Sex Education: How we are failing our students?
Answer
Editor's pick

I really don't know how many of you have been educated with something about sex. When I was young, I remember it clearly that the teacher asks us to read the book about sex education by ourselves. More important, girls and boys shouldn't discuss it at the class.

As you all known, a lot of Chinese students are left up to interpretation in teenage health literacy. I thought the education is a necessary for all. Only know it could student feel more informed, make safer choices and have healthier outcomes. 

Why now more and more unplanned pregnancies and some of them are at so young age? Lack of sex education might be a main reason. I think sex education is something like learning a skill, and it is about life skills.

It seems that we Chinese tend to avoid talking about sex in public. It has been so long that sex is linked to criminal or unethical things. Therefore, people become feel ashamed of talking about sex. But most of us will experience sex. So people should first change the attitude towards sex which is not scary at all.

Sex education is very necessary for Chinese students. Gradually, sex may not be shameful. With the premature of kids, for protecting their body health, not only teacher, but also the parents should tell their children about sex.

Sometimes child can know sex in various ways. I don't think the crimals committing raging because they don't know how to make sex. It is because they know how to sex that they rape girls. What WE ought to teach our offsprings isn't WHAT is sex, BUT why WE sex. We should take with our child about the biological meaining of sex, and the detriment of sex. IF WE talk our children sex meaning love, they will try in an early age. In a word, IF they Are ignorant about sex,they won't protect themselves, BUT if they know sex, they want to sex.

Due to historical and cultural reason, I think the sex education on students is not successful by the government.

Chinese people are culturally shameful about sex, though, a lot of Chinese youngsters immerse in pxxnography. Also, the new generation no longer fear talking about sex. We have long been influenced by western culture.

First, a group of teachers should be trained for expertise at teaching sex knowledge. Government is advised to give them platform.
