Let’s Talk Sex

Britain is in the grip of a teen sex crisis with the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Western Europe. Syphilis infection is up by 1500 per cent and one in ten young women has chlamydia, but despite these appalling statistics, sex and relationship education in Britain’s schools is not compulsory.

The Let’s Talk Sex website supports the Channel 4 television series presented by Davina McCall.

But don't you think the girls and their parents suffer. And may be there are some muslim girls as well who are suffering.

I don't blame the girls but the type of sex education they're recieving in schools and this is what this article is all about, it's not about girls being bad or hormonal etc.

Re: Teen abortion rate shocks UK

Peace All

Sex has two meanings:

1) Gender
2) Copulation

Unfortunately the sex education taught in the UK is mainly of the type 2) but sex education should strictly be kept of the type 1) ... my opinion.

I consider it a break down of society when people will not absolutely prohibit sexual relations with others until marriage. The bringing in of a sex age limit has caused problems with early developers and because materialism has created an anti-marriage sickness people are not going to get married either.

The legal age of consent for sex is 16 in the UK, however, they are now thinking of making contraceptives more available to under agers ... What a no brainer!

Which newspaper published this article?

Re: Teen abortion rate shocks UK

well i dnt think sex education in schools tells u to go and shag every single donky on the street.....they only tell u wht sex is about....thy dnt exactly tell u to go and do it.....
and tough if muslim girls r dng it...unke maa baap unki lagam khench ke rakhen...

Peace citrine

With due respect ... Who are you kidding? I have done sex education in the UK and I was shown films about masturbation and courting rituals of men with women.

I was taught that kissing does such and such and then that does such and such and it was an altogether very luring experience. The method taught about sex and the vein it is taught in makes it appear a very desirable thing to do and achieve. They teach that adults do it. Every child wants to be an adult or some want to be seen as mature and progressed like adults and start to behave like adults in every way they can. They teach that certain things stimulate certain parts and that it feels 'nice' ... people should not teach in that way. It will make it appear less of a taboo and more likely to experiment. Then there is a huge emphasis on contraception teaching us how not to bear the consequences of sex. That if we wish to do so how to do get it on basically without anyone finding out. They have even made acquiring contraception very close to anonymous.

They teach about abortions so we can be told that even if contraception fails us we can still get the baby removed so it does not matter.

I have a question that if it is the mothers right to do what she wants with the pregnancy then if she chooses to have the baby why does the biological father have to contribute? It is a joint decision to have sex both persons should be aware of consequences. These consequences will not be manifest with greater measure to prevent pregnancy but greater measures to prevent illicit sex. The first thing is not to teach about the act of copulation in the class room. Keep the topic sacrosanct.

well i hve been to uk schools ....nd recievd sex education too..bt seriously i was never shwn any movie/film abt masturbation or hw ppl do sex really....ur exaggerating....
and yes its a gud thng to teach abt abortions and contraception...am sure u gona use that education at sum point in ur life..or do u wanna end up with 20 babies??

:k:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! =O I was never taught about masturbationand courting rituals =S

All we were shown was a girl and her body parts, taught about hormones, and then in our books you were shown the sex organs and it was labelled. And that's it, oh and then you were taught about how to put a condom on at the age of 14

Sheesh .. one is never too old to learn new things :D

You are quoting from a republican conservative right winger nutjob source called michnews.com, and you might want to read their views and stories on Muslims/Islam before taking anything seriously from them. Read some reviews about michnews:

MichNews.com: Most In-depth, Conser… - StumbleUpon

This is the sort of BS that they put up to prove how Obama is a Muslim:

Whats sad is that on a site like GS, an article from a propoganda site michnews is now a sticky.

I agree. Why is this a sticky anyway? This does not pertain to Pakistan or even the Pakistani Community in Britain.

This abortion story is completely inappropriate and may not even be true.

Abortion statistics, England and Wales: 2006 : Department of Health - Publications

This will give you all the statistics of abortions, age and ethinicity etc
Download Statistical bulletin - Abortion Statistics, England and Wales: 2006 (PDF, 900K)

According to this official page there were 135 (age under 14) abortions and 907 (age 14) abortions in 2006.

Hope you won’t feel sad now.

The stats include the Pakistani community and this is All Views.
