What the heck were they thinking?
I was talking to my daughter who is at her first year of secondary school and she says she is actually being 'taught' about issues, which I think, should be taught when you're only freakin' 11!
She says that she had some homework to do about how it is acceptable to have sex but always use a condom, racism, immigration and other things like that.
I'm not saying that any of that stuff is bad to be taught about but come on! Isn't that for like, 14 year olds?
Or am I just being a little paranoid...

Here I agree with legendis.god; the Uk have the highest rate(or a very high rate) of teenager pregnancies. Due to this they have to make young teenagers aware of what it's all about. How many teenagers say ' I can't fall pregnant the first time' ? Mind you, I don't think the government should make it easy for a teenanger to break away from home just because she's pregnant and offer housing and other benefits. They don't do this in the rest of Europe.
In all this literature that she has to digest for her homework, does it say anwhere that it's ok to say NO?
Perhaps if children were taught that sex is not neccesarily a part of adult relationships, that it is your body and that nobody has the right to lay their hands on you, we would'nt have the problems we're now having.
Even if they could just offer up the simple equation the longer you make a bloke wait for some, the longer he'll stick with you, the better he'll treat you and the more time you'll have to work out whether he's a bit of a t0sser or not.

I agree they should be taught about the basics and I agree that contraception should be an important subject, as long as the consequences are being addressed as well. Otherwise they are just explaining to kids (who are now sexually active at an age when I still thought boys smelled) how to do it without getting pregnant or infected. You can't teach them how to feel after doing this when they are not old enough to deal with it mentally or emotionally!
Well said 123 everton.
Kids do need pretty strong guidelines at a young age, even if they seem old fashioned. It's not OK to get pregnant in your early teens and they should be taught this by their parents. Of course, I wouldn't treat my child (boy or girl) harshly if they were responsible for a pregnancy, but I would damn well make sure that they were taught that it is not acceptable to have a sexual relationship whilst you are very young.
Until you are old enough and mature enough to form your own moral values, then parents should be giving guidance and quite strong guidance. Schools can't do this!
What I did at 17 + was up to me, but before that age I wouldn't have dared to have got pregnant. Was that so bad? I believe there are lots more really younger teenagers getting pregnant today because society is accepting it. Giving sex education in schools won't solve anything because it's pretty obvious it's being ignored.

Yes, parental guidance is good but there must be quite a lot of discipline too.
Kids are more mature physically, but what we forget is that they are still kids mentally, with no real life experience. I remember thinking at 14 that I knew everything and my parents were stupid!! I might well have gone "off the rails" if I hadn't been brought up with some discipline and respect for my parents.
So I left going of the rails for a few more years!!
