On a serious note, it also teaches us it’s okay for children to have sex with their step parents.
What the hell kind of thread is this?

What does this even mean 
if you mean do you think we should sexually educate 14 year olds then my answer is absolutely yes. Studies have shown that sex education begins to be helpful starting as young as age 5. Not full explicit sex ed but like these are your parts, teaching about consent and not letting anyone touch you if it makes you uncomfortable, etc.

Absolutely. Start when they’re babies. Normalize all sexualities and gender identities. By 14 they shouldn’t have to just be discovering that what they’ve been feeling their whole life is a normal thing a lot if people go through.

Me at 5 or 6. While my dad was out of state working my mom had a bf (or several bfs). I found her bf’s porn while she and bf were out on a date I guess. He should have hidden it better

Also, kids are already “bombarded” by heteronormative depictions of sexuality even without the internet.

That’s fcked up.
When my dad found out the site I used to frequently visit, I just told him it was an ad that kept popping up.
There is a website called K9 I think. Can’t remember but when K (my ex husband) and I were using it it was free. Basically you can set it up to block questionable websites. You need a passcode if you want to access.
I think my aunt told me once she googled the White House. Turns out there’s a porn site with whitehouse in it. Oopsy. My aunt definitely doesn’t do porn. Crazy stuff.
First off, I come in peace. 
Just wanted to point out a few things.
If it is, in fact, the LGBTQ+ thread I made that you’re referring to, then, in compliance with the site’s rules, there’s no sexual imagery or talk of sex acts. It’s a tame thread because it’s strictly moderated. As I understand it, politics, religion, and aliens are forbidden subjects here because they are the most common subjects of and triggers for delusions and posts about them could be potentially damaging to people actively in psychosis; also, discussions about those subjects can get heated even in non-MI communities, so they’re best left off the site altogether. You can argue those same conditions could apply to talk of sexuality/gender but those are facets of people inherently tied to who they are, and quelling discussion of them is discriminatory, which is something we’re trying to combat in this our year 2019.
You posit that the onus for teens’ internet habits should be on the parents, which I agree with, so it shouldn’t be entirely on us to provide a teen-friendly experience on this site. Besides, like has been brought up in this thread already, there are far wilder pastures out there where teens would prefer to get their information on adult subjects. A schizophrenia forum is the last place I would look for that stuff, personally.
I mean no disrespect. I’m quite fond of you, @anon53623539. Just wanted to do my part in clearing up some misconceptions.

I don’t think schools have the right to give sex Ed without parental permission. If they get permission then fine. I know I learned about reproduction in Biology class.

It’s fine to have conversations about being transgender or being gay with 14 year olds. Your an idiot if you think otherwise.

Are you talking about in public school? Without parental permission? Nobody should be talking to my high school kid about anything without my permission.

Would you rather they get their information from peoples opinions? I think this thread is going to get locked.

I’d rather they hear it from me. They’re going to hear stuff but a parent should have the right to choose whether a teacher talks to their kid about these things. It might get locked. Sure.

I’ve been known to make up words/phrases while in psychosis.

Why? Would you tell them it differently?

Of course they should learn that in sex ed, I don’t think that should be optional either. I don’t think that is what this thread is about, dunno is talking about the lbtq thread like talking about those things to kids is somehow inappropriate.
