ual education being taught in schools?

Did they just stop teaching ed. in schools or what? Although, even if it was outlawed, where the heck is the 'birds and the bees' talk? I've seen so many posts on this site from teenagers that have no idea about the reproductive system! It's as though they know nothing about how one actually gets pregnant in the first place, or even how their own bodies function. Do you know what I'm talkng about? I just read a post from the 'adolescent' section and this poor girl didn't know that when one has for the first time, the girls hymen tears and can bleed afterward. She had no idea, and thought it was her period, or maybe breakthrough bleeding and she was worried about being pregnant. I for one, think the birds and the bees talk should never be avoided, whether it be given by teacher or parent- the issue obviousely needs to be addressed. Your thoughts?
