Opinion on Sex Education
Sex Education for kids??? I wrote a post and got many comments that was really helpful. And i am sorry for the blogs I stormed unvited. Please it was an honest mistake. It won't happen again.
Someone gave a side to sex Education for kids as good for the fact that they are informed. Thanks a bunch for your opinion; but if information has heightened the rate of moral decadence in our society, don't you think it is best we censored the kind of information children are privy to at an early age? The rate of child-crime and their number in juvenile homes isn't reducing at all, is it; and most of the cause is from education? Many years ago, rape was not as popular as it is today. Sexual immorality was not this high, keen pregnancy, abortion and abortion laws? Well...
I have seen videos of the content of COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (CSE) which is been introduced into schools and in Nigeria a petition is going around for it to be scrapped. Now, knowledge is power and the use of power his determined by the person who is empowered. Teaching kids about their genitals to me isn't wrong, I have seen parents teach children this things and even name vagina 'peepee', teaching them personal hygiene also; BUT teaching children about masturbation, kissing at least age 9 to me is disturbing. I was taught about the reproductive system in the Senior Secondary Class NOT about intercourse. I have seen the outcome of this knowledge, the rate of pregnancy and immorality about the kids. If we get children into Parenthood at an early stage in life, what will they get to do in future? I have seen many agreements for and against it and sometimes the arguments put for overweights that of against.
Now, few years ago 'we' felt it was normal teaching our children about protection and weapons. We encouraged it with the video games we gave them and the movies they saw. Fast-forward to this age and they are the threat to lives including their in most countries. Now my question is this 'if children are equipped with the information of sexual intercourse at the age of 9-11age group, what will be said or be of majority when they get to the ages of 17-20?'
Knowledge is power, but the extent of its use is determined by the one empowered. I think there are proper things we can teach our children under sex education as the age of maturity allows but going all the way is lethal
Look, I think that sex education is very important, and youngsters must be educated about it, since I saw a quite amount of young people at age of 20 and on who don't even know the basic stuff about their biology and this quite alarming but I understand your concerns as well, and to be honest I don't think that kids at early age must be thrown into adult world like this (referring to you, saying about 9-11 age group) And for sure sex educational system has to be worked on and on, because I think it must come in some kind of stages, like it starts with a "lite" stuff and then when kids grow up they gain more information but for sure not all at a time. As well, it need to be mentioned that it's not supposed to come only from school but also from home, so maybe there must be some kind of short courses to parents about how to deliver this info to their kids.
Yes. Parents should be the first sex education teachers for their children. When your children know the right thing from the house, it helps in their decisions. I agree with you
