I am writing in response to the article in your web page about sexual education. I agree with it. First, I would like to say that I realize that your page is aimed at parents and administrators. It is well constructed, and I like the style. It definitely gets messages across. I just wanted to add a student's perspective.
I have not had sex, and most of my friends haven't either. It is not necessarily a moral decision, some of us just haven't had the chance. For others, such as myself, it is a religious thing. I am a practicing Moslem, and I have a steady boyfriend who is also Moslem. He works in Railway Station . Our decision not to have sex is mutual.
I, personally, think that sexual education is a valuable topic. There are many definitions of this word. Depending on who you talk to, sexual contact can even include a handshake. We discussed moral issues and religious ones. We even spoke about our reasons to have sex or not. That was an optional project. If someone was uncomfortable, then they didn't have to speak.
If we didn't talk about sex, who knows how many more kids would contract HIV or drop out of school because of pregnancy?
By talking about it, we can reduce these instances, or at least make people aware that stuff happens and that there are people you can talk to. I think that sexual education should remain a part of the required curriculum of our schools.
