Sex education?!
Question: Which one of the following four methods should we employ in regards to sex education? And PLEASE! Do NOT tell me that these four options are to broad!
1. Abstinence only
2. Safe Sex only
3. A combination of abstinence and safe sex
4. No sex education at all. I mean, isn't it the parents job anyways to teach their kids about sex?

3. a combination...kids should be told about sex education at a younger age and many parents think that if they dont tell there kids about the birds and the bee;s then it will stop them doing anything. Usually its the ones who arent told my parents that end up getting pregnant at a young age.
Abstinence only!I'm doing a good job at it since November 2007

3.
I would say number 3, but it's down to both parents & teachers to educate children about sex.

3,
And a lot of times a parent is too uncomfortable to talk about that sort of thing so they sometimes never bring it up at all which is a good thing theres teachers to also talk about it
I'd go with option 3. "Abstinence-only' programs have been shown to not work. The kids still have sex, and still have babies.
"Safe sex only" programs don't give them the option of abstinence. Some WILL figure it out, but the ones who are susceptible to peer pressure may get snowed into having sex if you don't present this as a normal, viable option.
And there's a name for the parents who insist on no sex ed at all. They're soon known as "grand parents".
realistically i will choose 3.. combo of abstinence and safe sex options.
1. not realistic
2. makes it seem like it is encouraged, expected and they may feel pressure
3. realistic
4. just because ppl have children does NOT make them responsible and/or positive parents
I would lean towards the third option. a lot of parents do not talk about sex, so it is up to the schools. I am glad my parents were open about it. Got my sex-ed at home at a young age.
You left out the most important one, monogamy! If people would be more particular and loyal to "the one" , less diseases would transmitted. Public sex education is a good thing because in the "old days" it was a no-no to talk about. This left the teens too curious. So they tried to help as best they could. Our generation of parents are more willing to talk to their teens. My parents weren't raised that way, so it was somewhat harder to address the issue. It's a lot easier for me with my daughters, because it's not been all hushed while I was growing up. But, if your choices are all I have, I pick #3- a combination.
probably 3, but with an emphasis on the physical and emotional ramifications of sex, even with speakers who suffered terrible depression from having sex ect.
There are so many people who suffer emotionaly and physically (sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy) we should get some of these people to come to schools and speak about why they think it would have been better to abstain AND in what ways they suffered. A woman who got pregnant even though she used a condom?
A man who got an STD even though they practiced "safe sex".
People who suffered emotional trauma.
Adults whose emotional trauma stayed with them for many years?
At least get video commentaries by people like this.
Let everyone know what happens when you have sex.
That would be a good program.
