I agree with most of what Carole has said above. In addition I want to add that Birth Control pills do alter one’s biology. Essentially, pills trick your body into thinking that you’re pregnant so that no eggs are released. I’m not keen on schools pushing anything that messes with someone’s internal clock at such a young age. At the very least, until more research has been done on the subject.

Sex education starts at home and too many people rely on their children getting all the education they need at school. Well, unfortunately, that doesn’t happen, and it seems the only education some kids get is misinformation from their friends and peers.

I totally agree- SO much more work still needs to be done to prevent teenage pregnancies (et al) other than dispensing contraceptives in our schools.

Hopefully, being asked for an opinion on this matter has got us all taking a good hard look at how well our parenting skills are performing as well as sex education curriculums in schools.

Our children, even in Primary School, need to be carefully and adequately educated, both in and out of school, in sexual health (emphasis on health).

Children are like little sponges, especially when it comes to matters of sex; they soak up a wealth of material about ‘it’, from advertising media to hanging out with friends where the stories are seldom true.

As parents, relatives, friends and teachers, we have a duty of care to make sure that whatever myths, lies or truths are ‘wowed’, laughed at or feared, they can be talked about with someone who can put the record straight, so that our young people reach adolescence well equipped to face the hormonal storm.

If there is no one to talk to then surely the net can come to the rerscue? How about a little You tube video that explains all the ways in you can GET pregnant in the first place? http://youtube.com/watch?v=8ZKuuUPjk1Q
