"The New Goodnight Kiss"

ok, patrick james is way off base.every generation of kids seem to get to experence more than the last.in a perfect world the family unit would teach the rug rats all they need to know about the world.some parents arent qualified to teach anything to anyone,some are single parents with multulple kids and no time.i could go on and on.we put it up to the school system to teach sex ed then fight about the whole entire process.yes,kids as young as first grade know of sex and sex is a major subject to kids of all ages.no kid is excluded no kid is too smart nor is being from a good home going to stop the talk and the actual act.being a single father with a popular son, when he was in high school i knew he was having sex so the best i could do was say wear a comdom.saying anything else would have been a waste of time.sex is a big deal and allways will be so if you have little ones keep your eyes open for even the smallest sign at any age.thats when you start your sex ed sessions with your kid.at random times drop some informed info or a small pamplet on them.dont be afraid we are the bad guys anyway.dont preach,nag or try to be their friend.sex is everywhere and parents not wanting to be grandparents at 35 better take action

It doesn't help any when graphic detail in pictures is only 2 to 3 clicks away from anyone with access to a computer....but the crazies who scream for "their rights to do anything they please" with no accountability are the ones ruining this country, kids today are now so de-sensitized to anything over the line because a small minority have now take over all of media professing that it is alright to have no regard for anyone else other than themselves. If you wanna live like Cher Bono, you wind up with kids like Chastity or lap up shows like Jersey anything

beclean007: your comments are BY FAR, worse than anything else I have read on this subject.I remember how my granddaughter acted when she was 11 y.o. and attending her 6th grade dance. She was making moaning sounds and saying that she could hardly wait til she got her hands on a certain kid at the dance and what she planned to do. I saw her, in the presence of her parents, leap onto her bf, and throw her legs around him and her arms around his neck. They did not seem to care, and I can only hope that she is on some sort of birth control. The "apple doesn't fall far from the tree", and that worries me.

gypsie..you are so right parents and caregivers these days are so scared to teach the words yet do the words. they say not my princes/lil johnny yet see them end up prego on drugs or doing crime. if you do not start when first eyes and ears are open you have lost that chance to prevent and will be stuck in putting out fires. we need to accept we all will develop urges interests and a need to know. sex and bodily functions is nothing to be shamed of yet it is a natural part of life heck look at the movie the lion king that is full of messages. we should not need movies, music, or teachers to do this job. words can not hurt you breasts are a body part just like finger ect.

This does NOT support the need of the current style of sex education. Some schools are practically teaching elementary school students HOW to engage in sexual behavior. In some schools, homosexuals are allowed to indoctrinate children. Parental objections are bipassed or just overruled. If you wonder why our children are going wild, then you are an utterly clueless cause of the problem. Believe it or not, big brother does not have the answers.

why in the world would you all get so low,don't you realize what you are doing is no more than a dog licking another dog behind after he has did no.2 you are getting filth in your body that is making you sick an no cure. but a early death,think of your family pain they will suffer for your death,your mouth will have sores an you can't heal,SHAME,SHAME ON YOU

This is no surprise. Parents seem to be unable to tackle this problem at home. It's dumb, but we still expect "somebody else" to teach sex education to our kids. As a teacher, we can't even get parents to use the proper anatomical terms for genitalia. When I piloted classroom sex ed in the schools back in the seventies, I had to design a program and get parents to give permission for their children to take the course in the fifth grade. If a parent opted out, and two did that first year, the child either was kept at home that day, or was sent to another classroom for the day. Parents were allowed to attend, and were given topics for each day. The course lasted a week, and each topic was mainly directed at answering questions. The first lesson was learning the proper names for body parts and sexual activities. Vocabulary is crucial to understanding and communicating topics. I had one fifth grader that believed the Mother's swollen tummy signaled a stork in heaven that a baby was needed! A parent attending seemed shocked at some of the information and she had four children! I have seen poor folks with seven or more children unsure of where they were coming from. Teachers had a standing joke that what we needed to distribute to parents wasn't condoms, but televisions! Or suggestions for hobbies in the place of sex. Children sleep in bedrooms of parents long after they should be allowed to do so. Ignorance has always been the greatest obstacle for teachers to overcome. There is no one answer for this problem of sexual ignorance. Dr.Ruth, and Dr. Joyce Brothers have both tried to educate adults, on the teaching of basic sex edcation to their children. One of the most asked questions by parents has been, "When do I start teaching sex concepts at home?" The answer is when the question is first asked. Children need to feel free in the home to ask parents anything without getting "punished". The parents must be adult enough, and smart enough to answer!

This is what happens when fundies try to get any form of Sex Education thrown out of the schools. These parents don't discuss sex with their kids, so the kids are left to fend for themselves. This is why Sex Education is absolutely neccessary in our schools.

This speaks to what parents teach at home! NO child should have such low self esteem as to desire or be tricked via peer pressure into doing such acts to please others - especially at these ages! The oral sex going on is TO the boys, right? Yeah, because it's unlikely girls are receiving oral sex 'in the school hallway' though nothing sexual should be happening AT ALL! Parents MUST be supportive of their children; honest to them; AND set boundaries to help build them into healthy citizens, who care about themself AND others with respect! To expect any child to go out into the world, without the NECESSARY information to grow, is child endangerment! Turn off the TV, put down the phone, and get away for the computer - YOUR CHILD NEEDS TIME WITH YOU!

If it's that same film I saw, it's really not informing them of much more than what's on the back of a pack of Trojans
