Do you think if Sex Ed taught a more detailed description of pregnancy that less

kids would be having sex? I'm just thinking why no one ever tells you about the swelling, hemmorhoids, and sticky discharge panties. It seems like a lot of girls think "awe you're havin' a baby" and in reality I'm in a constant state of breathlessness from blood pressure and I can not even reach my behind to wipe it hardly. I got bits of boogers coming out my coot with specks of blood in them. My belly and behind look like a New York road map. I'm just saying... if they knew the half of what being pregnant was like it wouldn't be "awe".... It'd be "ewe"!
 
Possibly. We use to get so much "life" information from the women in our lives and that isn't as readily available any more. I think we assume since information is out there (t.v., internet), teens will look for it and learn it. I think I was pretty knowledgeable about pregnancy but it didn't stop me.
 
Then they could add in the birth - pooing yourself in front of people, vaginal tearing and then the stitches. Or a C-section and what really happens. Fun stuff like that.

Give them the full story and take the mystery out if it. They might be more reluctant. But then kids will be kids and will still want to have sex - we could just hope they are a bit smarter about it.
 
I agree with that. I think part of the issue is that girls are afraid to talk to their parents about birth control to a degree. If parents would go get their kids pills/condoms,I feel less pregnancy would happen. Sometimes,accidents do happen. I don't understand the planned pregnacy at such a young age,no way. That's just wrong. That's where I agree that schools do need to go into a deeper explanation of what pregnancy is like. If nothing else,have a class just for the girls and teach them that. It's not right how uneducated our school system is,no. It's also not right for parents to know their kids are having sex,and not getting them a type of birth control,which is why I agree with Obama's plan to sink more money into actual birth control,and not abortion (the abortion one,I don't agree with at all,unless it's a medically necessary thing).
 
ha ha ha ha God love you girl, you took me back.
Hey if we passed on all the joys, the human race would come to a halt!
Think about the life of a girl:

Born
9 good years with no big issues
Pre Menstrual for maybe 2 or 3 years: Hormones rioting
Menstuate for maybe 35 or 40 years: cramps; mess; pain
Get pregnant: Hormones riot; Epesiotomies: Sutures: Mastitis Baby brain
Finish baby years, get maybe 7 or 8 good ones
Pre Menopausal: Hormones Riot AGAIN Baby brain returns
Finish Menopause: Maybe 4 good years: Grandchildren Arrive
Grandchildren grow up and you then die

Honestly, who'd be a woman?????

AND THAT'S WHY NO ONE TELLS YOU THE TRUTH~~
 
when i was in school the sex ed was rubbish this was about 13 years ago now and there was one lesson where they basically said don't get pregnant and showed us several different types off contraception which we passed round the room and that was it. Too me and my classmates it didn't explain much at the time the teacher was a bit old and i think embarrassed to be teaching us these things. I am not sure how they teach it these days but i would hope they would have a more detailed teaching of it, that would really look in to teenage pregnancy how it would affect your life, sti's and how common they actually are these days and yes a detailed description of pregnancy and labour that would perhaps put all the teenagers out there off the idea and having children so early.
 
<big hug> (You should like you needed one.)

I think maybe so, but most teens think THEY will not get pregnant.
And I also think if they could spend a week or two with a newborn it would help too.
Then again, I treasured my babies' diapers and feedings and watching them sleep and gurgle.

Good luck.
 
The best lesson for teens is to see first hand how babies affect ALL aspects of your life.

My sister is 16 and she has decided that kids are not her thing because of her experience with me and my kids. She actually took part in the delivery and was completely grossed out!! (i tried to warn her!)

Not to mention the first hand look she's getting on what it takes to raise a child! Vomit, diapers, crying, illness... not fun for anyone, but a great way to deter teens from pregnancy!
 
yes. that and a more detailed description of what happens when you have an STD.
i know in my school, they taught us about the anatomy of the sex organs and then a BRIEF description of AIDS. i think that if we had a more in detail talk about pregnancy and the side affects and grossness of STDs alot less kids would have sex. =)
 
Well your description gave me a good laugh. I am 14 weeks along...what things to look forward to!! I was really freaked out by the sex ed talk I had back in 6th grade and it was really only about getting your period. Most young girls aren't trying to get pregnant so I don't think that kind of talk would really help. The girls are just having sex because of peer pressure. For those girls on tyra banks who say they are ready for a baby at 14 and their boyfriend of 2 months will love them and take care of them - that conversation might do some good.
 
I agree completely with what your saying and wish there were others who felt the same way. Pregnancy is not fun and labor is not either, nor is a c-section. I think that teens would be a bit different if they could have a taste of the show The Baby Borrowers. I loved that show and it definitely helped those teens know what they wanted to get into. Best of luck with your pregnancy. XCST, we're not saying that teen mothers are bad mothers. We're saying that teens shouldn't have to be mothers. I believe they can be great mothers, but they shouldn't have to be. There are ways to prevent it, they should have be having fun, going to school, getting good grades and getting ready for life. As I'm sure you know, motherhood is a full time job most people (even adults) aren't truly ready for but make themselves ready out of necessity. We're not bashing you for being a teen mom. Just hopeful that others can prevent it if they want to.
 
i def think they should give more detailed description on pregnancy birth labour etc and i think it may stop them havin children as young.
