I learned from a neighbor friend more than sex ed and my mom was worthless. She stuck a book (really lame one to boot) in front of me and said “here, read this”. That was her sex talk
My parents presented me with a whole set of books when I was about 12. I think the series was called “ Lifecycle” or something. I remember they were red and white hard bound books with age appropriate text - not babyish but not college level either - with lots of color illustrations and diagrams. My parents said “Here. Read every word of these books and let us know if you have any questions.” Honestly I was perfectly okay with this approach. I was a reader and really didn’t want to discuss the subject with my parents anyway.
Was it around the early 1980’s? It may have been the of same book series. I loved to read and would disappear into my books for days until I was done. My parent teacher notes went home and I was reprimanded many times for getting caught in the back of class reading romance novels during math, history, science (the classes I sucked at). As a sheltered shut in until I moved out on my own, I wished I had a mom I could talk to, especially since I was never allowed to have friends over, go to friends houses or talk on the phone with anyone without my mom over my shoulder making sure I didn’t say something wrong. That book was a crappy education and so was sex ed in school.
I got the books on the mid 70s so it’s likely they were around in the 80s. Yeah they gave a dry and incomplete sex ed. Nothing exactly inspirational. They made me wonder what all the big deal was. But I guess I got marginally more detail than I got at my traditional Catholic school. The romance novels may have taught you you more.
Very dry and yes they sid
This is more common than you think, that the parent doesn't actually teach sex Ed stuff, or is not equipped to do it well. This is why schools have tried to fill in the gap, because without at least some guidance, kids and teenagers will naturally need explanations about their bodies, and will start to explore things. Do we want teenagers sent loose to explore such things with 0 guidance or knowledge? I'm not sure that would turn out well. And as I mentioned, the school has stepped in to try to fill the gaps left by situations like yours when you were growing up. In theory it makes sense at least.
Yes, of course it makes sense but as you stated "teenager", TEENAGER.
NOT 4,5,6 year olds!
I am all for "sex education", and yes, the parents these days bear a majority of the responsibility for what is happening today.
Parents have failed their children in some of the most basic ways! It is NOT the teacher or schools job to raise or discipline our children!
Removing God, the Flag and respect, reverence for our country, our forefathers, our origins is one of the biggest mistakes we have ever made.
(I could go on and on)
That’s just a bunch of progressive child grooming bullshit. No, we do not need teachers to step in and shape a child’s sexuality. Just stop. Just fucking stop with that brainwashing. Sexuality is personal and private and it’s up to each person to work through it on their own. They have friends to talk to and if their is an adult there for them, it is their parents. And then STOP. It is not your place as another adult to get in there and start “shaping” the sexuality of another man’s child. To even make that claim is disgusting, but you don’t realize it because you’re so indoctrinated you are just spitting out slogans. Just back away from the kids here dude. It’s not your place.
