It humours me whenever there is a discussion on whether children should be told about sex. Hell NO!! Not children, but adolescents should be.
After having topped the charts on now-old tunes of population and AIDS, do we really need to answer the question? I heard one of the so-called conservative cliques educate us about its perils, the dangers that such knowledge would pose to our social set-up.
Give me a break SIR! Adolescents already KNOW, they all have seen street dogs!! Although in a somewhat blurred sort of way. I knew it from the time I was in my 2nd grade, would agree nevertheless, not everyone gets as lucky as I was. The blurred image gives rise to a dangerous concoction, mixing young energy with misconceptions and distorted facts ?
What’s wrong if they get to know facts from the educational establishment, instead of from the web or some horrible magazines? Is it not the purpose of education to fight ignorance and make people aware? Do we really need to remain a sexually-oppressed nation? Why do we run away from being enlightened, shamelessly embossing school emblems with the words: “तमसो माँ ज्योतिर्गामयः”?
Do we really need to ask us about the pros and cons of adolescence education? C’mon people, this is not even a debate we already know.
Remember the Chloromint ad: Dubaara mat pucchna!
