The huge differences of sex education between China and America represent two attitudes toward it. Students in America need to take classes about human sexuality in a normal middle school or senior high school. Those classes will teach students the physiological differences between male and female. They even have consultants teach students to maintain healthy relationships. However, Chinese school rarely has specific sex education class in China. In general, teachers only mention it in psychology class. There is no constructive education system about human sexuality for students to learn. In an American family, parents will separately teach kids how to protect themselves when they sexually active. At the age of 11, parents will secretly put a condom in children's wallet in case something happens. But in Chinese families, sex education is not on the topic list of conversations. Parents who avoid their kids to contact with these knowledges cause children's blind spots of healthy relationship or sex. The typical American society has many health centers and organization for citizens to learn how to prevent disease caused from unhealthy sex like AIDS. In this relative open country, people don't need to talk about it secretly. On the contrast, education about human sexuality is a taboo word in China, a relative conservative county. Some people still have prejudices about this topic. America and China do have significant differences about education of human sexuality.
