I think “Sex Talk” or “Sex Education” was not appopriate by it’s names. Misleading!

First think and reaction comes to the mind of the young ones is: “Something Interesting!” The curiosity haunts to get to know and discover about the opposite gender’s parts. This will contributes to more misconceptions and motives to sneek to look at or even feel it. Correct me if I am wrong.
Why don’t they test on posting the questions to the young ones and see how they feed back?

Some even misunderstood as something we should try to learn and practice or discover it in secret but they are underage. (If it were to introduce to the standard 6) Children now aday have wide exposure in sexuality through social exposure such as T.V., Astro, Movies and Internets.

It should beimplied as “Sex Awareness and the Consequences”

Such implications will be better, atleast they are educate to understand and aware of there own body with the do(s) and don’ts.

intentions are good? aint the road to hell is paved with good intentions?
as in your same vein of logic, is it not too late in trying to integrate them at a late age of 17 when opinions and prejudices have already been formed?
I think there is enough said on good intentions. look behind the good intention for the real intention. meantime, prepare more body bags, please. and pray hard your kid wont be the next. as for me, there is still a 6 year window before my kid is eligible to be sent to this russian roulette program and I intend to fight tooth and nail to have this program scrapped during this period.

Please, no! The most important is not the Sex Talk, especially National, the sharing of vital and valuable information is, I suggest The Art of Self-refrain.

I agree to your points in fact. The age is a time when one wants to have experimental experience. Putting these youths away from parents and teaching them sex education, though it is meant for good purpose it may bring adverse consequences.
It is better they don’t introduce at these camps.

I believe that sex education should be implemented at standard six. kids these days have a higher rate of exposure due to the internet.

i agree that it should be the parents responsibility to sit with their children and discuss the subject. but the schools should also be responsible in educating kids on the consequences (emotional, physical, and medical) with sex.

we should be assisting the govt on this front. bear in mind that a large percentage of our population is still ignorant on how HIV/AIDS is and how it is contracted, and we have a high rate of unwanted pregnancies.

lets not let political biasness prolong ignorance. IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

I suggest parents to be really careful. Gay sites and lesbians sites and horrible porn have word sensitive features that when one types in the words they come out.

They come out when your children are surfing. We need to look at this issue… to teach our childrent hat some words when used at so innocent to them but are not “innocent” at all on the web. It is scary.

Perhaps others may have a solution?

Yes, it is too late for basics at 17+ but nothing is completely too late. Sometimes we harp on the wrong things - positive teaching and guidance is always more better. I think the nurses coming in to speak to us when we were in school was good but these days, you don’t need nurses, there is the prirated CD and the Internet porn for young people.

My little niece surfed the net and she was looking for cartoons, kitty cats, love etc and out came via the yahoo search engines, all sorts of sites on porn. She asked me what those are and I had to tell her it is dirty pictures and things not suitable for her to see; adults can’t see either but they like to watch so I told her to type other key words instead. Gay sites, lesbians in love sites etc.

Children unsupervised can look at sites deploringly base and banal. I am afraid for our children and by 17, they have had 7-10 years of banal stuff, if they have unsupervised computer surfing. So what sex education do you want to teach, Dr Ng need to look deeper into t his issue first and then prescribe a total and holistic solution rather than NS!!!! Forbid it to happen!
