Question

How old are children when there taught s*x education?

Answer 1

Here in CA, it generally happens in fourth grade- ages 8-9, and fifth grade- ages 9-10. There is an encore presentation in Health class in middle school. I took it in 7th grade.

Answer 2

Well, my son was 8 (he asked) and I know other kids that are taught around 11-12.  IMO it should be taught by parents, not schools, but too many parents don't take that responsibility anymore so...yeah.

It really depends on the school district.  Some start in early elementary, others in 7th-9th grade.

Answer 3

As soon as they start asking questions - usually about age 4 or 5.  Proper words for body parts, where do babies come from, etc.

Answer 4

Grade 4, and I am still learning it every year (I was in Grade 8) and then I am still learning it Grade 9...

Except every year they teach you something a little different.

Answer 5

For me I was inj Grade four why are you so worried about it it is no big deal it is natural to learn about it. I am glad you weren't in our school because in a s*x ed video they put a man's p***s on a dummy face and said its normal to have these thoughts ewww...

SO anyways the typical age that children start learning s*x ed is in Grade 4.

At least cause I live in Canada you learn it much earlier.

I advise anyone who lives in Canada to cover your eyes during s*x ed because it talks about g*y intercourse and it shows the inserting of the p***s in Grade 4.

Answer 6

in my district its 7th grade when they are "getting to know" their bodies.

Answer 7

I was about 10 the first time it was mentioned in school, but then we was taight properly from about age 12, i think its different in different schools

Answer 8

it very much depends on the education authority.  I teach in the uk and have just finished teaching the s*x ed curriculum to 10 year olds.  However s*x ed differs greatly here depending on the religion of the school.

Answer 9

We went through it briefly in year 5 (about 10 yrs old) but went into more detail through secondary school, and the full details (where they didn't really sugar-coat anything) was in Year 10 - about 15 years old.

Answer 10

I was nine when we first got taught it (year 5) but they went over it at 11 (year 6).

Answer 11

my sis was nine but i was eleven

Answer 12

We were 15 when we were given our first (and only) s*x education lesson, where the only information we were given was too abstain and s*x is evil! Probably explains why 5 girls were pushing prams by the age of 17!

Answer 13

year 7, so 11 going on 12.  but this was 6 years ago for me...so i guess its getting earlier in some places..
