Lack of SexEd not being in schools is not a problem because there are many ways to learn about sex. Parents, friends and the internet, sex is not a class to take but one of life's core concepts. Also, the strain extra classes will put on students is going to have a negative impact on their wellbeing and overall education. Biology classes already have chapters that explain sex, contraception and sexual health. There is no need for extra classes about sexual education.

Points

I agree

This is true

what if the child is a lonely orphan

Yes

We think that if you talk about sex ed in schools kids and teenagers will learn alot about it and they would not be ashame od themselves, their bodies and everything thats actually normal but sociaty is constantly telling them that its not.

The lonely orphan has imternet

Sex isn't something you learn from a book, there isn't that much information that you can have in these classes. But sure, what example can you give that SexEd teaches you something that you cannot learn from life in general?

Sex is still a taboo topic in most countries and families. A lot of people don’t have access to internet and even if they do there is a lot of misinformation especially about sex which can be quite harmful to a lot of young teens that can lead to problems in the later life. And finally if they talk about sex with friends it’s usually in a quite toxic way since non of those teens are educated enough. THAT IS WHY WE NEED SEX ED.

I agree.

Siuuuu

Siuuuuuu

human beings are sexual,emotional,social creatures. Safe sex is a normal part of one's life.By removing sex ed in schools, pupils won't know how to practice safe sex, or anything about contraseptions, masturbating or how to recondnise abusive behavior such as pressuring in sexual behavior. Consentual sex and how to say no directly impacts person's safety.

Internet is full of informations that might not be true at all, especially if we are talking about sex ed. Sadly, a lot of young people learn about sex from wrong resources. Maybe some teenagers don't have anyone to talk about this topic.

The way you frame it makes it sound like it's normal for students to talk to their parents and friends about sex but literally no one does that and no one wants to do that

Isn't it better for children to learn from good resources such as professionals than the internet. It doesn't have to be a subject, it can be a set if workshop.

I haven't seen in any biology book from school that talks about mental health related to sex. It's not only about the body and physical things itself, it's about mind and connection too. Plus, a lot of parents are still not talking enough with their kids about sex because it's still a taboo. Also, how could more knowledge about sex have negative impact? I think it's the opposite, how can a lack of knowledge have a negative impact on human wellbeing instead? Sex ed in schools isn't taken seriously

Parents, friends and the Internet aren't a necessarily good sources of information, especially the Internet. The Internet is filled with untrue information about lots of topics, especially about sex because everyone can write and "teach" on the Internet. School is the best source of education because it's a part of formal education.

Well, I would like to have been taught about consent before getting in situations with dubious consent

We agree. There are already programs in Croatia created to educate students about sex. Also, there are certain topics concerning sex that are already part of the school curriculum (such as reproduction, STDs and contraception) In addition, young people are naturally curious about sex and get this information on the internet often.
