so had a very enjoyable day with my housemates, decided to join the Training for Trainers using the LPPKN module for secondary school kids to teach them about sex education. it had two modules by the name: I'm in Control
2. abstinence
for me, it was really thorough while being simple enough for secondary school students whilst being interactive. i'm sure everyone knows about teenage pregnancies, babies being thrown away in the dustbin and etc. while i still don't understand how mothers can do this ( with the exception of the mentally retarded ) i think this issue has long been overdue. as usual in malaysia, we address issues late but at least we address the issue.
so the module was interactive as well as educational, we had three team counselors from LPPKN who guided us using the three modules. we had interactive sessions, role plays and also a long question-answer session with them.
of course, nothing is perfect. i think the module addressed girls more than boys, my personal view is that sometimes boys can become victims as well. they also do not discuss on different religious aspects of it ( while i do agree that a lot of Malays are involved, it's because Malays make the most of the population in Malaysia ). Also, @teen cafe's are not strategically placed, i think they should be run by adolescents for adolescents.
they are also making another model for parents ( accessing the starting point of these problems ) which is vital. in conclusion, i'd have no wains in committing myself into this program. it is a very important issue because these girls or boys do not realize how special and precious they are. they do not have to prove their love to anyone via sex of anything connected to it.
