The one thing I truly miss about debate is the so-called intellectually argue about a topic. And the recent argument I have been judging in my head is about sex education. Even though the previous post was about sex, doesn’t mean I’m a horny bitch. Since about two months past, the Malaysian government has been arguing about establishing sex education in school for our youths, like, no duh.
The issue to establish sex education subject for our youths came from the most popular topic; teenage pregnancy and illegal abortion. You know, you were horny, you had sex whether or not it was making love or just plain sex with no feelings attached and then 3 months later, viola! You’re pregnant! Phew, that wasn’t so bad, was it? Except that now, you gotta get rid of that ‘thing’ that’s growing inside of you. How? Well, there’s always the sewers, the dump, the garbage bin or even the toilet bowl even! How convenient, they happened to be there.
I have nothing against having sex. As we have always heard; pandai buat, pandai tanggung. However, what I really do have something against is the fact that there is no sense of humanity and responsibility. Looking at a perception, morally, unmarried girl teens being pregnant is fairly wrong, doesn’t matter what religion you are; Muslim or not. Every religion do teach the meaning of each soul and how precious each life is. They are not meant to be created and be thrown away like they’re your unfinished double cheeseburger.

The issues are there and so is the solution. We’re not Westerners and I am aware of that but does anyone actually know what sex education is all about? The term ‘sex education’ is so widely used but the meaning is so vague for our Malaysian. Sex education is not about teaching ‘how to have sex’, instead it’s about ‘how to have save sex’ a.k.a how to avoid being impregnated and throwing more innocent souls in the drains where it is all mashed up with your digested sushis and bubur lambok.
If the government is so worried about youths having sex, don’t be. Worry more on how many more innocent lives will be sacrificed because of the youths’ immaturity. Stop looking at only one view. Take a look at many other levels. If you say that our youths are our future leaders then shouldn’t the government and the society start looking after the youths and finding ways to guide and educate them? All for Wawasan 2020.
Sex education is where they teach everything about safe sex and it’s not only about using condoms but also most importantly on how to check if you’re pregnant. That’s where pregnancy test and birth pills comes in. Whether or not those who are having sex want to have sex and not practice safe sex, let them, that’s none of nobody’s business. But, if they still cause an innocent life to be drained away, then, that’s where the line, “I told you so,” comes in.
You can’t stop everyone to abide what you say but you can take in the safety measures. It’s time for us to change or as what Malaysians always say; take it slow. It makes me wonder, honestly, is taking it slow all that we have got to say when the world is changing so rapidly and time waits for nobody?
This issue is huge and not to be waited by religion and politic democracy. You want better youths for the future, start thinking from the bottom of your hearts. Social acceptance and support by family and friends are at the top of the chart. This coming from my own experience, I have friends that had gotten impregnated and being discriminated and also being shoo-ed by their families. So much for ‘family will never leave you’.
I know I sounded cynical and very anti-whatever but everyone has been denying what’s real. He says this is right and another he says that this other one right. Stop arguing amongst ourselves and look at what’s important. 5 years from now, will our sewers, garbage bins and dumping sites be flooded with babies?
