Question

they taught her about rapeing and how it means that a p***s goes into a womans v****a or mouth when she said no. dont u think that me and my husband [her parents] should be teahcing her tht kinda stuff?

Answer 1

This is a difficult situation in an education setting. There are many child protection experts (Eg - Freda Briggs) who say that schools should teach children to protect themselves against abuse, in the way that you have described. It is a very extreme approach, and I can see why many parents would really struggle with it.

However, studies do show that when children are taught very specifically in schools how to protect themselves against abuse, like you have described, the children are more capable at both preventing being abused, and also reporting it when they are abused.

Also, many children are unfortunately abused by their parents/ family members. This kind of sexual education can sometimes be the only way for someone to find out and report that a child is being abused at home.

Different schools have different policies about sexual education. You should talk to the principal if you are concerned, and ask what your schools policy is.

Answer 2

ITS ABOUT BOTH PLACES BECAUSE IT WILL ALWAYS BE HARD TO SAY THE RITE WORDS WHEN U ARE THE PARENT...TRUST ME...

AND AT SKOOL THEY ARE TRAINED TO DO JUST THAT SO DONT EVEN WORRY BOUT IT.

Answer 3

Some kids aren't comfortable having their parent/s talking about that kinda stuff, If thats the case you could always buy him/her books on the subject that way he/she could learn without being embarrassed.

An informed teen is better than a clueless teen.

Answer 4

It's better for them to know earlier and from an informed source. If they don't know this stuff then later on if something ever happens, wouldn't it be better for them to be aware? I think it's good that they are teaching kids this stuff at an early age, and I'm pretty sure they separate the girls from the boys and don't give too much gruesome detail until the 7th and 8th grade, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Answer 5

how old?--i dont care who teaches it as long as they go into detail about rape etc n pics of stds. we learned it in 5th grade-my daughters learning in 4th. when i was in school it was about condoms-well what about everything else & good ages n what happens . shes learning about the body parts a the moment-they make it sound likes its no big deal. i think my daughter should come to me with all questions etccccc!!!! n i should teach her too. my hubby just says no n explains the reason why. the kids in the neighborhood r stupid! the dont know what crabs even are! n if u look on here on stds not many ppl know how u get them how long it takes to show signs! so i guess its what u think is best but they r ur back up-so she knows theres others who got raped n she has other ppl to ask questions or someone to go to if anything happens. my daughter likes to get at least 5 ppl to answer simple questions so im not the only one the has the answer shes looking for. good luck!!!
