i get where you're coming from now

Because I know I started getting my first crushes at like 7 or 8

I can’t remember if I had any same-sex, I didn’t know what it was at that stage so I have no idea knowing when that attraction started for me

All I know is that it was very noticeable at 11-12 and became stronger in my teen years

So educating kids on same-sex crushes would be good at 7-9

Like not the why

Just that it’s okay to be that way

i mean, are crushes really that serious when you're 7 8 or 9?

Not really

But they should know that it’s okay to like people that are the same sex as them

i get it

Imo get to them before they become suicidal

That would be great

jeez i dont think a kid who watches barney will wanna fuckin kill himself cus no one talked to him bout homsexuality lol

Because maybe it won’t be as hard for them? I don’t know personally for me, but it may have helped a bit

Not like that

Like at 12-14 is when their suicide rates increase

yeah

So before then would be preferable..

there is definetly when it should be talked about

Yeah

And then you’ve got the religious people and homophobes that will go about it in the wrong way

And religious schools :/

yeah, i dont like that

It’s complicated when the kids fall into that group of people

do you live in ontario?

I’m Australian

oh ok

because i wanted to ask about a sex ed change made in the provincial government in ontario

Oh

What happened?

so basically Doug Ford, Ontario's premier (conservative pary), repealled talking about lgbt/sexuality, consent and sexting from sex ed. Personnally, I don't find it to be a problem but there's been a huge revolt. My school even did a walkout to protest this.

and i just wanted to know your opinion

To stop it?

wdym?

So they just want to teach abstinence? :/

i dont understand the question

or just the word abstinence lol

They want you to save sex until marriage

not really

how i see it: its more so the parents job than the school to educate their kids about LGBT
