I think sex education is being introduced to children at too young of an age. Why? Because at such a young age children are curious about everything their taught and discover. Teaching young kids about sex opens their minds to a world they are not ready for and all they are going to want to do is explore that world. So now what has happened, is kids who weren't thinking or caring about sex all of a sudden they are interested in it. What happens next? Look around, it's everywhere... kids having sex WAY too young, girls pregnant at such a young age. Now, we can't say that teachers are accountable for this but the education system definitely plays a huge role in my opinion. Therefore, in teaching young kids about sexuality, perhaps it is more detrimental than it is doing good!

I think before we come to the conclusion that sex ed is being taught at too young an age, one needs to reflect to whom the information is being taught. The reality is different population demographics are exposed to different realities. Rather than coming to the conclusion that sex ed should not be taught prior to a certain age, the question that needs to be asked is how will this education and information aid or harm the target group. In turn the information needs to be tailored to meet the needs of each group individually. If we simply conclude collectively that it is right or wrong, we are overlooking the reason the subject is taught. Being to provide appropriate and important information.
