It seems, from my personal experience and from reading Eve’s books is that the kids who are younger than I am just don’t seem to have any common sense at all. I wouldn’t put them in a different generation that myself but with the way that society is changing these kids just don’t understand things that should be common sense.
I have heard stories about kids how are trying to have sex in grades as early as 5th grade! They are just so curious and they haven’t been prepared the correct way so they are going about it their own way to discover sex for themselves. This, I believe is the parents fault for not talking to their children but at the same time parents have to make the decision of whether they want their kid to be the first to be educated or they could wait for the kids to ask questions and then respond accordingly. This is just a very tough thing for both parties to do without having any awkward moments.
The Sex Ed in schools obviously is not doing enough because the kids still don’t listen or cannot relate. I think the biggest problem is that these young kids need to be able to relate in order to grasp the severity of sex. I remember having to take sex ed and thinking this so stupid, and how it was all common sense because I obviously did not want to have a baby or to get some terrible infection that would cause terrible things to happen to my penis. Sex ed was scary for me and for my friends as I remember it. I don’t know if fear is the right strategy for these kids nowadays but a new strategy definitely must be used if we plan to properly educate the kids so they can make the right decisions on their own.
