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

and consent and sexting

Consent and sexting need to be talked about in mainstream schools

That’s a definite

Why do you think that? I'm just curious about the mindset of the opposite side of my political views?

In my school, LGBTQ+ sex-ed is like an optional class

not in ontario

I’m more of a centrist, but there’s every chance that because they don’t learn about consent, they might never learn?

sex ed is part of gym which is maditory til 9th grade

And that leads to increased chances of rape/non-consensual sex and there’s a higher chance of rape or being accused of rape

i dont think so

I’d have to research it more

All I know is, teaching abstinence doesn’t really work
