As someone who did NOT have Sex Ed class (I have no idea why) I am overly thankful for my best friends Aunt (who was about 25 when we were in High School) and she certainly educated us. There was no one else. Now I know this will make you laugh but this is really true, when we were in about 3rd grade we were under the impression that you could get pregnant by holding hands and we certainly were convinced then that boys did have cooties and this was why. Her Aunt gave us a ride every morning to school and once in the car she would ask, what questions do you two have for me today, and boy did we have them and she told us the truth. It did not however stop a pregnancy, yes my friend ended up pregnant as a senior. In my opinion it is not only important to teach Sex Ed, it is also important to pair that up with relationship advice or information. What I mean by that is we all know that there is a time that things get "out of hand" so to speak and I think there needs to be "advice" on how to back out of it, how to say no, explain what they are feeling, even if the other person insist how much they love you and how they will take care of you etc. etc. I am not trying to man bash here, it works both ways. Honestly I think we teach our children how to say NO to a drug dealer and mean it but we don't really teach them how to say no to sex and mean it. Plus they want to know "why", I have boys and I tell ya they had a lot of questions for me, I answered them honestly and I also made sure to sort of remove myself personally, meaning I really wanted to tell them something like "ok if you start having sex, it will fall off and run away and you will NEVER find it, leaving you to sit down the rest of your life to go to the bathroom" (that was myself as a Mom talking) but I couldn't do that and I didn't. Plus do not lie, someone else will educate them and probably not how you want it. Since I do not have girls alls I can say about that is I do have nieces and if they asked me something, I would answer.
