Here is another amazing video. This time it's a bunch of parents awkwardly explaining birth control to their kids!
Alright so besides the fact that this video is pretty hilarious, and I'll get to that later, I think it's incredible that these parents decided it was important to have a conversation with their kids about birth control. With so many people out there, pretty much everyone who promotes abstinence education, there are millions of lies told about sex and so I feel it's important to have parents filter all of that out for their kids to receive the correct info. If we do this, and if we make sure the parents themselves know what's up, it could significantly improve everyone's knowledge on how to prevent pregnancy so that unwanted children or abortions won't occur as often as they do now. That being said, two of those kids were definitely far too old for this conversation. This is something that should occur earlier to prevent misinformation from affecting their minds right away.
On to my second point about why this is so funny. You see, its pretty easy to see that this is funny purely because it is cringe-worthy/awkward. It's even uncomfortable for the kids themselves. This shows how deeply rooted our ideas of sex are. We are told that sex just isn't something you should talk about with your parents because it's shameful and private. But in actuality, sex is something that is completely natural and should be discussed more openly for that reason alone. The fact that this had to be taped for these parents to talk this subject with their kids just for a couple of laughs and maybe get viral hit shows how we think about sex.
Stay Awesome.
