[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is definitely very conservative OP.
What you have to watch for is the 6th and 7th grade health class. They discuss sex trafficking and forced heroin use.
So depressing and shocking.[/quote]

Oh good grief.

I grew up in a very Christian town/household, and kids were having oral sex by seventh grade.   It is early for some kids but late for many, so the school has to start then. [/quote]

I had a pregnant classmate in 7th grade. It is so so late to start talking about these things! [/quote]

Fair play. We should teach oral and anal to 6th graders. (Catholic contraception).

Seriously though, the Venn Diagram of kids who are consensually involved in middle school sex/pregnancy and kids who pay attention to anything in school is very close to 2 separate circles. [/quote]

You're assuming all sexual activity is consensual. You shouldn't assume that.[/quote]

+1 Also the assumption that people having early sex are bad students is also totally off-base.[/quote]
