I belive that it is the parents job to talk to their kids about sex but n\most are too afraid to bring it up. mine thought that by educating me b\about sex that they were promoting sex, so i had to find out about it from school and other places. Which is why school has to teach kids about it because some parents wont man up and take that responsibilty on and have the talk.

No it is def the parents job. Just like you teach them everything else. How to take a bath, dress yourself, color, etc. Schools don't teach this the parents do. So why teach about sex??? that is a natural part of life - just like anyother part of growing up.
I also believe sex is wrong outside of marriage, but I'm not so dumb to think it is not a reality. If the time ever came to address sex outside of marriage I would be very understanding and use it as a teaching time...like I should as a mom!

SEX ED STRONG SUBJECT I BELIEVE PARENTS SHOULD BE THE ONE TALKING TO THERE KIDS ABOUT SEX NOT ANYONE ELSE...SOME KIDS ARE AFRAID TO TALK TO THERE PARENTS ABOUT IT AND THEN END UP WITH DISEASES AND YOUNG PREGNANCY....IF YOU DON'T TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT IT THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET PREGNANT OR AN STD..SCHOOLS I BELIEVE HAVE NO BUISINESS TEACHING KIDS ABOUT SEX THATS THE PARENTS JOB..NO MATTER WHAT...I DISAGREE WITH SCHOOLS TEACHING SEX ED..I KNOW WHEN MY KIDS MAKE THAT DECISION THEY CAN COME TO ME I WILL DISCOURAGE BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAKE SURE MY KIDS ARE SAFE..I AM NOT AFRAID TO BUY KIDS CONDOMS AND BIRTH CONTROL....BUT THEY ARE STILL TOO YOUNG RIGHT NOW.
