A new report says that young people are inadequate sex education. So what can be done to improve it?
certainly had a sense, says 19-year-old Andre Anderson, the teachers of sex education in high school "sees us as" kids "and thought" should not do, then you n 'did not need to know. "They tell you how a baby is, but there was a lot of teenage pregnancies in all he knew. The media tells you a lot about sex, but that education which tries to hide. "
With experiences like this, it is not surprising that a new study by Brook, service tips on sexuality to young people, which is about half the students to find their Sex education (SRE) absence, while only 6% of youth said it obtained the information on the relationships they need lessons in SRE.
Surprisingly, the study of more than 2,000 14 - to 18 found that myths still widespread concern: 59% had heard that a woman can get pregnant if the man does not ejaculate in it, 33% have heard that it can not get pregnant the first time you have sex and a quarter of young people have heard, you can get HIV if you are gay. Meanwhile, one in four students do not receive the SRE at school, and one quarter of those who say they do not think well taught.
Simon Blake, national director of Brook, is not surprised. "We were informed by young people who access our services, it is too little, too late, too biological," he said. "And what I really want are the emotions, life dilemmas real and more on relationships. "
especially the British is a condition of being inept when it comes to sex? "He certainly has a young British approach and the subject of this misfortune, is still politicized, rather than just be another area of ??learning."
Just look at the controversy raised by groups like the Christian Institute, including the recent report of Too Much, Too Young complains that children demonstrate "explicit" images of gender in the primary school or a recent bill Nadine Dorries Conservative MP for teaching abstinence in schools - but only for girls - to see what can become a battleground for the SER. And meanwhile, say organizations such as Brook, sex education is patchy and young people trust their friends for information (while alarming, according to the study, 5% - the same level as the Most learning to ask their parents - in terms of pornography on the Internet).
To counter this, Brook has launched a campaign to encourage adolescents to express their views on the teaching of SRE, and submit the results to the Ministry of Education, which conducts a review of PSHE , to be published later this year.
Sophie Wilson, 17, remembers a number of lessons in the elementary school SRE, then a couple in their early years in high school. "These were mainly different sexually transmitted diseases and condoms, but not much about what to do if you have an STD. There was nothing different relationships, and sex." It took wait until I was 17 a lesson on how to get tested for STIs. It would be helpful, he said, if lessons could cover broader issues such as rape or an abusive relationship as well. " / Aa>
SRE Wilson said this is not the preparation for adult life. Most of the information on sex has come to "my friends, the general things that occurred to them. The sex education program [Channel 4] was good because it was very simple. I guess it's something that I heard everything. "The danger is recognized, is that I do not know how reliable it is." The other danger is that people might think that you should get [sex] with more and see what is happening and learn from the experience. "
