Why should we be more careful? Parents that have already gone through that phase know it the best and they are just trying to help you so you either dont make the same mistakes they did or make a mistake.
I do not think it is the schools responsibility to tell kids to be abstinent. In my opinion that is the parents job, but I do think that schools should teach some information about methods of birth control and other sex ed topics.
i agree with you that its the parents responsibility to teach the kids but not all parents are the same and some parents will put the topic off until its too late, kids still need a sex ed program with information on avoiding pregnancy and to avoid transmission of stds.
I think that teens should be embarrassed to have "the talk" with their parents because your parents have also gotten the talk when they were teenagers by our grandparents. I think that I would rather get "the talk" with my mom versus getting it from my grandmother.
I personally have never had "the talk" with my parents. Everything I've learned on the subject of sex is what I've seen on TV and looked up on the internet. The reason why a lot of people aren't embarrassed by the sex talk anymore is because nudity is all over a lot of social media sites. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram - you name it, it's there. What you find could vary from pornographic to educational to helping young adults, along with adults, view their bodies in positive ways. It's just not needed for parents to talk to their kids about sex when they could look up any questions they have about it on Google. It saves the awkwardness of asking their parents and it's faster.
The media and Social Media has changed what we as a society accept as OK. Our social norms regarding this topic have been moved from a conservative view up through the 50's to a more liberal view from the 60's to the 21st century.
I disagree with the last part. I think in can be a good thing kids have all that information, but I also think it is still necessary for parents to explain to their children what all the information means in the real world.
I think its fantastic parents and their children are talking about it because i feel like kids are having sex at such a young age that they need to know what can happen and the consequences that can happen if you do become sexually active.
great article. we should be more careful on that topic.

DeleteI agree, but I don't think the schools should only teach abstinence. The abstinence part of it is the parents job.

ReplyDeleteIt just isn't as awkward anymore, you see it everywhere and were just used to seeing it and talking about it.
