I dont see whats wrong with a teenager NOT knowing about sex. My teachers have never told me about being straight, gay or bi

Thank you matthew and billy

It's not really something the teachers like to talk about, most people pick it up from other people, some don't.

How old are you?

15

Some people learn about it, some people don't. Just accept that Benji.

i didnt mean it to be a rude comment i just thought (i think ur 16/17?)

You should have learnt this within your PSHE lesson.
I might be a tad arrogant, but i would rather hit something straight on and we up front about it rather than beat around the bush. I mean, surely you know that men and women fancy each other and fancy the same sex. I mean, im sure i found that out in Y7.

Is it becuase i am well educated that i think this? It may well depend on what school you go to and if you ever went to school. etc.

I didnt mean it to cause offence, but i just thought it was a stupid question to ask. Sorry to be so upfront, but thats how i am. Sorry :)

How patronising - lol

Its not about me not accepting it etc. Its about someone not knowing a fact of life. Sorry, but i just thought it was a stupid comment to make.

Ya we all make stupid comments and we all dont know about stuff etc, but thats a little stupid.

Sorry, just writing what im thinking. :)

OK sorry benji for taking it the wrong way but im not stupid we never lernt about sex or anything in PSHE we lernt about getting a job in PSHE mabe i missed that lesson who knows.

Schools have different policies.
We've never had proper sex education and we watched an American video about STI's etc, in the 5th year, when everyone had already had sex and the video was bascially saying not to have sex or you'll die, type thing.

How ironic - lol

You're the one being patronising on this thread...

I do find it a little odd that some people make it to a certain age without being remotely aware of homosexual/bisexual people?

If you've managed to live so many years without running into gay people on television/in books/word of mouth/celebrities/witnessing gay people kissing etc then that's fine, but just slightly strange.

Most boys tend to fancy girls, and the thought of two girls kissing might enter their heads once in a while...that alone should be enough to figure out the possibility of girls liking girls/boys liking boys. It should be something you can work out for yourself without the aid of the media.

Although if you couldn't work it out for yourself, word of mouth/the media should have worked it out for you.

So yea...just plain strange. Nothing against it, but I don't see how someone can get that far in life without knowing about homosexuals. So much so, that they're baffled by the idea and don't think it's possible for homosexual people to exist.

I can't put that down to anything but plain ignorance to be fair.

Retroman what are you on about i knew there were such things as gay people oviously i even said that i dident even say anything about gay people i just said i dont see how a man could like a man and also a woman but im over it :|

I wasn't addressing that to you Rice Square, I was talking about anybody who doesn't know about sex/bisexuals/gay people etc because people were talking about it.

But since you're talking to me...

You don't understand how someone could like men and women?

You'll have to learn that some people in this world, think completely different to you.

Some people fancy men, some women, some both, some animals, some don't fancy anybody. There are people out there who actually have sex with fish, and there's a scientific name/word for it.
Some like being abused, some like feet, some like hurting people.
Some hate material posessions, some love material posessions.
Some like to save energy and not use electricity, watch television etc.
Some like to help people, some like to destroy people's lives.
Some men wear womens clothing, some women wear mens clothing.
Some people get turned on by blood and gore.

Lots of things that many of us might not understand, but they're all possible and all happening right now.

Men and women are physically almost exactly the same, only breasts/genital's are the clearest difference. We all have eyes, hair, smiles, bodies...so it's quite easy for someone to fancy both men and women.

YUCK thats made me feel ill why would someone want to have sex with animals
i see your points and i understand now btw sorry i thought you were speaking to me.

I'm the same way, but I'll be slightly more circumlocutious and periphrastic when it's with someone whom I don't know, such as a forum member.

Actually it's quite surpising to see that some people don't know much about sexuality as we had some "sexuality, body and health" lessons when we were younger. But well some live in a box.

Sex Education is a HUGE portion of the PSHE curriculum.

Well i dident do it :shrug:

We've taught it you know anyway. Some of us must be better than your teachers :tongue:
