| Comment | Yep, I went to a catholic school and remember getting shown one of those "horror videos" of abortions with dead fetuses on display... IN A FUCKING SCIENCE CLASS. Yeah, it technically was a science lesson, but it was actually a 'scare the shite of them and make them hate the idea of abortion" type of lesson.
ZERO sex education. My mates going to non-denominational did the whole cucumber condom thing. Condoms were never, ever mentioned to us. The totality of sex education was a three or four line paragraph in a biology textbook explaining the basic mechanics of coitus.
The girls got one lesson in the assembly hall, which we all were rumoring to be the condom and cucumber thing, but afterwards it turned out to be just be a lesson on sanitary towels.
This was 1998-1999-2000-thereabouts.
edit: I didn't even realize it was weird until years after leaving school. As a young teen you just accept what is being given to you as normal. |
