webslaves last blog post..The conclusion of MBM 2008 and the Cebu Blog Contest

…I know that the religious people would really disagree for the implementation of sex eduction curricula because mainly it affects morality… but the problem is they failed to realized what is the main caused of moral degradation in our country… Mores is really different from folkways as sociology is concerned… I believe that sex education should be taught to the students (starting 5th grade or high school). Because students spend a lot of time in school rather than in home. Our parents are so busy enough to earn for a living and they only have a little time for their kids, especially that we are now in “Industrial Society” as what Gerard Lenski’s analysis in the evolution of societies, where the family is not anymore the focus. Also, if we keep on insisting that sex education should be taught at home, it would not be so effective, from the fact that the term “sex” is a taboo… our parents will just say its bad and we will know if we will be old enough to face all those things… and there is no further explanation… so apparently we will be so confused about it… our curiosity will lead us to do so.. but if we make it as part of the school’s curriculum nothing may seem to be bad.. As educated student we may be able to know what shoud we do and what we shoud not. What makes us avoid danger in the streets??? because we are taught how to read the signs… And what happens to the people who are not educated, they will surely have accidents in the street for they don’t know what’s the meaning of the signs in the street., if they have just learned all those things in school, they will surely avoid accidents. Just like having sex education if it will be taught to the students, students will not anymore be ignorant about it.. and for that they will know what will happened to them if they do so.. But if the students will do something bad about having “pre-marital sex” that is not the responsible of the school anymore because their goal is to EDUCATE students about sex for them not to be ignorant… that responsibility relies on their parents on how they discipline their kids.. And also depends on the student… Remember that God has given us a free will… and even if we will not implement sex education curriculum in our school, “pre-marital sex” will still exists… But having sex education will lesser the statistics of the pre-marital sex in our country…
And I am sure of this, based on the research studies of some countries…

It’s not the sex education that leads the young to commit “pre-marital sex” it’s the ignorance, the discipline from parents, and the “FREE-WILL that God has given to us.” But impementing sex education will open the youth’s eyes from the reality…
—hope the church will be able to realize what must be realized…
until then i finished my term paper with regard to this… I’ll post again…

thank you…

God Bless every one!!!:)

I’m 17, a devout catholic and a 2nd year nursing college student and from the Philippines. Even though i’m not into sexual activities, i believe that sex education should be taught. Am not only reffering to sex ed thru schools but also in our very own home.

The problem in our country is sex is a taboo. That is why parents are having a hard time talking ’bout sex to their kids. Some finds it weird and uncomfortable. Some parents even prays that their child wont even ask such a question. Parents should bare in mind that it is primarily their responsibility to educate their kids for parents are the role models of their kids in the first place. Especially the mothers because they are the “guiding light”. They should not be afraid to talk about sex with us because the world today is liberated. Every corner is filled with evil. How can they be so sure that we are safe? How can parents be sure that their little angels are angels still? The media bombards our thoughts about sex. Books, magazines and even peers are their to openly discuss the matter about sex. So I think that it is better and i really mean BETTER if parents should start being open minded. They should discuss about sex in a professional way with their kids when they are still young because young minds are not dirty minded. So if they are already knowledgeble about sex when they are young, they can be prim and proper when discussing about sex when they grow up for they are introduced to sex in a different way than those kids who learned and heard ’bout sex in a vulgar and uncultured way.

If the parents are not that educated about sex then they should educate theirselves first. How can they teach us and give us proper education regarding sex issues if they themselves dont know a thing. So it is better that they read books first or in any way educate theirselves first so that when they educate us good and true information will be taught. Their are tons of books on the library or bookstore that talks about sex. The internet is even a good source. They should know the anatomical view of the reproductve system, family planning and all stuffs related to sex ed. With all these sources they can now talk and educate us about sex for they themselves know what sex really is for they experienced it and they know the dangers and exact consequences of sex. In short, parents can be considered as one of the “proper authorities”.

As a devout christian, i think that the church has the right to interfere regarding sex ed in our country. But i must say that the church should be open minded and not just be one-sided. Yes, having sex is immoral for sex is a sacred thing done by married couple. But we cant deny the fact that the world today is not the same as the world yesterday. Nothing is permanent but change itself. The views of the parents and the kids are different and i must say that this is normal for everything changes from one moment to the next. The way our parents was raised and their generation is so way different from us. But it doesnt mean that if parents&kids have different views they are not bound to understand each other. Anyway back to the church thingy, i think that instead of always giving bad comments to the action of the government, the church can have a program regarding values education and character formation in schools to neutralize the sex ed goin on in the schools. Values should be taught to primary level pupils and sex ed can start during the sevondary level. But i dont think that the church and the government can be considered as one of the “proper authorities” because the church only does it because of their belief and the government can only be promoting sex ed because they can profit more.

blahblah..

hmmmm… i still have lots goin on in my mind. I think i’ll post again some other time. tc evry1.,

but parents like you should not only blame it to the education given onto us youth. Exploiters of sex are those to be blamed. and whoever implanted the idea of a liberated world. which only result to people acting like animals looking for sexual relief.

Due to the advancements in technology, parents can’t ban their children from sex and porn the only thing you can do is to educate them at an early age and explain to the the importance of sex and when not to have it.

AGREE because…
more of us will be aware of it, and considering more consequences that’ll happen after having sex.

DISAGREE because…
more students would be curious of having sex education…
and they would probably try it using contraceptives…
