Am just curious as to whether many girls nowadays are excluded from sex education lessons at school because their parents are unhappy about it?
Are talks by parents usually given at a later stage before marriage (maybe the ‘essentials’ rather than the VERY detailed lessons we get taught in schools over here).. There seem to be a lot of myths floating about on GS which has made me wonder..
(My intention is not to offend or attack anyone and I know it’s a very sensitive subject so please no nastiness or derailing of the thread)..
In my opinion, adult Muslim should know about this whole sex education thing. As Quran itself mention the punishment of adultery, this mean Muslim should aware of the process not in term of bad way, but in the sense of information. My second thought also suggest that every Muslim should also read books on the etiquettes of marital life (that also include meaningful information). I would feel uncomfortable at school level, I think parents should take this responsibility on their shoulder instead of some random person.
My mom did not talk to me about it! Whatever information I had was from my friends and cousins. I think first hand knowledge is way way better than second hand knowledge. Now as a mom myself I think it's important that my kids should have the awareness as to decide what is right and wrong!
My son attended the sex education class at school and I'm planning to do the same with my daughter.
Parents never said a word about it. I guess they just assumed I knew all abt it since we had sex education in school.
I don't agree with parents who don't let their kids attend the sex education classes at school, it's very important!!!
I didnt attend the sex ed class in grade 6 but it was a mandatory subject by the name of “health and well being” (or something like that) in the first 2-3 years of highschool…
I learnt most things from the subject and it REALLY helped.. even though i was still quite blonde and never understood menstrual cycles (what on earth is day 14?! only recently just mastered that… ).
My mum spoke about everything to me but sex… we discussed periods and boobs and all… but no sex talk. Which was completely ok with me.
I think its very important for young kids and teenagers to learn about this stuff. Not just so they are aware of what to expect when they get married, but because they should know what is happening to their body and also know what is normal and what is not. This is part of health education and not just sex education.
My parents let me participate in the classes in school, I guess so they didnt have to talk to me about it. Im actually glad I participated, because until grade 5 I thought you could get pregnant by kissing :s My youngest phupo told me about periods, and then later my mom did as well. But there was no other discussions from her side.
I would say its very important and I had one of those books you know for girls that teach you about all that stuff.
My high school sex ed was non-existent because the teacher would always be absent but I guess it didn't matter since we knew it through friends/parents and such.
I got taught in Junior school , in year 6 when I was 10/11. Ours was really explicit though , the teacher made us watch a video about how it's done (real people not on cartoons) and we could not look away. Those lessons went on for like a month. We had to do work sheets too and got questioned on the things learnt.
I think here ( UK) you can't really get your kids to hide away from it as in you could make them not do it in junior school but once they go into High School you can't do much. It's a covered topic in the year 7/8 syllabus and a part of the GCSE Biology exams.
^^ (shocked) I wouldn't be comfortable with watching movies of sex before at least teenage years. Isn't 10/11 too young for something so explicit? How did u find it?
Not only education but I am also for Medical Checkup before marriage. Girl and Guy should know what they are stepping into.
To me, knowing about (any possible) health issues before getting into relationship is far more important that "oh we are dating to get to know each other"
For example, if one person has Thalassemia minor, as long as he/she does not marry another person with minor, he/she is completely healthy but unknowingly many couples do not care about these things before getting into relationship and their next generations end up suffering.
