Is Sex Education An Option For Your Kids?

Ok.!!! Cooldown Fred. Cooldown..!!!*

You know what? I had to first take a deep breath for this particular one. I rarely write about such topics but today, I feel like I need to make a simple contribution to my society.

It feels awkward to place these two words “kids” and “sex” in the same sentence. But we are in an era where the two words seem to collide now and then more than before. Please quote me right. When I say “kids” am not referring to babies, I mean your children. I mean your teenagers.

Here comes the big question...

IS IT OK TO TELL YOUR KIDS EVERYTHING THEY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SEX?

I do not think that you would feel comfortable telling me how you learned about sex as you grew up.

And in the same manner, you do not feel comfortable talking about such topics with several people, your children includive. To be sincere, I also feel nervous and timid when talking about things concerning that caliber. But I feel like we’ve got to look at shame straight in its eyes and tell the truth. In issues like this one, you are all your kids have got. If you decide to turn blind towards this particular area of life, They will learn everything on their own and they will learn it in a rough if not the wrong way.

If you’ve got someone to hold you by and walk you through everything thing, life gets simple. But if you have to learn everything by yourself, then it's another side of the story.

With that said, I think sex education and knowledge isn’t an option for your teenagers.

You’ve got to tell them the following;

1. They should engage in sex only after marriage: As the society and environment we are living in are getting wild, You ought to tell your teenagers that sex is a gift from God bestowed onto a married couple. You’ve got to look straight into your son’s face and tell him “Man..!!, Before marriage, no sex...Period.”As a parent, you should never and never glorify pre-marital sex. You should tell them that if they engage in premarital sex, it's no longer love between them and their partner. It’s fornication.

2. SEX doesn’t represent LOVE: Now this goes out to all my fellow teenagers. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend who won’t let you have peace without sleeping with them, then they don’t love you. They just want to use you. They want to have some fun with you. If anyone ever threatens to leave you only because you’ve refused to sleep with them, respect yourself am chuck them first.

Never fall so low to an extent of sleeping with someone over a forced vibe.

3. Your Child’s reproductive health matters: Make sure that your teenagers attain all the necessary information concerning reproductive health. When people talk about sex education, they usually talk about protected sex, abstinence, and being faithful. But reproductive health is another vast aspect that we ought to shine more light on.

Many teenagers suffer from reproductive infections but they’ve got no one to talk to. FYI, many teenagers are so shy to an extent that they won’t let anyone know that they are hurting. You Should be a friend to your son. You ought to be extremely loving to your daughter. When you do so, they will feel free to talk to you about anything going on in their lives.

4. Sexual harassment still exists: Millions of teenagers have been sexually harassed and they have decided to die with it. Don’t let your child be a victim of such incidents. Tell your children that they ought to report any kind of sexual harassment. There is nothing like minor abuse. those minor abuses are the ones that result in deep-cut harassments anyway.

5. What we need is a decent community: Teach your children to be responsible and decent children right from childhood. If you raise descent children, you will rest assured that even when they aren’t with you, they will take care of themselves and they won’t get in any mischief. If your child is a responsible one, they won’t find themselves sleeping around with fools and goons. If you raised your child well, you must have told them that patience is key.

The bottom line:

Teaching your children about sex and reproductive health isn’t a bad idea if done the right way. Give your children all the information they need from the very beginning. after all, it's one aspect that they must face in life. If you don’t open your child’s eyes, someone will do it for you and they will do it the wrong way.

A $1 tip won’t hurt.

Thank you for funding my dreams.
