    Sex education should be introduced in schools starting in grades 3 or 4 for several reasons: 1) It helps children understand changes to their body during puberty and avoids embarrassment about sexual topics. 2) It educates children about risks of inappropriate sexual behavior and how to protect themselves from harm. 3) Studies show that the majority of sexual crimes against children are committed by people known to the child, so early education is important for prevention.

    Introduction

    Society belief: Sex education should not


    be implemented in schools or taught to
    children.

    Our arguments: Sex education is a crucial


    factor in protecting the health and well-
    being of children.

    Belief: Essential to communicate with children regarding sex.


    Punchng.com. (2021)

    Case study: A teacher had received a public backlash for allegedly


    making rape jokes.

    Rebuttal:
    Teachers do not feel comfortable discussing sexuality openly.
    Are afraid of being misquoted or misinterpreted
    Curious student, intrigued by a teacher’s explanation
    Conservative religious groups oppose sexuality education, could
    promote early sex.

    (Dr Rebecca Lee Pei Ern & Dr Khor Swee Kheng, 2021) - Malaysia Kini.
    Grades 3 and 4 should be suitable for giving students more knowledge about sex and
    there body

    It helps children understand their body and not be surprised when their body changes
    during puberty

    It avoids children feel embarrassed to talk about sexual topics, and make sexual
    matters a rude joke.

    It helps children understand the risks and negative effects caused by wrong sexual
    behavior

    To teach children how to protect themselves properly to avoid damaging situations that
    leave mentally indelible wounds even when they grow up
    (Terakoya Kids, 2018)
    Case study
    60% of sexual crimes involving children
    are committed by acquaintances

    A woman victim who was sexually


    abused by relative during her childhood
    days
    (The Star,2019)

    Belief: The word Sex become a taboo topic between


    parents and children.

    Rebuttal: Sexual Education should start from


    home

    Start talking to your child about sex when they are young and continue
    that conversation as they get older.

    A child is exposed to information about sex from sources such as school,


    friends and the media at a much earlier age than many parents expect.
    Conclusion

    We should be teaching children that they own their


    own bodies
    Sex education should begin in early childhood
    Should begin as early as possible, starting in grade 3 or
    4
    Sex education can help children be more confident in
    their sexual development
