I think children should find out about condems as soon as they learn about sex. The sad thing is, they will all probably learn about it way before we want them to. References :
In my country we don’t teach our kids about sex until it’s time for the girl to get married which is around 14 years old. Then we give her a book telling her what sex is. And we don’t have sex ed class in schools. As for the boys I’m not sure what they get taught. I just know that’s how we treat the girls. References :
I think 10 is a pretty good age to start teaching safe sex. I think school should also teach parenting and financial classes. My school starts teaches safe sex and abstinence in the 7th grade. but kids will do what they want. I’m 16 and have a one yr old girl and another on the way, sure i made some mistakes but i don’t regret it because my school offers parenting classes to students and financial aid as well as educational financial classes. because of this i have stayed in high school and my boyfriend has a wonderful job which gets us along. we even have our own house (in his parents name till he turns 18). but the school can only help so much and no matter how much they teach, students still need help at home and they need to make their own decisions.

in the uk children go to a higher school when they are about 11 that is about the right time as you dont want playground talk when younger children are about References :
About 13 or 14 I don’t know if the rise of atheism has to do with kids being sexuallly active younger and younger about 9th grade I think. I think it’s great that your teacher wants to bring up this issue to the school board. References :
My kids began asking at age 10 what they were and what the purpose was. I told them. It only took a few moments. I spent years discussing with them the consequences of teenage pregnancies showing when opportunity arised via actual individuals in the town, media, movies, etc… the effects on the lives of those who are careless. I then spoke with them at length and continue to do so about Sex etc…
I am glad that I started at an early age. All of them are currently Abstaining by choice and not fear. They feel proud of their choice. They have a healthy outlook upon sex and don’t view it as a dirty thing or something to be ashamed of. We answer any and all questions they may have.
It was a difficult topic to address initially but every bit as important as teaching them about stranger danger and drugs.
I agree that the 5th grade is when they should be introduced to the topic of their changing bodies. Someone will teach them and it is much better if they learn accurate information.
A limited amount of info should be taught at that age but reinforced and broadened as they grow thru the years. References :
Now to all of you men out there, don’t you think that it varies with gender. Personally i wouldnt want my daughter to even know why she would need a condomat anytime untill the beginnig of high school, and only then because i would want to make sure she didnt get pregnant IF she had sex. References : personal feeling, my father’s consensus.
I was about 10 when we learned about it in school. the only issue was, noly the boys learned abotu condoms, the girls just learned about pads and tampons.
10 wouldn’t be bad- but at that age we should stress telling kids to wait and not just to choose.
I think kids really need hear the unbiased fact and potential risks.
also I think there has to be something for LGBTQ students- they need to use protection to.
and the ‘rise of atheism’ has nothing to do with more sex. read history books many people had sex before marriage and at young ages- they either faked virginity or hid it from parents, clergy, ect
but if you read history you find out that even clergy who preached against sex were having it left and right References :
I know someone who fathered a child when he was 11. 10 is probably too late!
References :
I was taught about condoms at 14….but perhaps 12 would be better now. I definately don’t think 10 is a suitable age.
References :
10 is a good age.
Where I am at the school system has a sex education class that starts in the 5th grade.
References :
10 may be a little too young IMO. 6th grade is a perfect time to start teaching sex education.
