Dobs my school spent 50 million years on drugs lol, 5-6 and 8th grade were about drugs, 7th grade was about sex, STDs, and abusive relationships. Before 5th grade we talked about nutrition, parts of the body (except not the reproductive parts), and how we’d be able to afford to go to Disney world with the money it would cost to smoke. Oh and we had a first aid and cpr unit in 6th grade. I remember in 7th grade a friend of mine who was in 6th grade couldn’t go on our trip to six flags cuz she fainted during the burns video and got a concussion. And I remember watching it myself in 6th grade, and the same year we also watched a video by some lady about how the drug monster got her son and now he’s dead.
Jez yeah I was sitting there watching it like “that’s not true thoughhh”. That’s horrible that that girl announced that to the entire class. We never talked about anal sex in my health class at all. Or any kind of sex other than vaginal intercourses, and we didn’t really talk about what it was, just the consequences of it. You’re right though that it’s nothing compared to some of what is taught over here. I’ve had friends tell me about teachers who told them that birth control isn’t effective at all and fails the majority of the time, and that condoms didn’t actually help at all. And then there’s the crazy number of people who thinks using a tampon makes you lose your virginity. Like what??? Although to be fair, 7% of the US population thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows sooooo
