Well, as the title says, Sex Ed. in schools. I am up for it. I say this because it saves our parents from doing it and at school, you have friends to sit next to, but at home, it's just one on one, and it would get really awkward

Meh, it's pretty much not needed now. Every kid aged 12 knows how Its done. Although, it's always worth a few laughs at school having to watch a sex ed tape from the 70s. 
Well, when i was in year 6, they showed us a video of a baby being born, it was pretty much a porno, and images! can't get them out of my head!
Along with sex ed. there is the reproductive system. and in C.L (Christian Living) we are learning about Contraception

Pft. I don't remember Sex Ed being a replacement for the bird and bees talk with the parents, but some parents sure act like its a replacement.
Gee, I guess I will never know what a parent feels like talking to their kid about sex until I become one. I mean, just suck it up and say it. Sometimes I feel like my parents are so ignorant like a 9 year old doesn't know what sex is. Sex its everywhere.
Sex Ed I guess is important to some folk considering those unfortunate few whose parents or guardians didn't have enough guts to talk about it. I just wish they'd teach Sex Ed sooner. I believe Germany teaches it much earlier and guess what? They get one of the lowest teen pregnancy rates in the world. Yet parents seem to think not telling their child will do the same thing? Yeah right.
I don't think Sex Ed does that much if taught too late though.

I think I was the only one who didn't really know what sex was until I experienced it first hand.
I missed both sex ed classes, skipped too much school to experience home economics class, and I had my best friend explain to me what semen was when we were 9 years old. I also thought that I got pregnant once from making out with my my-size-barbie.
I'm still not too bright in that category. I don't know what my bf sees in me sexually.
I think it's a good idea. It can't hurt right? MOST kids (not including myself) already know the whole 9 yards before they become teenagers. I had friends who were french kissing in 5th grade! =S
Plus...not all parents are meant to explain these things...

I think sex ed in schools is actually important. I don't mean the whole "this is a penis...and this is a vagina....and when two people really love each other" talk, I mean teaching kids about safe sex. I *hate* that Bush is trying to push abstinence in school. It's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
Kids are gonna have sex, no matter what you do. At least ensure that it's safe sex. I am totally for sexual education that teaches about contraceptives and safe sex.

Too much information.
Anyway, I never had sex ed. class, I don't see why it's necessary. Kids watch porn these days, that'll teach 'em most stuff about it. Then it's up to mommy and daddy to be responsible parents and tell their kids not to go around getting knocked up.
Seriously, sex ed. classes only exist because parents expect schools to babysit their kids and don't tell them anything like "hey jimmy, don't go around screwing all the loose girls in your school, you'll get them preggers or get HIV." Besides, sex ed. is practically obsolete since the internet exists.
Umm Bush really needs to get through his head the idea of separation of Church and State.
Anyways, I do believe that sexual education should be enforced more in schools. The age can be arguable but I think the best age is probably around 12. It is true that some preteens have experienced sexual activity. It's important to teach kids about protection.

I honestly can't remember my sex-ed class... It was so long ago.
Anyway, I agree. I think it's extremely important for the sake of practicing safe sex, not to mention, making teenagers aware of all those nasty gifts that keep on giving. You can't stop teenagers from having sex, but at least they can hope to instill some common sense in an age ruled by hormones.

I rather Sex Ed. Why? Because, it saves the embarassment of the Parents doing it. It's so disturbing for them to talk to their kids and the kids are almost destraught listening to it. haha.
Therefore, being in class is better, you won't feel as bad or embarassed about it. I am all for Sex Ed in schools.

Oh my gosh do I have an embarrassing story about parents explaining sex...
So...I was in 7th grade right, and I had not a clue about anything that had anything to do with sex or sexuality. One of the boys in class was joking around with my about a "rubber". And we were writing notes back and forth and he kept saying things about a rubber. o.0
Anyways, I brought the note home in my backpack, and...of course...my mother was in town, and she took it upon herself to dig through all of my belongings. Anyhow...She told my dad about it, made it into a really big ordeal, and explained to me for like 5 hours what a rubber was.
And by the end of the conversation, I thought that boys were mutated in the pants, and I still thought that a rubber was a rubber-band.
I was quite embarrassed though. =]

I've never had my parents talk to me about the birds and the bees (thank god) and I don't remember any sex ed classes. I sorta just starting figuring out everything on my own, through t.v., movies, my friends and the rest of the people at school. I found out more and got more direct answers from the television and other people than my teachers or parents :/
I think sex ed should stay in schools. Yes kids are going to have sex, my mum boguht my 15 year old brother some condoms the other week and I freaked. She said it was strange that her baby was having sex, but never the less, she wanted my brother and his girlfriend to practise safe sex.
Yes, kids are knowing how to have sex at a younger age, but some of them havent got a clue how good condoms and the pill are for protecting themselves. I remember my sex ed and yes it was daughting and scary, but it was better then listening to my mum or dad try to explain it to me!

I'm all for it.
Better to know too much than too little, you know?
Besides, it's more fun to learn it in a class surrounded by your peers so you can joke about it with them but still learn something.
Too awkward to discuss with parents...
