What was your sex education like at school?

it's is/was the same in my school in Glasgow as at your school.

If you are from Aberdeen do they have to make it clear that having any form of sexual relations with a Sheep is not allowed ;)(nah just kidding).

Seems to me that Americas view of sex is completley different to those in the UK/Europe. To many religious, old fashioned people in America for my liking.

We started learning about puberty in year 5, when we were 9 and 10 years old. The teachers didn't say much, they just separated the boys from the girls, showed us some videos and gave us a ton of booklets.

Then in year 8 we started learning about STDs. We also practised putting condoms on dildos. But we got those "flavoured" condoms so we were too busy swapping and smelling them to take this lesson seriously. I got vanilla. Hahaha! The chavettes kept putting them over their hands, and some were even sucking them. That was just stupid, because they were covered in some kind of slimy lube. Then they gave us some MORE booklets.

I'm not sure exactly how many booklets I have had, but I know I didn't keep them. I can't remember how I got rid of them though.

I live in England by the way.

Edit: Oh really? Lol!

Our sex education is very good. We have health class in 8th, 9th, and 11th grade and we learn about all the types of birth control, how to get them, how to use them. Everyone's least favorite day in the 11th grade class is the day focused around showing pictures of STD on people. We always have someone from the local teen clinic come in to talk and frequently there will be booths set up outside the cafeteria by the teen clinic where we can ask questions and such. The class also stresses the importance of being in a healthy relationship and talking to your partner about sex. One day is devoted to doing skits about how to say no if someone is pressuring you.

I don't know how many people at my school have gotten pregnant, but it's very low. Only a couple out of over 2000. The couple I know about was using birth control, too.

I'm from London and I personally got proper sex education from the age of 13. At 9/10 they covered the basics; as in, where babies come from, periods, errections.

The high school sex education was okay, there where a few things that could of been improved on. It was pretty basic. We learnt about contraception, STD's (pictures and all sorts), got quizzed on when we think It's the "right time" to have sex in a relationship (I mean, I proper two page quiz) and where also quizzed on different types of sexual encounters we might face in the future. I would of learnt a lot more If I wasn't sitting on the same table as the horniest boys in the year. Every PHSE lesson, they wrote on a piece of paper the sexual acts I should perform on them to make the lesson more interesting.

It was actually pretty crappy. We got given a puberty talk when we were 10 and then we didn't really get an actual sex talk but in year 7 we covered it a bit in biology. The only talk we really had was last year in year 9 when they gave us sheets about where to get condoms, testing for STD's, pregnancy tests etc. and we were shown the types of contraception and told a bit about STD's and that was it really. The thing is, they gave this talk to a bunch of 14 year olds most of who had already lost their virginity or done some other sexual stuff (okay maybe not most but about half, not including me) so in my opinion they gave us the talk a bit late, plus i already knew everything she talked to us about apart from where to find the clinics but i could have googled that myself if i wanted to find out. They should have given us the talk earlier when we were about 12, just what i think anyway.

I'm from Liverpool, England. :-)

Edit- I knew basically everything there is to know about sex by the time i was 12 just from looking it up myself or reading about it on here. I was giving 16 year olds advice about contraception and other sex related issues on yahoo answers when i was just 11 haha.

lets see, in 4th grade we had the period talk but that was it. In 6th grade they gave us a 2 day talk on what happens in sex. they didnt mention std's or contraception or anything...i guess they thought six graders didnt have sex. Im in 10th grade now, and we havent had a talk yet. We probably will soon in health though, but the school wont let teachers go into too much detail. They show ROTC STD pics though. My friend goes to school in another county and i know they put condoms on bananas.

I guess my county thinks we are all innocent. Well they'd be surprised with some kids. I wish they'd give the talk like your school did, it would definitely help.

I say they could desire to enhance on the intercourse Ed slightly. specific, study the factors, STD's, etc. yet practice not in elementary terms abstinence, yet risk-free intercourse!!!! you be attentive to, condoms and the pill? i think of it would be a REQUIRED direction too. it would be as much as the mummy and dad to try this, yet because of the fact that as you stated some young infants do not obtain any style of education in it, and land up being pregnant or being a father with the Clap. i'm an atheist teen too, and that i've got your perspectives on it. and that i did not choose a discern telling me it replaced into of the devil or against God to do it. I in basic terms positioned 2 and a pair of at the same time, observed that if I did a woman, she could get pregnant and that i ought to get some $hit i will't even think of of, and the place might I be? So i'm not doing it until eventually i hit upon a woman that i myself do love. yet maximum young infants are not like that. they desire it, they're going to get it. With the pushing of Christian morals, f*ck that. it incredibly is secular, that's a central authority organisation. they have inner maximum faculties to coach that stuff.

Year 5 or 6 (age 9/10/11) we had the basic period talk, year 8 (age 12/13) we had a more detailed period talk, year 10 (age 14/15) we had the babies/birth/reprodoction etc talk, year 12 (age 16/17) we had the contraception/statistics talk

I wasin eighth grade, and it was basiclly the stupidest thing because they didn't talk aboit sex at all, the only thing that talked about is like different age groups, all the different body parts, and like the whole process of when the baby is being formed.

They didn't talk about how you get pregnant, preventing it, stds or anything. I was very disapointed.

Oh I live in philly.

My sex education at school was absolutely rubbish, I really found it shocking that I am now 16 and the only thing I was ever told about was periods. I went and talked to my mum (we have a good realtionship) and she told me everything I needed to know. I also found a lot out from the internet, escpeailly from this site

yahoo answers FTW :D
