We already had a question from a video we watched. “What are the 3 choices a pregnant teen has?” I crossed out 3, and only gave two. What should I do when we have to learn about contraception and how to use it? I don’t want to learn this stuff, I had an option not to, but my parents are pro-choice and have no opinion on contraception so I didn’t ask them to be let out of health class.
 
You should learn the stuff, get a good grade, and then move on. And then once you have, you may make an informed decision about contraception. Doubt your decision will change. Your belief need not be threatened by KNOWING how contraception works.

Let me clarify, using contraceptives is mortally sinful. However, learning about them isn’t sin at all.
 
There was a saint in the early church. He learnt everything he could about pagan religions so he could refute them when asked and in his teaching.
 
And you aren’t going to do yourself any favors hiding your head in the sand like an ostrich.

If your beliefs are well-founded, they will stand up to opposing beliefs.
 
I would file a complaint about the third option even being available for ethical reasons to the school. Get all of your pro life friends on board.
 
Should I? I only know one pro-life student at school, as I’m not really social. Most sex-ed programs teach that. I live in an athiest/agnostic dominated area, where sexual immorality is accepted.
 
Just go with flow and don’t think about it too much in regards of what they are teaching you and block it out. If they have any tests than try your best to not violate your conscience. Maybe if you asked your parents that you don’t want to attend then they might do it on account on how you feel about it.

I think you’re overthinking - mole hill → mountain kind of thing. On face value, there’s a question about three options that has an answer. Based on what you’ve written, there’s nothing that implies the three answers are equally acceptable options. The truth is, abortion is an option to that pregnant teen. That’s the way the question gets answered. In reality, it is your job (and mine, and everyone else’s) to demonstrate - not just tell - why that option isn’t a good one.

As others have said, learn the course material. Don’t use the faith as an excuse to get out of something you’re obligated to, even if you’re a little uneasy about it.
 
Firstly, good for you to take a stand against murdering children.

As others said there is nothing wrong about learning how contraception works, but you should ask the teacher at an appropriate time about all of the harmful side effects as there are many.

Also ask that Natural Family planning be taught as that is a wonderful topic. I learnt more about sexual reproduction in a one hour NFP class than I ever did in school.
