Sex Education For Preschoolers: Is It Beneficial Or Just Plain Suicide

As a nursing student and a conservative person, I must say that I am unsure of my stand about this particular issue. According to studies, the best time to teach your children about sex is when the child asks you about that topic for the first time. For many years, it has been a tradition that parents would impose restrictive measures to stop the child from asking those kinds of questions. Parents would usually say: "No", "Not now", "It's bad, don't mention it", or "You're still a kid, you don't understand what you're saying."  From what I've also observed from the past, those children that were often scolded have higher tendency of having low self-esteem or perhaps the tendency to rebel compared to those that were carefully taught. As I have said, I am yet unsure of my stand, but if you insist on asking me, I must say that I am “for” sex education for preschoolers considering these listed points below:

Point #1: It is better for children to have a “guided exposure” to the reality of this world. As an example, instead of letting the child cover his or her eyes when there are sex or kissing scenes in the movie, why not let the child see it and explain to him or her that those things are only done by adults, and that it is the reason why he or she is alive right now. The tendency of depriving the children from those kind of information will lead the children to seek answers for themselves.

Point #2: It takes off a huge load that parents need to carry. At least parents won’t be sitting down anymore with their children explaining about the “birds and the bees” or the “bees and the flowers”. Don’t you think it is much better for a professional to handle that situation?

Point #3: It is a clear indication of accepting the reality that the problem does exist. The main reason why this problem is still persisting is the fact that most parents are still in denial of the existence of the problem.

Point #4: “Prevention is better than cure.” As reinforcement to my point #3, it is better that we try to resolve the problem while it is still at its primary stage. Why? Ask yourself this question: “What is there to teach about sex education if the child is already pregnant?” It is not that I’m allowing premarital sex. What I’m trying to say is that there is really the tendency for it to happen.

Point #5: Teaching at an early stage. Many people would ask why is it that sex education should be taught at a very young age. It is because it is the age bracket when the child is susceptible to learning new information. It is also the time when the child is not yet preoccupied with the wrong idea related to sex education.

I am not saying that I am correct. We all have our own point of views. If you have your own stand about this issue, you are free to comment. God Bless You!

Perfectly Imperfect

Perfection itself is imperfection.

 I have always said before and I will still say it once more, there is no such thing as a perfect person because it is through the imperfection of this world that we become perfect. Digging deeper to the meaning of the quotation above, it means that you don't need to achieve perfection because imperfection in itself brings beauty to what seems to be perfect in the eyes of people.

There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.

Love is not seeing the perfect person, but seeing the imperfect person perfectly.

Have you ever catch yourself thinking that if you were just a bit different and good looking, then you would be more appreciated by more people? Do you know that the thinking of most people that no one like them is just actually a product of imagination? There are things that are better left unmodified because it is the factor that makes them unique and spectacular. Look at the 'Tower of Pisa'. It is the product of architectural error, but instead of it being hated by people, it is being more appreciated now. Should we really hate imperfection? Remember these things: It is because of imperfection that we need our special someone to fill in the missing piece in us. It is by this that we get to let our crushes teach us the subjects that we don't understand. It is by this that we can offer our loved ones a ride or a dinner for a treat. And it is by this that we get to meet our destined one. Don't you just love being imperfect? Who needs to be perfect if you know that imperfection is the reason why all of us are unique.

The Top 17 Ultimate Reasons Why People Fail

As we know, all human beings are created equal, yet we don't know why there are those who succeed and those who fail to meet their goals in life. In this article you will see some of the reasons why there are some who fail despite the effort of doing good.

1. Some people live by the expectation of others.
2. Some people do often imitate others rather than being themselves. Have you ever heard of parents saying to their children, "Can't you be like your brother/sister who always get high grades?" This is the exact reason why there are some people, instead of succeeding in their studies, fail to meet the standards because of the pressure they feel.
3. Some people are afraid to break traditionalism.
4. Some people are afraid of the consequences they might get to the point that they don't want to try anything at all.

The businessmen you know in the modern times never succeed by doing exact way some people did it before. They made a difference that is why they were noticed by the consumers. People should never be afraid of doing new things for it might not be recognized readily, I know as time pass by it will soon be.
5. Some people fail to learn spiritual knowledge.
6. Some people are very materialistic. There are many kinds of knowledge, but all of those are senseless unless you gain spiritual knowledge. What now if you get alot of money if God will end up your life tomorrow. We need to honor, if you don't believe in a God, perhaps a higher entity for you to be guided.
7. Some people are often easily distracted.
8. Some people are not focused on what they're doing. These two could be considered to be major contributors to the failure humans get. There are many beautiful and interesting things that surround us that is why there are many people that are distracted from what they're doing. Instead of being focus to a specific work, some people's mind are confused.
9. Some people are afraid to commit mistakes. There are many who do not even bother trying something because they are afraid that they might commit errors but think again, are those successful people never committed mistakes in life? Of course they did. We learn from our mistakes. Most of the things here in this world are made by trial and error, but once you get it right the price is more than right.
10. Some people love to fantasize instead of accepting the reality of this world.
11. Some people are just too lazy to do anything. Even in ancient writings and the bible testify that those who do not work shall never have a better life. How could you even have money if you don't work for it. There are those who even try to be a garbageman for the sake of earning money, but they even worth our salutations because at least they picked a noble profession other that just robbing a bank.
12. Some people are not humble enough to admit that they too have their faults. In anythings we do, we can never prevent accidents from happening but please do also admit sometimes that half of it is also your fault for being clumsy. Just like in any relationship may it be personal or professional, one should be humble enough to lower himself/herself down for the relationship to last long.
13. Some people are not often ready for 2nd options. There are some who are satisfied with mediocrity that they do not anymore consider having a backup ideas to cover their work.
14. They are very confident of themselves that they do not anymore consider asking for any help from others.
15. Some people do not accept criticisms.
16. They fail to maintain positivity. There are many people who always give up to easily when confronted with difficulties in life. People should always think twice that maybe this hardships that they face might be a blessing in disguise.
17. Some people fail to understand the true meaning of their lives.

For us to succeed we should always know first our real purpose of existence, else everything in us would be senseless. You could do this by self evaluation, reflection, or perhaps by taking a test.
