Honestly, I don't think it matters at all what sex Ed teaches or what the parents teach. Kids will find out about sex from peers or movies or tv shows or boyfriends. And the sex Ed teachers could say you are all gonna die if you have sex and kids are still gonna do it regardless. If they wanna have sex they're gonna have sex. I think it matters if the parents have open minded conversations ABOUT sex not teaching about sex just talking. At least they know to be somewhat protected.

*steps up onto soapbox* America puts sex and sexuality into such a negative light. Overseas violence is more heavily blocked on tv and sex isn't as censored. This is what's wrong with our society, kids grow up with the mentality that sex is dirty, don't receive proper sexual education, and wind up with STI's or with an unplanned pregnancy. It's important that children learn about their body parts and differences at a young age, not necessarily needing to know what specifically sexual intercourse is, but when the time is right the correct information is crucial.

Look, don't sweat the small stuff, the 11 year old, learned about sex from his sex ed class!
