Sex education not enough
Nov 22nd, 2006 by Lilian
Once again, parents in the UK have been urged to take a more active role in their children’s sex education because a study found that :
A Medical Research Council study, in the British Medical Journal, examined sex education in 25 secondary schools.
It found pregnancy and abortion rates among girls taught with an enhanced sex education scheme were the same as among girls given conventional sex education.
Well, this is not surprising because the influence of MTV and all the media plus the amount of p0rn on the internet is enough to bury any kids into a state of confusion. The pressures of being in the hip group is tremendous. So, I suppose we parents have double the work of openly talk about sex education and build that parents/child trusts. It is a tough job.
Some believe education will help and recommend children as young as 10 should be taught about contraception.
But others say it fuels the problem, encouraging children to be promiscuous.
Investigators from the Medical Research Council evaluated the impact of an enhanced sex education programme, known as SHARE.
