For the benefit of those living outside the US. How old is a 7th grader?
12-13, youngest person to take this was just eleven years old though. (I also outside the U.S)
That old? Wow.

I mean seriously. From the context I'd assumed that this was meaning 7 or 8 year olds.

Over here in the UK we get the first proper sex-ed about 10 and to be honest that was long after we'd all learnt everything about it.
Actually, where I live in the US we got our sex-ed also about age 10. I bet the kids were just saying they were 'disturbed' because they wanted to get out of the class. That or the teacher they had was just that bad.

Some Hardy 7th graders who took the survey last Tuesday, Solomon reports, were "disturbed," "bewildered," and "confused" by its contents; one reportedly "hyperventilated."

Really they're in Year 7, at that age you are meant to giggle at sex. The only way kids that ages become "Disturbed", "Confused" and "Bewildered" over sex is if they gave Sodomy instructions aswell as diagrams showing triple penatration.

11-13? Hah, I had my first sex ed lesson at 10 which was probably WAY more graphic than that test. We even had a video.
My first sex ed lesson was when I was 7... my dad taped over one of my Power Ranger vhs' with pay per view porn and he tried vaguely to explain it...
Ugh.. A waste of a perfectly good episode of Power Rangers.

Also, the hell they didn't know what sex was. I lost my virginity at 15-ish (14, but it was two weeks until my birthday). Not that much older than they were. Although I did have my first time with someone a really cared about (my girlfriend, we were together for 6 months at that point but we're nearing the two year mark now). Plus this isn't like.. Oh! That.. Did anyone hear about that "School Safety Zar" that Obama appointed who had schools hand out information about where to get anonymous gay sex? THAT'S graphic and inappropriate, but of course we don't hear about that. We hear about a school asking "Can you put on a condom?" questions.

Why do parents need special forms to alert them of this stuff? The survey's not even telling them things, it's asking what they think. I don't think they should be required to take the survey, or any survey, but it's asinine for a parent to tell their kids they can't. I'd have gotten up my mother's ass if she tried that on me, even at that age. (given, she is partly responsible for that sentiment).

Accordinq to Freud, infant sexuality.
BOOM your mind is blown
Their parents had no idea about early 10th qrade psycholoqy? Really?

Humans beqin to have sexual thouqhts before aqe 1. They don't fully mentally express it until around aqe 10, however, and their bodies don't catch up to their minds until about aqe 13.

This knowledqe has been around for literally more than a hundred years.

it is pretty simple also freud was pretty much the coolest psycholoqist

LOL! OMFG! RLY?

Sorry, but that are the only things that comes to my mind when I read stuff like that.
I'm not anti american, but sometimes I wish Al-Quaida and Co. would rather have attacked the bible-belt instead of NY...

Sad.

I understand parents being afraid and wanting to 'protect their child's innocence' but the fact is we dont live in an innocent world. If parents and school officials don't educate them about sex, it's not as if they wont hear about it. They will just hear about it from unreliable sources ... and by that I mean on the bus ride home. >_>

Protection is one thing but ignorance isn't protection. If you want to protect, then educate them, and give them all the right reasons, to make the right choices.

Kids are fuckin. I'm not kidding. They're way too damn young, but even in 7th grade, they still want to fuck.
I hear stories about kids in my old middle school(6th-8th grade) fuckin in the bathroom, so I don't buy into this shit. When they say graphic I was expecting something like they were showing pictures of herpes infested pussies or something. Just asking questions asking if you know how to do something or know certain facts isn't in anyway messed up.

I first learned about puberty in 5th grade, although not about sex much until 8th grade.

Really? 7th grade and people are freaking out? I was getting formal sex-ed as a part of the regular curriculum by then! Are people in the States really such incredible prudes that they're shocked by kids taking a survey about things that are taught by a regular teacher here in Canada?
I was getting sex ed in 2nd grade, the american's(around my area) are far from prudes. That said, it could be different in certain parts of the US such as the bible belt or something...Or Utah.

True, but he also spoke a lot of theory and very little that could be tested and measured.

Do you have any studies you can post to back that theory?

Holy shit, American kids are pussies.

When I was 12 I had access to shit like pictures of dongs and vaginas. Didn't even hyperventilate ONCE. Gave me and my friends a good laugh though (because dongs are dirty and therefore hilarious... man, kids that age have a weird sense of humor)
The school systems suck, after i left my elementry school they no longer allowed dodge ball because people could get hurt, they also took away all the tether balls and dont allow people to play tag. luckily as you move up in the school system teachers no longer care what you do aslong as you dont go too far.

Kids were crying and in tears over a sex ed survey?

Bull. Fucking. Shit!

What the hell is wrong with these people? I was getting sex ed in seventh grade (actually, as early as fifth grade, being a girl; we had to learn about 'that time of the month'), and most of our reactions were to giggle uncontrollably, or to be bored out of our minds. Jesus Christ, are these kids made of glass or something?

The parents are either lying about how their kids responded, or this test was administered to a tribe of aliens with completely different emotional responses to human beings.

Or DC apparently, since that's where this happened...

Edit: Nevermind, it was Washington state.

'Hardy' is not a description I'd give to the kids or their parents, both of their reactions to this seem to come under the banner of 'precious'. How sensitive do you have to be to let something like that effect you...

I found out when I was in fifth grade. I was I believe 10 or 11...not sure exactly. We didn't really care, but then the next year, sex became our main interest. Surprising how quickly we go from kids having fun at recess to horny teens wanting a quick shag.

They say stupid shit like this all the time, usually because one or two kids freaked out, and those one or two kids are always the ones that have already been fucked up by their parents to the point that they're ashamed of bare ankles. It's one of those situations where the best solution would be to slap some parents, but unfortunately it'll just mean more forms and more frustration for the people that actually have to teach these kids.

And now that I think I understand the sort of questions the test was asking I have to ask 'So?'

I was having sex-ed classes when I was 8 that involved questions like this. I was actually surprised when I got to 13 and the sex-ed lessons stopped, presumably because they didn't want to give us poor impressionable teenagers ideas. They of course started again when we were 17, and a fat lot of good they were doing by then.

Seriously, do Americans put this off until the absolute last minute? That seems potentially dangerous.
