Ed in 4th grade at church
Sex Edin 5th grade at school
Sex Ed in 8th grade at new school
Sex Ed in 9th grade as part of health.</p>
<p>What have I learned: Do not have sex you will get chlamydia and die.</p>

<p>Damn, I'm sorry apathy, I was a big dick. I read your "could" as a "couldn't"; I thought your teacher taught you it could be transmitted by saliva, which is what ****ed me off. </p>
<p>My apologies, if an internet forum apology means anything.</p>

<p>Hahaha, I love Mean Girls.</p>
<p>it's alright. no offense taken, i figured it was a misunderstanding.</p>
<p>naidu90, being a girl requires certain discussions at a certain age, so i knew how babies were made and all that long before sex ed. ;)</p>
<p>My parents were always very frank with me about reproduction. I knew that babies came from the birth canal from a very young age-- though, admittedly, I was not too clear on how the baby actually got into the stomach in the first place for quite some time, but whatever. When questions arose, my parents answered them honestly.</p>
<p>Anyways, I think it's important for kids to have accurate sex education. The plain truth is that most people will have premarital sex, often with numerous partners. All the orators and religious strictures in the world couldn't stop them and never stopped them. The better tools they have to protect themselves and the more awareness of promiscuity's dangers, the healthier they'll be. </p>
<p>Of course, sex ed becomes a political point and people get told things about how AIDS is transferred through saliva. Which is completely false. Too often educators resort to scare tactics about sex where they should just impart information and leave the moral lessons to the parents. To speak falsehoods only weakens the message. It's the same problem with DARE programs-- there are lots of great reasons not to take drugs, but when kids are fed overexaggerations or outright lies about them, they mistrust ALL the reasons not to use them. It says "Casual sex isn't really dangerous, so I'm making up stuff to stop you." In which case, kids just roll their eyes and ask for the rubbers.</p>
<p>High school seems a little late for sex ed, though. Probably 95% of high school kids are in the full throes of puberty by 8th grade.</p>
<p>I don't know where I found out everything. My friends and I only made jokes during the Sex Ed classes and didn't pay attention, so it wasn't there. My mom pulled me aside twice to "discuss about the creation of life", but I didn't pay attention to that either.</p>
<p>I think I learned it from the hallway scene and just random stuff people talked to me about. Oh yeah, and Urbandictionary. =]</p>
<p>i wish i had a parent like Jim in American Pie :(</p>
