Best Answer

This is one of those controversial questions, and lots of people have opinions.

One answer:
Yes! Of course it should! The earlier children learn the dangers of unprotected sex the better - the more likely they are to protect themselves. Young children learn much faster than older children and adults.

Another answer:
No - if you teach children about sex, they will go off and start having sex.

To be honest, that's rubbish. People are going to have sex regardless of whether they're taught about doing it safely. That's what we're built for after all!

Yes definitely. sex ed should be taught at junior high schools because teens start to think about and get exposed to sex during middle school so they should be informed on the correct information about sex instead of learning it on their own or from friends.

YES Tons of questions right here that people should know if they got proper sex ed. Sex education teaches you how your body works and how to control your fertility. Only by knowing what is normal will you know when something is wrong.

The answer will depend on whom you ask. Most child psychologists would probably say that schools should teach something about sex. How much detail at what age is a matter of opinion.

If the questions on here are any indication, I heartily approve of it and think it NEEDS to be taught, badly, because some people are woefully ignorant about it.
