Blog Post #2

The topic that I will be discussing is, "Should Sex Education Be Taught in Schools?" The reason I picked this topic is because being 18 years old, you don't exactly want to listen to your 10 year old cousin tell you about what she learned about sex. That isn't really a conversation anyone wants to have with someone so young.

Questions I have about my topic are:
- Is teaching young children sex education in schools appropriate?
- Why is it in every schools lesson plan?
- Do some children feel uncomfortable about learning it but are too afraid to tell their teacher?

Again, my topic is, "Should Sex Education Be Taught in Schools?" Would you feel comfortable with someone else teaching your very young child about sex? I know I would want to be the first person to talk to my daughter about, "the birds and the bees" and not have someone who thinks they know what their talking about to teach them that.

Well, my name is Amanda Berry and I grew up in the Dallas, Fort Worth area my entire life. I really enjoy learning different things about the body, especially the anatomy of the human body. I have always had an interest in what the body can do internally as well as externally but the brain is the main part that I want to study. That is mainly due to the fact that I was in a car accident about 2 months ago and ended up getting a concussion from it. Most people I have talked to that have had a concussion have told me that it goes away quickly. But I do not see that happening for me any time soon. That is because everyone’s brain is different and they all heal at different speeds. I plan on using my biology degree to become an Occupational Therapist specializing in the brain and pediatrics. I have always had a love for kids, ever since I was one. Another thing I enjoy doing is actually being by myself. I know that sounds weird but sometimes I just need a break from what is going on out in the world and just have time to myself. I am definitely not one for adventure or danger so that is why I tend to be alone the majority of the time. I tend to pick friends who are daring and crazy and I just happen to not be like them. Well that is enough about me, I hope this gave you a little insight on who I am!
