Good 1st SL class for a 9th grader to attempt in a month?

[bluebooger]

Some people here have suggested Cultural Anthropology or Intro to World Religions.

I have a word of caution for these two courses for a 9th grader. Mom might want to preview the textbooks first to make sure there are no objections to the content for the teen’s maturity. These are college level courses with content that that some teens may or may not be ready for. I recommend looking at chapters 7 & 8 (very closely!) in the Cultural Anthropology textbook. Parents should also be aware that the religion course has an agnostic worldview if that is of any concern for the family.

a 9th grader is 14 years old 

by the time I was 14 I had seen more than my share of Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler magazines 

by the time I was 11 years old I had seen plenty of National Geographic magazines with topless woman 

when I was 14 I would go to the public library and read history books about how the aztecs use to conduct human sacrifice 

we learned that in school before the 8th grade 

we learned about slavery in the US and how some owners forced slave women to have sex with them 

we even learned about homosexuality in ancient greece 

LOL, I first learned about rape and homosexuality in church from the story of Lot in Genesis 19 long before I learned about any of that other stuff in middle school or high school 

yes, there are plenty of gross practices in the world about boys being initiated into manhood  

but SL isn't going to be showing porn movies 
they're going to be reading college level textbooks 

I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but if a 14 year old isn't ready for a some booby pics and a couple of gross "coming of age" rituals then the parents and school have done a disservice to the 14 year old
