Sex Ed

Something that really spoke to me in where is invade next is how sex education is taught in France. Something that is not touched upon in America enough is consent. In high shool, we discussed the statutory rape age and how different people deal with it. We never talked about our personal life. I am assuming that part of this is because students would be embarresd talking about it. This is a whole issue in itself. Sex should be an open conversation. This is not stressed in class nor in life enough. How are children supposed to know what consent is and how to be in a healthy relationship. They also had abstinence based health classes at my school in which they wouldn't teach you about contraceptives because if you don't have sex you don't need it. Sex Ed tried to scare us all out of having sex, but it should encourage healthy relationships instead.
