My middle school in TN practically said sex doesn't exist, there were roughly 10-15 pregnant girls a year...
LearnSomething
Alabama. They told all the girls in my class that sex was like a treasure chest and if you have lots of partners you have nothing left to
Give because you gave all your treasure away. Then they showed us graphic STD photos. That was it.
In VA they told us birth control was for whores. Guess who had 5 pregnant girls per year in MIDDLE SCHOOL.
guntech59
The real question is "Why are people looking to the school to teach things parent should be teaching?"
Because half of it is biology and Brantly's parents think vaccines cause autism
Your reply makes no sense at all.
People are looking to the school to teach sex Ed because half of it is biology and the majority of parents are unqualified to teach it
I don't think they are unqualified. Lazy, perhaps. It doesn't take long to educate yourself. The science is right here on the internet.
It's not government business, it's family business
Also, even most sex ed programs don't talk about gay sex. There's some important things to know, and not all parents are willing to teach it
See idk about that. I'm in grad school learning physiology and I'm still picking stuff up. I'm not saying you can't find it all, but its 1/

I actually just wrote a college paper on America's teen pregnancy rate vs The Netherlands and why theirs is the 2nd lowest in the world and
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wF_u_h5f31iwZY9cB5Va4i49fKlpH2gwPbgg7f93TsE/edit?usp=sharing]
why ours is the highest. I can post a link if anyone is interested.
zephyrbell
Yes, of course we are.
NeverShaveYourDuck
No need. You're a bunch of bigoted dumbasses governed by crooks and charlatans. Case closed. Enjoy your church and STD's.
There's a ton of things that affect teen pregnancy. Education, intelligence and poverty, are the biggest factors.
That being said, sex education is the cheapest solution to implement in our society. The others are far more contentious.
ItsMeToddKraines
I would love to read it!
TommyWa
Uhh. I'm pretty sure ours isn't the highest in the world... Nowhere near close to the highest. Though we may be the highest first world.
Yup, of the 22 countries that we have data on. We are the highest. So basically first world and those we control.
ImaSithDuh
I'd love to see the paper.
Going back and reading this. How in the world did i get an A on this? There is so much editing left to do 0_o
Should work. Its not my best work and im not even willing to go and read it to see if it was the final version but i think it is. Gl.
Thank you! *Puts on her reading glasses and gets out the heavy-duty reading liquor*
I was limited on the length of the paper but basically the reason teen pregnancy is falling rapidly is the increased access of birth control
Ripley2179
I'm Australian, we started sex ed in year 3. That would have been 1993. We had an anonymous questions box that the teacher would answer (1)
CarInAVet
What age is "year 3"?
TheWiseAlaundo
As a fellow aussie i'd have been about 8 but i don't remember when they talked to us about it but i moved school a lot.
8 seems a little young. We got our first talk at 12, but it was a bit briefer than the teenage classes.
pilates4hotties
Yeah, unless 8 is like "clean your gibblets, here's where babies come from and tell someone if uncle is touching you" type stuff.
questions from in class. We had 1 teenage pregnancy in my whole grade in high school. (2)
[deleted]
I think you misunderstand. Abstinence was taught but so was birth control methods. And year 3 as in 3 years after kindergarten.

He didn’t say only two people had sex, he said only one person got pregnant.
DasBeaker
Not all America is like this. I’m from California and our intro in to sex Ed was 4th grade.
That's great! I think early sex ed is important for kids to understand their bodies but also that they are in charge of their own bodies.

#notallamerica
tyr888
pennsylvania here - we had sex ed starting in sixth grade. lookingback, it was probably really stressful for the teacher, with immature kids
Stressful maybe but we can't be afraid of talking to our kids about the facts of life. That's what fucks ppl up and gives them complexes.
that teacher ended up getting one of the students pregnant, but I believe there were only two pregnancies before we left middle school
Holy shit! As in statutory rape?
ohiohobbyzooadventures
I live in Ohio. We started age appropriate sex ed in 5th grade.
Yea ours was a small start at 4th and each year would progress in information. It wasn’t like “this is how you were made!” Right away lol.
Bimgler
Ohio also- Got some basic "This is how reproduction works in terms of science" in 5th. We didn't get an actual sex ed until 8th. Idk.

I must have missed the people being executed because they were mentally handicapped, any source?

Not "because", I think the idea is that mentally handicapped people are tried and sentenced as if they were sane
Except, they are not. They might still die because they murdered someone, but the process to reach that goal is very different.
GrandmaSlappy
You misunderstood, what we do is give the death penalty to the mentally handicapped who have committed crimes

Texas also closed down like 90% of its family planning centers and saw a 4-fold spike in maternity death in a matter of years.

Thats a lot of needless deaths. Christ add up the other areas and you'll have entire hills of corpses of women who didnt have to die.

Abstinence isn't taught very well. Sex is not trivial; nor is your sexual history because it impacts who you become the younger you start.
*the younger you are, the bigger the impact. And we all know this.
Xalaqia
I'll fix that for ya: Abstinence-only education doesn't work very well. Comprehensive sex-ed helps you make better choices.
Sex-ed is proven to do one thing better than abstinence, and one thing only -- prevent pregnancy and the spread of disease.

When I was three my parents got me a childrens' book about it. I knew about sex before I could read and write.

But it does make a lot of Bible belt girls try anal. If that changes your opinion. Or soaking I guess.
Well, if you have 0 sex, you have 0% chance to get pregnant/impregnate someone.

Sex ed gave us information on how to get birthcontrol and handed out free condoms as well as teaching how to put them on, even in the dark.

My middle school in TN practically said sex doesn't exist, there were roughly 10-15 pregnant girls a year...
LearnSomething
Alabama. They told all the girls in my class that sex was like a treasure chest and if you have lots of partners you have nothing left to
LearnSomething
Give because you gave all your treasure away. Then they showed us graphic STD photos. That was it.
zoezoebelle
In VA they told us birth control was for whores. Guess who had 5 pregnant girls per year in MIDDLE SCHOOL.

The real question is "Why are people looking to the school to teach things parent should be teaching?"
PrinceSatisfactory
Because half of it is biology and Brantly's parents think vaccines cause autism
guntech59
Your reply makes no sense at all.
PrinceSatisfactory
People are looking to the school to teach sex Ed because half of it is biology and the majority of parents are unqualified to teach it
guntech59
I don't think they are unqualified. Lazy, perhaps. It doesn't take long to educate yourself. The science is right here on the internet.
guntech59
It's not government business, it's family business
PrinceSatisfactory
Also, even most sex ed programs don't talk about gay sex. There's some important things to know, and not all parents are willing to teach it
PrinceSatisfactory
See idk about that. I'm in grad school learning physiology and I'm still picking stuff up. I'm not saying you can't find it all, but its 1/

Yes, of course we are.
NeverShaveYourDuck
No need. You're a bunch of bigoted dumbasses governed by crooks and charlatans. Case closed. Enjoy your church and STD's.
PoliteButFactualCanadian
There's a ton of things that affect teen pregnancy. Education, intelligence and poverty, are the biggest factors.
PoliteButFactualCanadian
That being said, sex education is the cheapest solution to implement in our society. The others are far more contentious.
ItsMeToddKraines
I would love to read it!
TommyWa
Uhh. I'm pretty sure ours isn't the highest in the world... Nowhere near close to the highest. Though we may be the highest first world.
gamerninja91
Yup, of the 22 countries that we have data on. We are the highest. So basically first world and those we control.

Should work. Its not my best work and im not even willing to go and read it to see if it was the final version but i think it is. Gl.
ImaSithDuh
Thank you! *Puts on her reading glasses and gets out the heavy-duty reading liquor*
gamerninja91
I was limited on the length of the paper but basically the reason teen pregnancy is falling rapidly is the increased access of birth control
Ripley2179
I'm Australian, we started sex ed in year 3. That would have been 1993. We had an anonymous questions box that the teacher would answer (1)
CarInAVet
What age is "year 3"?
TheWiseAlaundo
As a fellow aussie i'd have been about 8 but i don't remember when they talked to us about it but i moved school a lot.
CarInAVet
8 seems a little young. We got our first talk at 12, but it was a bit briefer than the teenage classes.
pilates4hotties
Yeah, unless 8 is like "clean your gibblets, here's where babies come from and tell someone if uncle is touching you" type stuff.
Ripley2179
questions from in class. We had 1 teenage pregnancy in my whole grade in high school. (2)

Ripley2179
I think you misunderstand. Abstinence was taught but so was birth control methods. And year 3 as in 3 years after kindergarten.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
...if you think nine year olds are having sex, you have issues.
dogbeachesarethebestbeaches
Year 3s are 9 years old.
deathbyegg
who the fuck wasn't a virgin at age 9? learn what year 3 means mate
MystiCaliKotta
He didn’t say only two people had sex, he said only one person got pregnant.
DasBeaker
Not all America is like this. I’m from California and our intro in to sex Ed was 4th grade.
Ripley2179
That's great! I think early sex ed is important for kids to understand their bodies but also that they are in charge of their own bodies.

tyr888
pennsylvania here - we had sex ed starting in sixth grade. lookingback, it was probably really stressful for the teacher, with immature kids
Ripley2179
Stressful maybe but we can't be afraid of talking to our kids about the facts of life. That's what fucks ppl up and gives them complexes.
tyr888
that teacher ended up getting one of the students pregnant, but I believe there were only two pregnancies before we left middle school
Ripley2179
Holy shit! As in statutory rape?
ohiohobbyzooadventures
I live in Ohio. We started age appropriate sex ed in 5th grade.
DasBeaker
Yea ours was a small start at 4th and each year would progress in information. It wasn’t like “this is how you were made!” Right away lol.
Bimgler
Ohio also- Got some basic "This is how reproduction works in terms of science" in 5th. We didn't get an actual sex ed until 8th. Idk.

I must have missed the people being executed because they were mentally handicapped, any source?
Zokalwe
Not "because", I think the idea is that mentally handicapped people are tried and sentenced as if they were sane
abcd197101
Except, they are not. They might still die because they murdered someone, but the process to reach that goal is very different.
GrandmaSlappy
You misunderstood, what we do is give the death penalty to the mentally handicapped who have committed crimes

Texas also closed down like 90% of its family planning centers and saw a 4-fold spike in maternity death in a matter of years.

Thats a lot of needless deaths. Christ add up the other areas and you'll have entire hills of corpses of women who didnt have to die.

The inherent irony of people fighting so hard to force unwanted pregnancies when the result is failed wanted pregnancies with dead mothers

We are an armed society and give police the tools to enforce the law in an armed society.

If you agree with executing dangerous normal people and dangerous animals, I don't see why you'd disagree with executing handicapped people.

If you don't that's valid, but if you do there's no logical basis for the handicapped exception.

I agree...in TX there is the pit of idiocy, ignorance, and elected officials whose Texas-Is-Bestest pride doesn't allow them to admit error.

This is true. But that attitude isnt just a Texas issue. Officials everywhere seem to think they can do no wrong.

My hs switched from sex ed to abstinence class. Surprise surprise, teen pregnancy went up from 1 per year to 15 my senior year.
InsideTheForest
Actions have consequences who would have guessed?
icyanddicey
You got pregnant 15 times in your senior year? Sounds fishy
DonnieDangles87
That's a terribly small sample size.

Its a consistant occurance in almost every area its used in. Places it sidnt ended up having outlying factors.

Next up, employ chastity belts and advocate parents to require their kids to wear 'em.

Tbh, teen pregnancy sucks for some, but it is a natural age to start pooping those brats out.

My school’s idea of sex Ed was teaching us about eggs, sperm, fetal development, and menstruation. Sex itself was NEVER discussed.

I mean we're blaming the schools while the parents just sit there right

FakeNewsCanBeFun
Abstinence isn't taught very well. Sex is not trivial; nor is your sexual history because it impacts who you become the younger you start.
FakeNewsCanBeFun
*the younger you are, the bigger the impact. And we all know this.
Xalaqia
I'll fix that for ya: Abstinence-only education doesn't work very well. Comprehensive sex-ed helps you make better choices.
FakeNewsCanBeFun
Sex-ed is proven to do one thing better than abstinence, and one thing only -- prevent pregnancy and the spread of disease.
WTexasStoner
15 pregnancies? That girl must have been BUSY!
peruvianfightingmidgets

I really want to know what the responsible management people are saying about this? Is there a statement?
Cheomesh
Do...parents not have The Talk at home? I mean definitely teach it in school but damn son.
rooik14
Parents in districts that do abstinence-only largely do abstinence-only as well.
Cheomesh
Ah jeeze :/
rooik14
Yeah welcome to the Bible Belt. The reason the state does it is that's what a lot of that population wants despite its ineffectiveness.
Mormole
When I was three my parents got me a childrens' book about it. I knew about sex before I could read and write.
Cheomesh
I was like...11, maybe. Got a textbook.
Mormole
I guess that eleven is a reasonable age too though. Got to say that I didn't really need that information between 3 and 11.
AnythingMuchShorter
It's almost as if creatures that reproduce by sex don't need to be instructed in how it works to figure it out.
Goronhead
Abstinence class? What does that even involve? "don't rub your bits together ever. End of class."
VenserArtifice
Imagine that, but a 100 woird essay made by taking your statement and using a thesaurus as much as you can, with fearmongering thrown in.
lochnessm0nster
Thats basically sex ed in texas
Kasador
They showed us pictures of diseased genitals and said condoms don’t work so don’t have sex until you are married
CorrectMostOfTheTime
TIL marriage stops STDs
Goronhead
Oh, so just straight up lying to your impressionable teenage minds. Well done.
Kasador
Basically, I remember the teacher asked us if we would get on a plane if it had a 20% chance of crashing. Some murmured no, he said so why
Kasador
Use condoms if they have a 20% chance of failing
CoBr2
Yeah, kids in my class walked out thinking condoms were a waste of money. Still gonna have sex, but condoms clearly worthless.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Yep. If you're in the Bible Belt, add in some "Jesus will be very disappointed in you, and you might go to Hell."
donkeymoney
Thats how sarah palins daughter had a couple kids
Cantalk
Also, "Every time you have sex, you give away part of your soul."
Xevtes
That's how Horcruxes work, but with sex instead of murder
NuVanDibe
Oh my God I hated that part. They had a volunteer girl hold a paper heart and tear it in half and give half to one boy, then another, etc
ultravioletultraviolence
Euro question here; what places are included in the Bible belt?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c2/BibleBelt.png
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
That doesn't look anything like a belt. It looks more like a cold sore
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Also the whole "The only 100% guaranteed way not to get pregnant or catch a disease is to not have sex." thing, which isn't completely true.
xlr82xs
But it does make a lot of Bible belt girls try anal. If that changes your opinion. Or soaking I guess.
Cheomesh
Well, if you have 0 sex, you have 0% chance to get pregnant/impregnate someone.
Trondason
While, I wouldn't say 0% chance. There's always freak accidents and random mutations.
ShoulderDeepInACow
True cause in the bible Mary got pregnant despite not having sex. So therefore abstinence is not 100% effective. #im2smart

Sex ed gave us information on how to get birthcontrol and handed out free condoms as well as teaching how to put them on, even in the dark.
InspectorGoole
Pretty handy if you ask me, i had no idea that i could get 2 types of coil, implant etc at age 14, and especially didn't know where to go.

Taught me how to put a condom on, I bet you if you didn’t know you’d do it wrong, I mean your parents didn’t know, look you’re here

Sorry, we can't have sex because Ms. Kirbopple didn't show me how to put a condom on a banana.....

It helps teach kids how you could end up pregnant if you don’t take the measures against it (condoms, birth control pills) Don’t be dumb.

Assumptions make an ass out of you and mptions. Kids are dumb, not all of them got The Talk, and learning by doing causes pregnancies.

You say that like that’s all you need to know about birth control. 15% still get pregnant using a condom. That’s a lot.
