Our topic: "Should sex education made compulsory at schooling?"

School students especially from class 8th are curious about sex.This is because their sexual instincts begins to develop at this stage.So whatever they sees or hears about sex will be listened well.Also they will be very very anxious at this stage.But their natural shy prohibit them from clearing their doubts or to discuss the matter with others.It is good to some extent.

Now if sex education is included in school subject naturally many of their doubts will be cleared in teaching itself.So those who are shy will not be un aware of the subject.Also students will have an opportunity to discuss the matter in open.

So my opinion is that it should be compulsory.
As Per The GD Topic : "Should sex education made compulsory at schooling?"

According to myself, Sex Education must be compulsory from schooling from the 9th and 10th class.

What the need of this education?

There is need of sex education in from a particular level of schooling for the students because it will help to maintain a healthy attitude about sex and a healthy sexual lifestyle later on in life of the present students.

From a stage of 12 years of girls and 14 years of a boys some hormones starts changing in the body. So this causes a lot of problems in the mind and behavior of the young students.

So sex education in right manner is must for the young students to control the changing of right behavior into wrong behavior.
Mr Lohit

You do not forget this India and here different culture and cast so lot of different rules in different cast.

As per my point of view this time is not right time for sex education .I think when all Indian will educate then it is ok to implement.

So I Love Indian culture and after sex education people will talk openly on sex and do get sex proposal easily.
Before even the students get to the standard 8th, they are already aware about sex due to their exposure to movies and also the internet.They tend to understand the changes in the body and they donot ask anyone any doubts,but they surf on the internet and clarify their doubts on sex.

When I was in standard 9th,we had in our science syllabus the education of sex.Our teacher just skipped the chapter and told us that it was 'not important'(from examination point of view) and hence the chapter just remained like that.

Now,you tell me,if at all sex education will be made compulsory,how will the teachers teach us?It happens that due to the embarrassment of teaching the opposite sex,teachers shun away from the subject and only focus on 'exam point of view' topics.

It reveals the teacher's in ability to handle the class.She also may had the same experience during her school studies.Bus as a teacher if a student asks a question on sex it should be cleared well at least calling him personally.Else he will think that there is something hidden.He will try to find out the "hidden" by some other methods.It will definitely lead to sexual malpractices.

Santhosh...
India had diversified caste and religion.But what is the matter with it to introduce sex education? To lead a good life in future , whatever be the caste and religion I think sex education should be introduced.

Mr. Santosh i m not agree with you.
I know its India and what the culture of India have. But the current time and future time is different.

You are saying we should wait till all India get educated. It is not possible and i am sure this will not happen in future also that all population of Indian will get educate according to the present condition.

So we should spread the sex education in young students which have age more than 12 in girls and 14 in boys. This will also helpful to control them from going to wrong path.
You are saying that people will talk openly about sex, so Mr. Santosh if a person know his limits then he/she can control

And what do you think, all young boys and girls not talk about sex.

Boys to boys and girls to girls normally many boys to girls and girls to boys , they talk about this topic.

So time is changing sow e should spread this education in right manner,

The same thing happen in our school. Our teacher just said very briefly and skipped most of the chapter. I don't know why teachers think like this!

Sex education must be made compulsory at schooling. Most students who got AIDS are from teenage. They don't know properly about it and most of them are in confusion.

@santosh
I do not agree with you. As i said earlier most of the AIDS patients are in teenage. If they know about sex clearly, then AIDS percentage may decrease.

So in my view sex education at schooling is compulsory.

Swetha sex education is must at this time to secure the youth of India from many deseases.

I think teacher must not get shy and give knowledge about the sex with right thinking not wrong. This will be good for the youth which is going to the wrong path.
Sex Education should be compulsory for students as they need the right information to help protect themselves.
Teenagers are mostly the victims of sexually transmitted diseases, so they need to be make aware in such a way that they can easily clear their doubts about this topic, and they donot hesitate in the matter.
On the same side, the counsellers or teachers, teaching them should make them feel comfortable seeking counselling on sex-related issues. Because openness in conversation would decrease frustrations and aggressions linked to sexuality amongst youth.
I think sex education is not needed its natural education which people know automatically.

even one animal also know what is sex. so what will you educate people for them.

I think sex education is not required . Only AIDS education is required and this country is hot country so better we implement Indian culture and happy with existing education system.

No Santosh sir not Only AIDA education is required, sex education is also required.

One of the point in AIDS education is " Beware of Unsafe Sex"

So About the unsafe sex , sex education is must required. We know maximum people know about the sex naturally by education, but they don't know they doing in right manner or wrong manner. If the young generation will get knowledge of sex from the 10 or 9th class then , it will be beneficial for them in future.

You can see or every one knows this : in present time a lot of population of world have problem related to sex and this time doctors which are the counslers of sex knowledge, earning money alot.

As as per my opinion Sex education must be in Schools.
I think everyone have right to write his opinion but first you tell me Lohit if you are teacher for sex Education then how will you teach and what will you teach.

I think some student may know more than teacher for each matter that you will teach him.

Its not only about AIDS, actually its about sexually transmit diseases, which can be anything, may or may not be AIDS, the purpose of sex education is to make youths understand their security and safety, to make them know about their goods and bads, to make them aware of boon or bane of sex. To tell them that what actually is the right time to do sex, and part of of their life can be affected by it, if done in a wrong way or at wrong time.

I In lot of things like bathing, eating , sleeping time table is required and people manage it very well . and people also maintaining time in sex to avoid disease , harm etc so for some little thing we can not say there should be education for this.

In any things if its course in our education than its should be lot of chapter but in sex education 50% people naturally educated so for 50% we can not say it should be include in our course.

I think everyone will get 95% in this subject.

May be they are knowing more than teacher,but everyone isn't.
The education is mostly needed in rural areas than urban areas because they are the worst sufferers of diseases of SEX or victims of Rape, so they need to be guided in such a way that they can protect themselves.
Aastha I am from village background and I know they are more educated for this matter.

so In village this type of education is not required.

Mr. Santosh Sir, i am not the teacher of sex ok, so how i can tell you what to teach and what not to do ?

Its the duty of education department to assign a teacher for a particular subject like sex.

Our youth needs it.

Santosh Sir, I have already specified that some 50% do have knowledge regarding this, but still 50% needs the same, awareness is necessary, whether its in urban or rural areas.
In urban areas 70% are aware but in rural areas I think hardly 40% are aware, but what about others, who are not at all aware of it,only education can help the way out.

Yes Lohit, I am completely agree with you that education department should assign a teacher for teaching sex so that they can counsel students more comfortably and clear their doubts, and create awareness among them.

In village, people don't know about the sex so much, they don't use precautions so much parents have more than 3 or 4 children also.

So this also comes in sex education also.

Knowledge is never get less than any other person's knowledge. So everyone should get knowladge about this.
