What is the negative side of sex education in the early grade school years?

Answer 1

In the countries where it has been taught since the 1960's/1970's there has not been any disadvantages. Some people still believe that if you teach sex ed the kids will do it but years of teaching it and research done shows that there is no difference on how much sex kids have or how early. The difference is that those who were taught sex ed protects themselves more which leads to less pregnancies and STI's and also that they take more responsibilities for protection as adults.

Answer 2

Well there is not many reasons why it would be looked at negatively. If it is not being explained very well that would be negative. Some people believe it should not be given in school because they think the children will all want to try it immediately, then have lots of unwanted pregnancies.

Answer 3

ANSWER:

because it's disgusting and their are more teenagers now that are getting pregnant then when there wasn't any sex education

ANSWER:

The above statement is false and sounds like it comes from a very young teen. I would say getting a unwanted pregnancy or get a STI because I'm not educated would be much more disgusting.

The US government spent a lot of the money that was supposed to be for sex ed on teaching abstinence and the number in teen pregnancies has stayed the same. The US is not different from any other country in this world when it comes to sex ed. When taught properly to ALL students it will bring down teen pregnancies. The knowledge you get there you will bring with you into married life and for the rest of your life.

The reason many are against it is because they have fallen for the myth that if you teach it more kids will want to have it when in fact it's the opposite. Wanting sex is due to hormones and falling in love, not something you teach in a classroom. Many also think it should be up to the parents but many parents don't know how and many kids are not comfortable listening to their parents about it. Those who believe in abstinence teach their kids nothing. It's a human right to know how your body works and how to be in control of when to procreate and how to protect yourself from diseases.

Answer 4

While all children have curiosity about their bodies, it is possible that sex education will raise their curiosity. Childhood is the time for being a child, and too many people want to force children to grow up too fast. Students should be doing their classwork, not thinking about sex. Plus there are students who are not interested in sex, but only interested in learning, and it is wrong to make them feel like they are abnormal because they lack such interests.

Answer 5

The reverse is true. The more sex education kids get the better decisions they can make and the better sex they will have.

Answer 6

For one, Not all parents don't want it. I would if I was a parent.

And My theory would be that they think that sex education "promotes" sexual behavior.

Answer 7

Upset parents.

Other than that there really aren't any.
