Is there anything i can do to help ?

Question

My school doesn't have a sex ed class i know it can be awkward to talk about sex with a bunch of teenager's but A LOT of the students are very uneducated on that subject they don't know anything about their bodies have children STIs & STDs etc. All we get is a class explaining our period in middle school what about birth control STDs and safe sex ? There are many other things those are just the main problems at the moment I feel like it would help a lot of the students but im not sure how to say something to the administration about it

Answer

The superintendents and school board are the ones that decide what is taught. Unless they want all of the school with their own kids, I also think they need to be educated as well. It is not that they are encouraging the kids to be sexually active. But preparing them and being preventative of disease and pregnancy. Most kids are too ashamed or embarrassed or don’t want to get in trouble asking their parents questions yet alone for birth control or condoms which is why there are so many children with their own children.  They are all brainwashed into thinking that if they don’t have sex that the guy will leave. Or that pulling out means you won’t get pregnant, yes you can and are so misinformed and scared and have no one they can talk to without fear of getting in trouble at home. Or end up with diseases or yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis etc and don’t know what to do. Or think that plan B is a form of birth control and take it often and end up having all kinds of health problems. It’s for emergency use  only, no more than 4 times a year. I agree with you that it needs to be taught. That the best form of birth control is not having it but that isn’t guaranteed that kids won’t have sex. But need to be informed of the consequences and the responsibilities that come with it. That the best form way of preventing pregnancy and disease is birth control and condoms, if one fails, you still have a back up. Condoms are only 93% effective and that’s if it’s used correctly. I totally agree with you. I would talk to your principal and guidance counselor and see if you can get a meeting with the school board.
