Don't hold your breath

Jett 15

School talks about safe sex.
Sex with a male and a female.
I raise a hand.
'What about other sex?'

'We don't talk about specifics here ma'am.'

I raise my voice.
'But what about female sex?'

'That's what we're talking about. Now if you could please listen so we could get back to the lesson.'

I stand.
'But what if a girl likes a girl or a boy likes a boy? Why don't you discuss that?'

She whips her face around.
Everyone is looking at me now.

Whispers

'How will they know how to be safe if no one even talks about it?'

'Ma'am, we are not at liberation to speak about that at school!'

'And we're allowed to speak about strait sex?! Do you even think about the unprivileged teens who get STD's because no one even bothered to speak about it?!'

'JETT PLEASE SIT DOWN!'

I was being held back now.
'How are we supposed to keep ourselves safe when I CAN'T EVEN GET HELP FROM MY OWN TEACHER WHO IS SUPPOSED TO TEACH US EVERYTHING WE WILL NEED IN THE FUTURE?!'

Long story short.

First detention of the year.
