I think it puts you in a difficult place, your parents have raised you with conservative morals and then expect you to survive in a modern secular place of indoctrination!
 
Actually this what you mention is probably the best advice to say back to them, very modern and easy to bring up :3 . I think ive used it before in highschool once or twice!
 
Yes I think that is a good idea but some of the girls I know are a bit obsessed about it I think. I sometimes just try to get us talking about something else or make an excuse to go.
 
My mistake; I was going from a poor source. The correct number for the US is 20%.
 
Can you give the source? That number is still pretty high and I am seriously wondering what they consider sexual assault.

Sex ed doesn’t exist to indoctrinate your kids into “the gay” like you seem to think. It exists to talk about things like periods, genital health, and proper sexual behaviors that aren’t dangerous to the people engaging in them. You wanna know why they exist? Some parents didn’t teach their kids. Some still don’t. It’s necessary to teach people about these things when they’re just starting to deal with them and if the parents won’t, the state will. Sexual health can’t be dropped entirely if parents don’t teach it, it’s too important.

^^^This, 100% this. It also talks about the…wait for it…dangers and possible outcomes of pre-marital sex.

My wife is high school biology teacher, and has been for 20 years. This is not on her curriculum. This is covered in high school/middle school/Jr High health class, not biology here in the states.

OP, if your parents want to wait until you’re 18, then so be it. It’s their call, but IMHO they’re doing you a “head in the sand” diservice. You’re body is going to start changing WAYYYY before 18.

Sex Ed isn’t about how to have sex, and pushing you towards it…it’s quite the opposite, so I’m not sure what your commitment to wait until marriage. Like was said above, it’s learning about your changing body…which, like I said, is going to go through before you’re 18.

Are your parents going to wait until you’re 18 to talk to you about a woman’s monthly cycle? I mean that’s just one topic of “sex ed”.

I’m going to ignore your rude gif.

Here in the UK I learned the female and male reproductive organs around age 14 to 15. I am astonished you are saying American kids don’t. It’s not medical science. It’s basic biology.

And perhaps your sex ed is super duper clean, no endorsement of contraception , no endorsement of abortion as a valid choice, lots of encouragement to be chaste, no endorsement of LGBTQ lifestyle as a perfectly normal option…lucky you

:roll_eyes:

Where did I say that? I was 14 turning 15 when I was a freshman…where I had freshman health…which had, as part of the curriculum, sex ed.

Actually after I thought about it, I remember having sex ed in middle school as an 8th grader, so I could have been 13 when I first had it.

I’ll ignore your snarky “luck you” 😉
 
Yes @TC3033, sex ed class is the only place a girl would learn about getting a period, etc. There’s absolutely no other way to get this information!!

Can you ask your parents to review the curriculm before making that decision?

While I agree that some schools are not teaching age appropriately, I remember middle school sex ed as a time when the girls and boys were split up into two different classes and the focus was on the changes that would or already started to happen in your body, etc., from a developmental standpoint. This is the “sex ed” that all kids, regardless of background need, as its about the care of your own body, physically and emotionally (there is reassurance in knowing what you are going through is ‘normal’).

On the other hand, if the class curricula involves discussion of gender fluidity, i agree with your folks.
If the class is giving out condoms to 13 year olds, I agree with your parents.
 
Did I say that?

From what I read, OP’s parents want her to wait until she’s 18 to learn about “sex stuff”. Apparently there may be a misunderstanding somewhere.🤷‍♂️

The sex ed classes I was excused from were a joke. I missed nothing, except a discussion of the different slang for “penis.” By the third day of eighth-grade sex ed, lots of other students were developing “religious objections” and joining me.

But let’s say your classes are better and talk about things like STDs and pregnancy. You still aren’t missing anything; you can look up a reputable (make sure it’s reputable!) web site like that of the CDC for information on sex, contraception, etc.

You should learn about your body. If you are like most teens, you are going to have sexual feelings at some point, and learning about what’s normal could actually keep you from sin and also prevent you from feeling guilty when you don’t have anything to be guilty about. I hope your parents can give you some good guidance.

Finally, when you are an adult and thinking about marriage, it’s not a bad idea to talk to your obgyn, who can check out your reproductive health and give you some advice (if you want it) on making your first time having sex an enjoyable experience.
 
Thank you all for your advice, I read them all. I did speak to mummy and she said not to worry because they will tell me anything I need to know to stay safe.

I dont want to know about sex stuff. I dont even look if people kiss because its icky and unhygienic. I know sex is a sin before I get married so I won’t do it. When I get married I can learn what I need to then. I am going to stay away from anyone talking about sex stuff or on tv. Mummy said I should be very proud stay pure and it makes the Lord happy. She said my communion dress is a symbol of my purity so I wear it to church every sunday because I am proud to follow the Lords teaching.
 
I can’t lie, I’m not sure such a puritanical attitude is very healthy in the long term. It feels…wrong, somehow. Just be careful.
