[quote]Maybe we need more ‘mature’ teachers, who can explain to students how exactly the human body works. We surely need politicians who understand that sex-ed teachers are not teaching students how to have sex, or for that matter, telling the students that it’s okay to have sex, as long as you do it safely. Why need moral police when something as basic as this can prevent STDs, AIDS, even rape! Abstinence is NOT the key word here. It surely doesn’t explain how a nation would have a population of 1 billion..[/quote]

Yes aastha we need some mature teachers which should not hesitate while teaching young boys and girls about the sex education. If teacher or a person who have knowledge about it will get hesitate, then who will teach to youth.

[quote]All of might know that BEd is a course that gives training to become a teacher.During my BEd days I selected the topic for thought for the day as " Sex Education".

In my view I explained that parents should give some tips to children about their body changes and care that should be taken during this period.Also I suggested that regarding sexual intercourse they should be informed indirectly.That is not to be described in class openly as the class is mixed one.Also atmost care should be taken not to divert from topic.If students have question deal it individually according to the degree of doubt.

Unfortunately the teacher itself described my talk in a different way and being a highly inflamable topic the discussion stopped then and there itself.Actually what the teacher did was wrong because many married and bachelors were there to give their opinion.Being matured enough it was a chance to get matured replies.I think as Swetha said teacher had shy to be there.

So being talking about sex education is considered as shame by teachers itself we have to change it by introducing it in our schools itself.[/quote]

Abid you completely said right and i am agree with you, but some candidates which are teachers not do B.Ed, some also do masters after just B.A and BSE. So in masters ecuation this topic is also must be implement.
The ones who are saying that there should not be sex ed, India will not accept it, you are just providing the abstract, please provide details.

You are telling that person has fever, and hospitalising him will not work, but tell us then how will the fever be recovered???

If there should not be sex education for children or youths, then please specify what is the best method to stop teenage pregnancies, continously increasing Rape cases, unawareness among youths, increasing population, high rate of molestation??
Dear Aastha

Most pregnancies cases come from educated family so what is meaning of education.

US is not hot country like India that there no much more effect but India is hot country after good education its chances to increase pregnancies because people do things that they want because they do not want to implement and follow education.

So best way to decrease pregnancies is culture because culture has the power to decrease pregnancies.

Reason of pregnancies is western culture if people follow Indian culture then there good effect comes.

You are right Sir, that Most pregnancies cases come from educated family, because they are educated, but they are not rightly educated towards sex.


secondly, suggest a way to incur indian culture among youth, as western culture has covered up almost all India, then how will you teach them Indian culture.

Thirdly, you have told a way to stop teenage pregnancies, but not told that how to implement it.

And its about only one prob. tell the solution of other problems, i have mentioned.
Dear Aastha,

How are you? I think there is no need to special teaching to implement culture by any teacher I think everyone have one nice teacher at home to implement Indian Culture that is our parent.

If Parent help to his children to make powerful Sanskar inside him then there is no other power which can disturb your way.

If our sanskar and culture not comes inside us then this type of mistake made.

Ok Sir, I agree with you, inculcating culture in children by their parents can solve the problems, but can it solve all the above mentioned problems?
Do all these problems are not faced by those, whose parents inculcate them with good sanskaar??
Don't you think so, they are also the victims of these problems?
Or do you think, that whatever good parents teach, are always taken by children and they follow the same path?
Be practical to answer...

Aastha I think if children will not follow culture from parents then its much more difficult that they will follow sex education given by teacher.

I think if any disease or other things happen then there are lot of Doctor to solve it. I have seen lot of practical example like in my society there is a family who have 2 daughter both are well educated and parent given all Indian culture and sanskar to them now both are in US and doing good job in her life journey they pass from lot of situation and wrong friends to do wrong things but only sanskar save them there no one there not her parent not her teacher only sanskar and his culture made her to saver herself.
Hi santhosh,

I agree with you. Sanskar is important. I think we are deviating from the topic

I don't think so that we are deviating from the topic, it is indeed an important part of the topic, because Santosh Sir, here telling us the way to stop sex crimes in India. apart from sex education.
So I think, it is completely related to the topic.
But one thing I want to clarify,if parents are the one teaching about sex education to children,my parents have not taught me at all!

The main problem in teaching 'sex education' is people are hesitant and donot feel 'free' to teach.If we can find a way to remove this 'embarrassment' then I think students can get a right approach towards the topic.
In Debate one think I want to clear to all of you to come to final solution we need to include all things related to topic. Sex crime is related to Sex education . you see if this education will come then this sex crime chapter should be there.

We need to think of both form harm and profit so we need to discuss all things related to topic.
Sweta ji

How are you? nice to see you after long time. I think to remove hesitation is not possible in India if you remove in one case then you can not do this thing in other cast. I think you will get my point easily.
Yes sex education should be made to schooling but only for the students of class 10 or over as below that age may effect them mentally if it does.......

Absolutely right, the hesitation of teachers needed to be removed at first, & this can only happen if one will not hesitate to talk about SEX, if they will think right about SEX & will not found it a negative quality.
First of all,we need to identify the factors causing the hesitation.Ancient Indian teachers did not have any embarrassment to teach about 'sex education'.

It is like the case of 'silence of masses'.Even though India has attained the 'freedom to speech',not everyone understands the worth of it.If every Indian strive to set aside the 'hesitation' and 'fear',together we can all make one great nation of wisdom.

[quote]Dear Friend whatever you written is right as per your point of view but I want one answer from question why only in India we feel this education is required.

I think other countries are not interested for this subject because they think its not a big matter and Govt. is able to handle all crime issues related to sex.

So to control crime there need some rule to followup strictly.

So there are people here habit is they learn but not implement.

and Sex is a matter and after education crime will increase.[/quote]

Mr. Santosh sir, i think that you have your mind set up with village thinking. You are saying other countries are not interested in these sex education, but i wanna tell you, maximum sex education is given in other countries, why? because to reduce the number of girls which got pregnent in teen age. In westernt countries, need of sex education the need and now this need is also become of india.

According to WHO the sex education to children ideally should be imparted at the age of 12 years and above. Even if the records say about 34% of the HIV affected persons are in the age group of 12 to 19 years.

[quote]Santhosh...

I think your question is invalid.
India has a culture of its own.Here we respect that culture and in it we have to behave our opposite sex in good manner.

Due to the invading of western culture with our Indian culture we are getting destroyed.According to western culture nothing is to be educated at maturity.They will practice and learn.We sees the difficulties of the same all over the world.A lot of sexually transmitted diseases are faced by western countries.Still they are not caring the sexual life.

But through our education system we warn our children about unsafe sex, sexually trasmitted diseases, stress and strain during adolescence etc in a right way.So it gives some relaxation to our children.As you said crimes may increase.But it is not the fault of sexual education.Everything can be used for creative purpose and destructive purpose.It depends upon the wisdome of human who use it.[/quote]

Yes Abid, i am fully agree with your words. Sex education is must be implement in India
Santosh Kumar Singh wrote:
[quote]Abid

I think everyone know what is unsafe sex I am saying here people do not implement that is major problem.

You tell me If I tell you to use condom daily then you may not do it.

So I think some other effort is needed to stop its.[/quote]

Mr. Santosh not only using condom is comes in sex education. A lot of matter comes in sex education. At the teen age some hormones start getting change in the body of boys and girls. so its also the matter to give them knowledge about that.

[quote]Aastha I think you can be good teacher of sex education If sex education system will implement in India and I open school then I will hire you first.

As I am seeing you know more Aastha same as other also know.

Sex is interesting topic so if topic is interesting then people automatically search to get knowledge about it.[/quote]

Mr. Santosh sir you are doing some type of those discussion which is not good and not need.
Just example of this words wrote by you for aastha.
