” Kids, our lesson for today is Sex. “
In a month I’ll be in Philippines. Soon, I’ll be with a boyfriend. Later, I’ll be choosing a contraceptive method then practice it perfectly without miss or else I’ll be in a deep shit…. screeeettcchh!!
am I too vulgar? Aww! don’t be mortified with my bluntness. It’s not that I’m planning a murder of killing a patient. I’m just planning my sexual life. Be a sexually responsible adult. I’m 32-soon. I’m not like 10 years old studying Sex Education in Schools now… Yep!
The Department of Education (DepEd) attempted to bring forward the program on “sex education”, which was seen as a positive step by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities. The plan was to integrate “sex education” to the general curriculum, beginning 5th grade, via subjects like Health, Filipino, Science, and Livelihood education. The objectives were to educate the young minds on the issue of overpopulation and raise awareness on the dangers of pre-marital sex, including “unwanted pregnancies”.
Heck! If I can’t abstain anymore, will they teach me contraceptives instead of abstinence? ( i mean, i know abstinence is a type of family planning too) If I’m abashed with my vulgarity now even considering the fact that even there’s no rated 18 warning to the readers of this post, I know they’re above 18 already. What more if my spectators are just 10years olds?!
I once worked as a School Nurse back at my beloved boondocks. Counseled and disseminated information discretely about sex education to high school students. What I’ve seen on their faces even with open and frank interaction is still malice. Albeit emphasizing the tailing responsibility of indulging on Sex, their focus is still on menstruation, ejaculation and contraception.
Indeed Sex Education is important. Letting the young people aware of the pros and cons of the act. However, introducing sexual awareness should be based on the level of understanding of the person and only parents know the readiness of their kids on such topics. Then I may suggest that sex education should instead be taught to parents than to their children.
I have emotionally intelligent boys (10 and 7 years old). They can even simplify life than my complicating of it. However, I still choose to explain to them that ” Babies grow from seed. The seed comes out of man’s prick and is planted in a woman’s cut. Then the seed grows into a baby in her belly, and when it’s ready, it comes out.” Maybe I could also stress out that their body is their private property and are meant to be private. They should guard and take care of it because it is theirs. No one has the right to trespass their privacy or else they should report it to me. In the same way, that they should respect females private property also. When one would decide to share it to another person in due time. One should take it responsibly. I can not find a face to use when and if I’ll tell them about coitus, abstinence or worse.. Types of Contraceptives to choose from.
As a Mother and as once an educator as well, awakening awareness of 10 years old kids is like planning their sexual life at their young age. Allowing them to play like moths around the flame. The tendency of burning oneself is possible. To be safe, Sex education should only be imposed to those armed with maturity and ability to comprehend thus targeting the goals of this activity precisely without miss or else, still, we will again be in a deep shit!
