Sex ed.

I went to a small high school about a half an hour outside of Huntingdon. At my high school the males were not educated in sex education other than in health class. In this class the information was vague, and it was 11th grade, students were already partaking in sexual activity at this time, so it was a little late. I do, however, remember when the females were educated about their period in elementary school. They were pulled out of class in to the library, and the males in the class bugged them all day about what they were pulled from class for and why we were not invited. Not one of the girls ever spilled what happened in there, almost like it was an embarrassment to them. I do think that we should have been educated in sexual education at an earlier age, but from an angle in which it did kind of scare us. I think that teaching sexual education in a positive manner and to wear protection will almost make younger people more curious about sexual activity. Not having these education experiences could also have an effect. What to do, What to do......
