Why isn't "Relationships 101" not taught in High School?

Especially For Juniors and Seniors

There should be a class talking about Marriage, divorce, child support, alimony, the importance of truly loving another person, how to mutually build wealth together, conflict resolution, child rearing, etc

There are alot of people in shytty relationships because they were never taught properly. All a man wanted was some wet p*ssy and all a woman wanted was a provider

This is basically it but by this time it's too late

Assumption is that people are learning those things in the household and by observing the mistakes of people in their communities.

No grown man in 2022 can say that he didn't grow up hearing child support horror stories in the barbershop.
That's like saying parents should teach kids what sex is at the right age but they still have "sex education" in school

Some kids could benefit from hearing it in a school setting especially if it's an optional class with just the kids who want to learn about it

Bc there's no one way to make a relationship work. It's a complicated situation between 2 or more people that can't be taught. Trial and error is the best teacher
I gotta say this again. It should be an optional thing on the side. Maybe after school type program for the kids who want to learn.

In my mind, I picture a small class of 15 kids wanting to honestly see how to be a good wife or husband and know what to look for in a good mate and bypass a fat ass or big muscles.

Exactly. For some people a proposed date to Applebee's isn't enough to get a relationship even started while for others, it would be perfectly fine.

Good point op. School teaches us to be cogs in the capitalist wheel. Its doesn't teach of life skills and how to be a functional adult. Relationship, Social Skills, Personal Finance, Emotional Intelligence, and Conflict Resolution need to be apart of the school curriculum. We're truly living in the dark ages because these seem so obvious.

Another thing is Disney warps the teenage mind

Corey Matthews and Steve Urkel were the biggest simps on earth.

Both shows had them simping for most of the longevity of the show and once they got the girl...BOTH SHOWS GOT CANCELLED

That's because there's no fun once the chase is done. No one would tune into to see their financial woes and their sexless dead bedroom life

But, if someone teaches you in a class that all that is TV bullshyt then you would just watch it for entertainment purposes.

You underestimate how many kids are just taught things by watching tv and taught by social media nowadays

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
After work today, I got a platinum plus level response to this thread impending.



From a guy who went through it all and still climbing an uphill battle at this stage in his life... I'll pitch in my pair of lincolns for sure.



Very important thread topic this is, and we need to spread it. Word to Country Crock.
