[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think parents should be teaching kids about sex, not schools.[/b] I remember watching a 16 and Pregnant episode where the mom of the season answered questions and one of the teen mother's dad was upset that the school didn't teach using condoms or something. Uhh, that's your responsibility as a parent.[/quote]

I agree that parents SHOULD. But I see so many parents on here saying things like "my kid is 12, when should I have the birds and bees talk?" and you just KNOW that parent is completely fucking things up. Way too many parents don't know how to talk to their kids about sex, about love, about relationships. My mother for example, never once told me about masturbation. I highly doubt she ever did it herself. She got married at 19, was a virgin, and has a very tame view of boys/men, dating, sex, etc. It's not how I'm raising my daughter.

It's all well and good to say schools should stay out of it. But too many parents are avoiding the topics because they feel awkward or embarrassed or can't be realistic about where their children are developmentally. We need schools to step in for the parents shirking their responsibilities, however shitty a job they do at it.[/quote]
