hey gaurav...welcome !!!
)
now coming back to the topic...i did mention
"by 12th today every student knows about sexual activities ..but what they need to now is to take it from scientific view point & try to learn how our body works to combat all such reactions...how we can prevent ourself from disease & how to maintain it well!! this can protect many .... so i wouls RATHER FORCE ON STRENGTHENING PHYSICAL EDUCATION WITH basic REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM STUDY INCORPORATED IN IT..."
that itself means watever you are saying!!!
i tried calling it sex education as linking it with sex itself gives a wrong notation in people mind, & thats really hard & loong term change that we can do!!!
so just change the package" name it physical education" & impart the same knowledge!!! tahts wat i meant!! i hope now its clear!!!
second about rumours!!they are always there!1 be it any thing! we really can't stop them!!& bleive me in many cases they help also!! people are rational so they try to find out realities! ofcourse we should try to minimise them but again"dn't put hard brains on them, instead there are posters in every govt. hospitals taht show the basic modes of transmission"
by unsafe sex, by reused infected needles , by infected blood transfusion, infected mother to child transmission( pregnancy,CAN BE AVOIDED).....
these are the only ways...some also suspect taht infected mother's breast milk also transmits the virus but no studies to support it yet!!!
THESE ARE ONLY & ONLY METHODS OF HIV INFECTION!! REST ALL OTHER THINGS ARE CRAP!!!
EVEN IF MALE SEMEN( THE FLUID CONTAINING SPERMS KEPT OUTSIDE FOR 2 MIN, THE VIRUS DIES AWAY!!!)
thats all we need to know!!!
take care

Good points Anu...
The main problem, as u said, is linking physical education to the word 'sex' and hence taking a wrong notion that it is taboo...
What u have highlighted is pretty nice, since people get confused with the rumors spread through the internet and hence, people take all sorts of unnecessary measures too.
It is true that with the high increase of internet and adult entertainment industry, people come to know about sexual activities, at a very early and hence it is very necessary to start 'physical education' (which should be the correct term to be used to avoid confusion) at an early age.
All of u might be knowing that chapters related to human reproduction is introduced in 8th or 9th std. itself and hence i feel that is the correct time to keep an additional (and compulsory) class for physical education too.
Let's see how it can be done...
1) The most important thing is the permission of the parents on such sensitive issues and hence, the school principle/head master should talk to the parents and should also make them talk to the concerned teacher. The parents can feel at ease that their child is in good hands.
2) Parents should talk to their children regarding such sensitive issues. I know many will feel hesitant, at first, however, the same should be handled by the teacher also, viz. special session should be held, BY THE SAME TEACHER, to help them discuss it with their wards.
3) The person handling physical education classes should be properly chosen. It is very important since, the way in which teachings have to be imparted is extremely important.
It is true that even a 10th std students knows the sexual activities very well, but as it is, the major source of each one of them is pornography, dirty magazines and incomplete knowledge from friends. Hence, the need of the hour is to take action as and well, the subjects are taught.
The subject is more difficult to take for girl students and hence a matured, well experienced lady teacher should handle it, so that there is no embarrassment for the girl child.
The focus should be on what sexual activity means, the preventions, the diseases related to it, etc. When a proper understanding and a free environment to interact with the teachers would be available, the innocent minds will be aware of what's best for them.
Again, camps should be organised and a proper awareness programme should be conducted in the rural areas as well, where the hesitation and consequently the ignorance is very high.
Apart from these, considering the other factors, a proper blood test should be conducted in a reputed hospital to ensure that one is free of AIDS. The doctors should ensure that they spend time with the patients explaining them what is the correct nature of the disease. Some people freak out by the name of AIDS and consider an AIDS-affected person as an untouchable (eg. as shown in the movie, 'My Brother Nikhil')
Hence, awareness camps should be held across the cities, and advertisements shown in television, to remove the doubts of the people.
We know that AIDS has no cure, yet medicines are available to help a person lead a comfortable life. Yet the most distressing thing is the condemnation of the person of the society and hence filling the patient with rage and anguish. Special counsellors should be made available to them so that such people can be helped.
I think Internet, television and newspapers are a very useful means of spreading this awareness.
Please let me know, if i have missed any point in the discussion.
