Comments on: Sex education is critical - and you can do it yourself! http://karenrayne.com/2008/09/08/sex-education-critical/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:33:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: AliciaButler http://karenrayne.com/2008/09/08/sex-education-critical/comment-page-1/#comment-3621 AliciaButler Fri, 12 Sep 2008 02:31:31 +0000 http://karenrayne.com/?p=430#comment-3621 My Kid Was Taught Sex Education Through Grand Theft Auto and the Jonas Brothers Any consumer in the United States- not to mention the rest of the world can tell you, sex sells. Calvin Klein, I Can't Believe its Not Butter, and Herbal Essence all believe you will use your libido and not your brain when deciding which tightie-whities, margarine, and haircare products you'll use your club card to buy this week. We incorporate these products into our subconscious and our everyday lives, but when Jamie Lynn Spears gets knocked up at the age of 16, we wonder what is happening to the children in our society. Instead of talking to our children about sex we give them "Grand Theft Auto," Vin Diesel, and Eminem. We have no problem exposing our children to R rated movies and rappers who sing about murdering their wives, but if we have to live through the humiliation of explaining how a condom is used, we'd rather they contract a deadly virus or deal with an unwanted pregnancy or abortion.

The stats from the European countries are startling. I knew the US was behind when it came to sexual health and sex ed programs for youth, but these numbers are really sad. Wow.
