It’s in October 2006 when the Govt. decided 2 induce the concept of sex education in school.Though the plan’s been executed in sum schools but still is condemned by majority.When they say dat parents’d start teaching sex at the earliest age possible.When asked for the instructions for parents they simply said,” Whenever ur child comes from school or any hobby class or from a friend’s house ask them dat whether their private parts been touched by any1,whether sum1 tried to take them in shady or cosy corner.” I ask u people ‘Can u ask such questions from ur children? Is it possible to ask?
- As far as imparting certain mandatory things to small children is concerned like wat is a gud touch & bad touch,its fine & there’s no need to shout from rooftops to teach this coz every parent,I repeat Every parent does tell his/her children this much.
- Do u really see a need to introduce certain things like dat,then introduce them in the syllabus.Vaise bhi whatever info is neccesary for a child at certain age is given in the biology textbooks.All about AIDS,be it causes,effects,prevention-everything is discussed in detail but in a way so as not to destroy a child’s innocence.
- When they say dat y shy away from discussing sex when everything is available on T.V. & Internet,I again beg their pardon coz despite of every info being available on TV & Net India’s youth still have traditional morals & innocence intact & by innocence I don’t mean being unaware but cautious.
- Being mordern doesn’t mean saying the word”Condom” aloud (a la Bindaas Bol) but it means to excel in every sphere of life,to learn every possible new technique dat is being used so as to reduce manpower & to make ur country proud by excelling in technology etc. thereby keeping ur traditional morals & values in place.
- On TV I got to watch the video tape of sex education session being held in Modern School.There the teachers were being shameless as well as the students(who felt v. confident & knowledgable after the session though).The questions dat the students asked r not worth mentioning.I mean the questions which should have been like about the various stages of STD’s or AIDS or the steps dat ought to be taken while nursing the patients.Rather their questions were on the cautions to be taken while having sex.Believe it or not?Our generation’ll be spoilt after these sessions.
- Do Comment & raise ur voice against this.
WE DO NOT FOLLOW DISCIPLINE IN OUR LIFE AND IN OUR SOCIETY N THAT IS OUR MAIN PROBLEM FOR EVERYTHING, WHEN THIS SUBJECT OF SEX EDUCATION CAME UP THERE WERE EXTREMES OF REACTION . EITHER PEOPLE R FOR IT OR AGAINST IT . INSTEAD WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE EXACT PROCEDURE OF IMPARTING IT . I AGREE THAT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EXPLODE IN OUR FACE IF NOT HANDLED CAREFULLY BY THOSE WHO R IMPARTING . IT SHOULD NOT BECOME A SOURCE OF CHEAP THRILL IN THE CLASS NOR TEACHERS SHOULD START GIVING AUDACIOUS SUGGESTIONS LIKE U MENTIONED TO THE PARENTS IN THIS REGARD . IT WIL BE USEFUL ONLY WHEN HANDLED VERY CAREFULLY BY THE GUARDIANS OF THE SOCIETY.
Well, after reading your post, I decided that I will not go for or against the article. If, I recall my younger days, then I should be thankful to my parents for helping me out. There was certain questions, which I could not ask, except my parents. Its wonderful how they helped me out in this subject. My biology books also gave me the details. Overall, its ones mother and father, who are childrens best friends:- in times of joy and in times of sorrow! Hope you have understood my point. Anyway, nice post. Hope you will also take your time in reading my post on ”Global Warming - A serious issue”
Have a wonderful weekend.

Sex Education is a important subject which should be imparted to the students in a proper and decent manner so that the child’’s innocence doesn”t get devasted and he doesn”t starts doing sex with anybody met on the road just because he knows the precautions and measures to not get involved in any sexually oriented problem.
Sex education is important. How to impart is a tough proposition.
Dear Shewta,
Two questions should put this into perspective:
1) Are you married and with children ?
2) If you are then ” how many times have you attended a party and encouraged your child to dance to numbers such as ” sexy sexy log mujhe sexy kyun bole” or “choli ke peeche kya hai.”
I would like to know what your answer was to your lets say 7 year old kid when they asked what the phrase meant. Do you think its sex education at fault or the whole society is in a malaise? Why are you aping principles from Queen Victoria who was a prude and denounced as such by her own people rather than from our rich cultural heritage with books like the Kama Sutra. We were always a sexually open society where no kid needed to ask such questions, lets go back to being one.
