大多數(shù)中國人提到“性”這個話題時很尷尬,人們認為“性”很敏感。這就是學校不愿意給學生教授性知識的原因。然而,在我看來,性教育不能再等待。
Why do youth need sex education? Most teenagers get the HIV virus or sexually transmitted diseases because of having sex with an infected person. They can avoid any risk of HIV or STD if they have learned how to protect themselves. On the other hands, teenagers’pregnancy rate in China is astonishingly high. According to the survey, more than a million teenagers become accidentally pregnant each year. Now,this situation becomes serious.
為什么年輕人需要性教育呢?大多數(shù)青少年感染艾滋病或性病是因為與攜帶者發(fā)生關系。如果他們知道該如何保護自己,就能夠完全避免這些情況。另一方面,在中國,青少年的懷孕率高得驚人。通過調查顯示,每年有超過100萬名青少女意外懷孕?,F(xiàn)如今,這種情況更加嚴重。
In my opinion, sex education is absolutely essential. The schools have the responsibility to teach students to have the right attitude towards the gender issue. Taking about sex is not a shame. It is not embarrassment. The question is no longer whether sex education should be taught, but rather how it should be taught.
在我看來,性教育非常有必要。學校有責任教授學生對性問題的正確的態(tài)度。談論“性”并不可恥,也不尷尬。但現(xiàn)問題已不是該不該教授性知識,而是該如何教。
