when i was in middle school it was required for everyone to have sex ed but during high school its not required in fact i didnt have it once in high school. i still find myself asking questions well for one the lack of education and secondly i didnt have a mom around to teach me. if there was a required class then i would not really be wondering these things. i especially think the should hand out condoms or provide test and birth control at the school. i know when i graduated there was about 17 girls that had a baby/ havig their first/ or having another kid. and there was only about 300 at the most that graduated in my class.
