EP02 我的“早恋”：老师轻翻课本，性教育的大门被重重关上 ｜My “Early Love”: Flipping through the Textbook, the Door to Sex Ed Shuts Tight

在这期节目中，我将和Jean继续讨论在她高中的“早恋”当中，学校和老师扮演了什么样的角色。在上海的一所私立高中上学，Jean没有经历过老师对于恋爱的过度、甚至是暴力干预。尽管如此，关于性和恋爱，老师还是三缄其口。跟性教育相关的内容，即使已经出现在课本上，相关的那几页，还是会被老师轻轻翻过。 所以Jean形容我们中国孩子对于性和爱情的认知，是“无师自通”，或者我认为，生活成了最好的老师。由于信息源的杂乱，性启蒙、性教育可能来自于偶像剧，可能来自于医院厕所的小广告，也可能来源于父母老师的吞吞吐吐。性教育的缺乏、对于良好亲密关系的缺乏认知、缺乏想像，我们似乎只能从实际的生活中慢慢探索，即使会摔很多没有必要的跤，悲哀的是，似乎也避无可避。 In this episode, I will continue the conversation with Jean on how her high school in Shanghai, a place presumably more progressive, still saw teachers playing a mute role in her journey through teenage romance. Even faced with no overt or aggressive meddling by teachers, there was still a deafening silence on sex and love. Content on sex education, even when sitting right there in the curriculum, was swiftly skipped over in class. Jean notes that young people in China often come to understand sex and love through a sort of “informal education” - learning by life itself, arguably the harshest teacher. With such a muddled array of information sources - from romantic TV series to the stammered talks by parents and teachers - we are left to navigate these waters largely alone, stumbling along the way. And the tragic part, it seems, is that such falls are as much a part of growing up as they are seemingly inevitable. ***Full Transcript: Medium @TinGwongHeoi***
