Is it normal in for a high school health class to not mention same sex relationships?

In our school, ';Health'; is the name for a class we all have to take in which we learn about body development, drugs, alcohol, sexual harassment and relationships. Our teacher always talks about your typical boy and girl relationships and safe sex, but i've never heard anything about other kinds of relationships. Even though our school has its own LGBT, would it be unreasonable to ask the teacher to include information vital to the health of all students, both gay and straight? Or should I just ask LGBT to host their own class? Is it normal in for a high school health class to not mention same sex relationships?
ask the teacher, they should have no problem talking about it, but the students on the other hand will respond immaturely to the teachings, based on my experence.Is it normal in for a high school health class to not mention same sex relationships?
Unfortunately the religious nuts complain that teaching simple factual information is the same as 'promoting' something, whether it be sex, birth control, or homosexuality. The only thing they want taught is abstinence, and if the school gets federal funding, that's all they are allowed to teach. It's one of the reasons we have such rampant teen pregnancy at a time when birth control is simple, easy, and cheap. It's also one of the reasons kids struggling with sexuality issues suffer in isolation, leading to depression and suicide, instead of getting information that could help them accept themselves and be happier and more productive. It's sad, and it's wrong to the point of being almost criminal, but until we have a President who lifts the so-called 'gag rule,' it's the way things are.
They don't mention it because they want to avoid controversy, so although it's annoying beyond reason, it is normal..








you can talk with your counselor and protest if you want, but I reccomend you find some other people with the same views as you to back you up.








They don't even teach sex-ed at my school! the PTA protested that teaching kids about safe-sex and birth control is somewhat like telling them to go out and have sex...and they used some kids latex allergy as an excuse to not let the Health teachers distribute condoms to their students...
Speak up and have it mentioned and added to the curriculum. I think its bullshit when it isn't It never was in my class and I think that's wrong because we're at just as much if not more risk in those areas and no one is willing to address it.


If the teacher isn't willing to teach it like they should than bring it up to administration because chances are it impacts alot more kids than they think.
My health class didn't teach me about opposite sex relationships, either, so uh, nobody got anything out of that. Interestingly enough, abstinence was not my health teacher's calling either. Anyways, just ask the teacher for information, and would hopefully provide some.
our high school class never talked about it but once in 7th grade a lady came from the hospital to give us the '; stds are bad wear a condom'; and the only thing i heard about homosexuals that came out of her mouth is how we spread the aids virus because we shouldnt have anal sex and how we cheat around so i got pretty pissed but that is all i have ever heard about them in any of my science or health classes
The teacher teaches the curriculum he or she is given and cannot, by law, deviate from that approved content. Your issue is with the people who provided the content. Speak to your school board.
It is normal. I think they should definitely teach it in the health class. You should bring it up with your school guidance counselor or principal.
In my health class our teacher told us a list of words we couldn't use, which included the usual obscenities and gay. We didnt even touch the subject.



I don't kniw because they recognize it at my middle school because a student brought it bring it up
my school didnt even mention it...and it wouldnt be unreasonable but the teacher might be thrown off by it
yes, but i think that it could severely reduce rates of STDs in gays if they would just teach people how to have safe sex
