Know your body

Sex talks are still a taboo in India. I have never known any parents who can talk to their kids freely about sex. Parents haven't been more creative than the birds and bees stories in the name of sex education. Our education system does make an effort in educating the young India about sex, but the teachers shy away from going into details, after all our teachers are Indians too.

Lack of sex education leads to many complications and the case of an Indian taekwondo player has to be an eye opener. The woman, a 19 year old, happened to deliver a still born feutus in the lavatory of an Air Asia flight that she was travelling in. The crew found the still born baby wrapped in sheets of tissue and Immediately called the airport security to investigate. Soon it was ascertained that it was this 19 year old who abondoned the baby in the lavatory dustbin.

When asked, she denied that she knew anything that was going on in her body. She said, she had consumed pain killers and antacids to soothe the labor thinking it was regular digestion related stomach ache. Her family also dismissed knowing that she was pregnant.

Cops have booked her under section 318, which makes her guilty for hiding the birth and disposing off the fetus secretly. The investigation is still on.

Has the sex education been served, this girl like many others, could have avoided her pregnancy. It is important that we all listen to our body. If you feel anything is wrong, don't hesitate to book an appointment with your doctor. A thorough investigation is very much necessary. It is always better to be safe than sorry. This girl was lucky enough that she didn't get into any complications during the natural delivery process that she underwent in the lavatory, otherwise it may have even caused her death.
