Why is nobody teaching the teenagers on here anything about sex, pregnancy or relationships?

Every day I see the same type questions.

( Parapharasing many questions I've seen )

"Does he like me?"

"Why doesn't he/she text back?"

"We had sex but now he/she doesn't respond, why?"

" Is this just my period?"

& of course the most common

"COULD I BE PREGNANT?" In all it's forms including " We used the pull out method, could she be pregnant?". "I forgot several of my pills & had unprotected sex...". " If we have sex during my period can I get pregnant?"...etc.

I'm seeing these constantly & have to wonder why nobody has bothered explaining this stuff to them. Are their parents not around at all? Do they not know how to use Google? Are they just not listening?

What's going on here & why aren't these kids being properly educated in such things?

    Parents don't teach to "protect" their "babies" (we can see how well that's working) and many schools are forced into abstinence only education. Even if they're not, few schools actually cover anything beyond STDs and contraceptives. There's no mention of healthy relationships, healthy sexual activity, pregnancy, etc.

    However regardless of the teacher's and the parents inaction every single teen on this site has access to the internet. What's also on the internet is pages dedicated to healthy sexual activity and educating others which anyone can visit. No one as an excuse for ignorance if they have the internet.

    All those questions are by internet beings called trolls. They purposely ask those questions, knowing it annoys the people who ask real questions and regularly use this board. They are not serious. Most of them are lying. Just report them and move on.

    Most schools (but not all) teach teenagers about this stuff.

    They're not your children so why worry? Lay off. And its also odd that you like to browse through the adolescent section and only focus on the sexual questions. Creepy much? Worry about yourself, its not your life.
