Health, 12/01, Period 2

Elliot looked slightly frazzled as she stood before the class. "Hi! Somehow, it has been over a month since we started the sex ed unit, between one thing and another." And her fear that if she tried teaching it again, she'd heave a nervous breakdown. "We're wrapping it up today, and then next week we move into our final unit for the semester, which is a quickie first aid course."


"I'm going to start by making you kind of never even want to think about your no-no places. Sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, are, um, diseases that are transmitted sexually.By age 21, about 1 in 5 Americans has contracted an STD that needs treatment." She continued with a brief but informative lecture on common STDs and how they were spread. "And I found a goofy little filmstrip from the 70s about how STDs are everyone's problem, so ... yeah. Don't be embarrassed." Easy for her to say.

She cued the movie, and then another one. "That second film was how they used to teach sex ed in the 50's and '60s. Well, not the part at the beginning, but..."

"Anyhow, you should all have presentations on a contraceptive of your choice. I want you to pair up and explain whatever method you picked to your partner. Discuss the pros and cons of each."

Normally, this would be the sort of class that would have Setsuna burying her red face in her hands, watching the videos through spaces in fingers. But the news she recieved before class just had Setsuna looking impatient as she sat through it all. It would be impossible for her to pay attention; one might mistake all her shifting and glancing over at the clock as squeemishness, though.
