Sex education is a constant development that begins at birth and continues throughout life. During this process, it is crucial to lay a solid foundation for sexual health. There are many factual and non-factual opinions on the topic of sex education. This topic is constantly discussed and widely publicized in our society via mass media and some of the most influential people in our lives. Sex education goes beyond sex; it is about sexual development, reproduction, intimacy, gender relations and self-respect. From my personal experience, the foundations of healthy sex education should start at home. As parents, guardians and family members, we should be the primary instructors in determining the basics of our child's sex education. On a daily basis, as parents, we must take every opportunity given to us to teach this subject to our children. This should be taught from the earliest stages of a child's life. We need to teach them how to respond to appropriate affection, how to show love, and how to respond to different types of relationships. This is taught to them when their parents talk to them, change or choose their favorite clothes, play with them, and teach them their body parts. As they progress from children to adolescents, they are constantly learning about their sexuality. However, parents and guardians are uncomfortable talking about sex or providing necessary information about sex or sex education. Parents and guardians are either too embarrassed when it comes to extreme topics about sex, or they are afraid to provide too much information that will cause their children to act on what they have been told, or all just too shy not to know...... middle of paper ......l parent - with in-depth sex education classes, but that shouldn't be their sole responsibility. Finally, homosexuality is another important topic that is discussed at home but not at school in Sex Ed. Everyone argues that sex education should be taught in schools, but schools don't talk about it. homosexuality, even though adolescents are exposed to homosexuals on a daily basis. At this volatile stage in a teenager's life, being rejected by peers and institutions can be devastating. Why is sex education in schools so important when they are afraid to talk about homosexuality? I am convinced more than ever that schools should not have the responsibility to teach our children about sexuality, it is our responsibility. In the midst of such alarming circumstances, why are you not convinced that sex education is not the school's responsibility, but yours? ??
