Maybe I misunderstood your text, but there’s a fault in this sentence’s grammar (and also I’m no native speaker…).
And you may be right asking whether a 10 year old could know if he’s homosexual or not. I think, he at least should know that there is something called “homosexuality” and what it is – from a neutral spot. As well as he should know other basic informations about sex.

TO Simon Columbus

dude i’m not against homosexuals and when it comes to religion i’m mainly a non believer, so what i’m trying to tell is that in the gulf we have a different kind of homosexuals, thier not homosexual but because there is no women around then they turn into bullies and they have sex with very feminine men, or they target young kids so do you still thing it is a good thing…

what i know is that guy people would have a normal relationship and have sex normally and even have love in the matter (if i’m not wrong) but here you get freaks not gay..

and how do you expect a 10 years old to know if he is gay or not??? when some other kid molest him or an older person he might think that it is the way to go… don’t you think ?????

@ Bahraini and proud / 48:

“3rd thing is that morons who have banned this subject from schools have caused more harm than good, because look at the unwritten chart that you’ll never notice if you don’t live in the streets of Bahrain that shows the percentage of homosexualty in Bahrain..”

You consider homosexuality a harm? O.k., maybe it’s your religion, but in fact your not better then those you bash here… sorry, but that’s reality. And homosexuality is not a matter of sex education but a genetic disposition.

Very good comments by many of you. Like someone else said, in America it is pretty much the same thing as what you have been doing and going through Mahmood. Unfortunately many of our movies are creating a different impression. Children can get into bad company, especially when they start experimenting with drugs, which brings along promiscuity to the extreme, stealing money and valuable things to support the habit, more and more sex, and unplanned pregnancies.

It is a very good thing what you did at home Mahmood. Its good effect goes way beyond just sex. There are many dangerous things out there for young people, and openness between parent and child seems to be the best tool to have the child cope effectively with them.

Best regards,

Vic

Sex Education Class (Puberty Talk)

ARE YOU IDIOT WHAT HELL YOU TAKING ABOUT PLS CHANGE YOU NAME TO NONE MUSLIM NAME..

First of all this guy can’t write for ****, the 2nd thing here is SEX education is not against islam in anyway, 3rd thing is that morons who have banned this subject from schools have caused more harm than good, because look at the unwritten chart that you’ll never notice if you don’t live in the streets of Bahrain that shows the percentage of homosexualty in Bahrain..

Greeting to all of those who fought in the name of stopping sex abuse against children, because the increasing number of cases that occure every year. not to mention RAPE that nobody speaks about as well and in most cases they consider the victim guilty and throw all responsibility on him\her…

the main cause of these owful things that happen is SEX IGNORANCE.

final thought….. who the ****, the gives him or her the right to ask, but no infact it sounded more like an order another person to change his\her’s name into a non muslim name????????

people like this make me :sick:

Hi there,

I really think that it’s empowering to give people information. When it comes to having (or not having sex), people have to be strong to make their own decisions. And how can you make a decision when you don’t have any info?

I’m a teacher in China. A student told me that sex ed is really really bad here, and that an 18 year old friend had a baby. My student admitted that she didn’t know how to use condoms. Next day I gave her the information leaflet from a box of condoms, she thought it was usefull.

I think if my student would have a down to earth dad who’s willing to share information with her (like Mahmood) then she didn’t have to confide in her teacher.

Anyway, I do think that there are many myths connected to sex but also relationship flying around in the west and the western media too. (I’m from Europe). Wish my dad or mum had told me that when you find a partner, everything isn’t automatically perfect and romantic etc. etc.

This topic is more than just sex education, it is forward thinking. Not being western or trying to be western. No one is trying to be anything other than a good person. Religion has no part in opression and the like, it is human nature, the old views passed down from generation to generation. I love my religion and feel like it is more than what it is perceived as. People simply do not understand how much forward Isam is and how bad interpretation leads to what is happening around the world as we speak.

I feel upset, angry and annoyed at these people who think it is shameful to talk! Why would Mahmood be ashamed? What did he do wrong? What about people reading this blog? How will it change anything? Its amusing, educational and most of all important for Bahrainis to know that its not wrong to be forward thinkers. I believe that a person should learn from their neighbours (the rest of the world). Take the good and leave the bad. No harm in learning something that is helpful to your society from westerners and vice versa.

Its shocking to see people that respond in such fluent english and call Mahmood a western wanabe. In their way of thinking, they should also be called that for learning english and wanting to be western.

Bahrain is alot more liberal and forward than the other Gulf states. I wont go there cos it needs a whole new thread by itself.

The fact of the matter is that it is not wrong to see your child as a human being. It is wrong to treat them like lesser beings.

People please try to learn and not be so rude and thick headed. There is more to life than being afraid of peoples words.
