When asked about permission on whether teens should have knowledge about S_x Education I was reluctant on what I need to say or write on what should be the right way to tackle sensitive issue. I asked my two teen boys (my sons) if they have S_x Education in their curriculum and they both said NO. That's only for people with disability or Special Needs. Ha?! I was shocked. I couldn't believe what I heard. Should it be mandatory for people who are normal or rather for people who are of age or depends on maturity level? Students who are taking Medicine, Nursing, Biology and other subject in Science and Sociology. Or those who need to know about Family Planning.
Know what? S_x Education or rather topic about s-e-x is a taboo in my family in my own home where I was raised by Catholic parents. My Mother is very religious and that subject is never mentioned in our home. Although I remember that there is a topic of s-e-x in subject such as Biology because in this subject we studied about reproductive organs and the web of life. Biology subject is in High School. Even in Botany in my College pre-requisite there is topic about reproduction of plants. So that's not a problem. We watch movies that are suitable for our age and well at the maturity level everyone needs to know what is right from wrong. It's just s-e-x in human beings is a very sensitive issue. So that depends on the experts to tackle with inside the classroom especially with the "Special Needs Adults whose mind thinking is of at the level of "children" meaning not fully developed yet. However when the teacher mentioned such as: What is public and private behavior, good and bad touching and how to communicate maybe it will open up COMMUNICATION in a broader sense. Then the true meaning of s-e-x and what are the consequences...without exploiting their young minds to subject that they are not supposed to be familiar with, rather protecting themselves from s-e-x -ual predators.
How you can best tackle that complicated subject is building a strong character on your Special Needs students. Armed them with the right defense mechanism such as self-awareness, self defense and self-discipline. Social Awareness on social media and social network. Religion. Taboos regarding gender bender and what they need to understand? Opening subject like this open up their curiosity therefore the best way is CHARACTER EDUCATION. Stick with it.
SEE how I type the word s-e-x here in this blog? Because if you type the correct word it will open up LINKS to other site and you'll get into trouble. This is what you have to know in the internet. Not that I am a savvy literate tech expert but this how cradle snatchers I mean cat's cradle with lots of spiders in the net. It's like a weblike structure that once you type or label your blog subject it OPEN LINKS to other links which you don't want being associated with. This is also something to do with if you are looking for a name or search for url or name of a celebrity you want to search through the net and you mispelled their names, guess what you'll be surprised about too many _ornography associated with those popular celebrities. The worst thing is you'll be bombarded with lots of computer bugs and computer virus. So be very aware.
