Is this what you call rap?

About 56% of rap songs mention sex, but not how to have safe sex or about using protection.

The Other side

The other side of comprehensive sex education in school believes that it is the family’s job to teach children about the norms and practices of safe sex and how to prevent STIs. According to the Asking about Sex and Growing up by Joanna Cole a child's interpretation of things is better when the child's parent or guardian is explaining the concept to them.

The Rates... Are they True??

To get a big-picture take on sex ed's effectiveness, Cavazos-Rehg and her colleagues compared curriculum's in 24 states with birth rates for girls ages 15 to 17 in those states between 1997 and 2005.

They found wide variation over the study period, from one birth in every 100 New Hampshire girls each year to three or four births for every 100 Arkansas girls.

In general, the more districts in a state that covered how to use a condom, how to prevent HIV and other sex ed topics, the fewer teen births there were, the researchers report in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

Boys and Girls It's Story Time

So I was reading a story on Sexetc.org the other day about a girl who asked her teacher what an orgasm is. This girl was 9wonder  old. I started thinking to myself if a 9 year old is wondering what a orgasm is why don't elementar schools offer sex education. I didn't get my first sex education class until i was in 8th grade and by that time I already knew what a condom was and what an STD was. 

Teachers always say If you have a question there is probably someone else in the classroom that has the same question. So I wonder are a lot of elementary kids wondering what an orgasm is. Is it time to start telling them the birds and the bees earlier then 8th grade?

But My Parents Aren't Home

According to the Asking about Sex and Growing up by Joanna Cole a child's interpretation of things is better when the child's parent or guardian is explaining the concept to them. This might be true but according to Catalyst.com, families that have two parents, about 57.5% of those families both parents are in the work force.
