Sex Education in Malaysia

Nowadays, there are many social problems related to teenagers in our country especially baby dumping. The government had announced that the way to overcome this problem is sex education should be taught to children at their early age. However, on my point of view children are too young to learn sex education and teachers are not confident in teaching sex education. Firstly, children are too young to learn sex education. This is because at the early age, children are eager to try new things and get new experiences. Therefore, when they learn sex education, it will make them to practice it and lead them to have early intercourse. Furthermore ,children also known as bad decision makers. This is because children are too young and immature, therefore they do not know to differentiate the goods and bad for them. When, they learn sex education, they will exposed to a new environment which they do not have any boundary to discuss about sex without knowing the negative or positive effects. In conclusion, the idea of sex education be taught to children at their early age should be abolished because children are immature and bad decision makers. Secondly, the idea of sex education should be abolished because teachers are not confident in teaching sex education. This is because teachers have acknowledged the lack of formal training in teaching sex education. Therefore, teachers have difficulties to teach students and it is also will make students less understand the subject which will give many negative effects than positive effects. In addition, sex education contains sensitive issues and this will make teachers difficult to give full explanation about the subject. Therefore, students will become more confused easily. It is because, the teachers do not know the best explanation to make students understand better. In conclusion, the idea of sex education should be abolished because teachers are not well prepared to teach the subject. In conclusion, the idea of sex education be taught to children at their early age should be abolished as it gives many negative effects. Therefore, parents should instill their children with greater Islamic values.
