There are some reasons as to why it is important to teach about sex to school kids. As well as there are certain downsides too.

The easy access to pornographic sites

When the kids reach the age of adolescence, they start questioning and wondering about the changes that happen within the body. When the kid is not having the freedom to question out openly, he gains access to the internet to access some of the pornographic sites. The videos that are shown there motivate the kid to try these out with someone. This is one of the deadliest effects of not teaching the kids what sex is all about. These kinds of abusive videos on the internet are the major reason behind many of the juvenile rapes that are happening all around. The knowledge of safe and unsafe sexual practices can prevent such thoughts in a kid's mind.
