Wrong teachings are necessary to keep them from sex... Would you imagine if the teachers walked around the classroom saying stuff like:"Awww, sex feels SO good." moaning and all that Would have put them off it too though

I have spoken to our guidance teacher about stuff like this, and she said that she is deliberately having to avoid the issue because of the maturity of most of the people in the class. Personally, I agree with her - there's just no getting through to some of them.

But hey, at least they are all leaving at the end of May

Yes, there are many immature people in schools.

My school only brings homosexualtiy into teaching when they are doing sex ed. We watched Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, where Tom Hanks was gay and had HIV and was fired from his job, because of it. That's all I can think of but I don't think they tell the students about it in other classes.

Bisexuality is, in principle, like being gay and straight -- no?

So... 2+2=4, right? What I am saying is if you get educated about straight and gay issues (I never did in my school) surely a bisexual person just takes both sides on board? At least that seems logical enough.

And yes I agree that bisexuals are often thrown in with the gays and while it aint fair, nearly all bisexuals I have known/talked to have turned out in the end, to be gay. Some because they always were, and saw bisexuality as being more &quot;socially acceptable&quot; and so used it as a stepping stone to fully coming out. Others, because they were perhaps a little unsure and still needed time.

Either way (and I am sorry if this sounds really horrible) but I now generally see bisexuals as the undercover gays that cried wolf... only because 2 people I knew and trusted used it at first before fully coming out...

I agree they definatelly should teach about homosexuality in schools and that homosexual relationships are normal. In the Netherlands this is being taught to kids as young as 6 and 7 and is why people are so more tolerant in the Netherlands and why discrimination in schools is so much less over there!!

The school system should definatley introduce the topic on being gay into Sex Education! We never learnt about anything &quot;gay&quot; related which was a shame!

my school spent tons of time about being gay. we did a whole thing about what it means to be gay and how you know; we did role play and everything on it lol.

when i was at school during our 3rd year we spent 5 minits talking about gay relashan ships and all we wher told was gay people have ades and hiv. now i came out at the age of 13 so when we had that class every one new i was gay and i got buleys and riticuled by people saying that i had ades so i do think that schools from the first year at secondery school they should insted of telling you about hetro pepol onlay they should start telling you about gayy relashans as well after i left my school started 2 do that now they have more gay students coming out all the time
