Sex Ed

If I were to teach sex ed I would go about it in a different way then when I was taught. In highschool we were taught sex ed only in grsde 9. I found it reallyakward because it was boys and girls.It seemed like the teacher was rushing to cover both sexes. I also didnt like that there was a heavy focus on drugs. It seems like from grade 5 onward there was constant disscussion about drugs. I heard stories ranging from people peeling their skin off because they thought they were an orange, all the way to videos of coke addicts showing their scars. When I was told about the lady trying to peel her skin off in grade 5 because of drugs, it was engrained in my brain that I would never touch them.So if I were to teach sex ed in a highschool setting I would keep it segregated and teach it much like this class. I would focus not so much on sexual intercourse but all the elements that are apart of sex and sexuality. I would have to say that this class has been the most beneficial human sexuality course I have been in. I believe that the disscussion of homosexuality needs to be disscussed in highschool. There is so much bullying related to it that there needs to be talks about it in a sex ed class rather then just not talking about it. Because I believe that is only making the problem worse. I think if I taught sex ed I would be able bring something new to the table that my teachers didnt.
