These kids have the worlds at their fingers, and their learning curve is ALOT faster now days. What 18 year olds knew 5 years ago, 16 year olds know now. And it will only get faster. I am all for sex education at 10-11 years old because you know what, it is starting then, it really is. I was lucky in that I had uncles that were only 10 years older then me when I was growing up and my parents were very upfront about alot of stuff, but alot of parents are not that way. I don't think I had a sex education class until I was 17 in high school, I was already on my 2nd or 3rd girl by then (trying to make a point, not boost the ego)


Do you realize that 'cheating on your girlfriend' is now popular in high school? This didn't start happening until college for my age level, but now, it is popular within sophomore and junior aged kids....

are you serious?? In a city like Chicago?? We were having sex ed classes when I was in 8th grade.
