I can remember being at primary school and being told some fairly scary stuff about sex.......aha, I hear you say, well if you had been educated about sex and human reproduction then it wouldn't have scared you so much I hear you say.......not so. I wasn't ready to have all that stuff crammed into my head. I wanted to play out with skipping ropes and whips and tops......the adult stuff could wait. OK, I know that girls are maturing faster......but I am sure that this maturation is purely physical and not psychological. It is adults who are responsible for sexualisation of young girls......I don't think there is the same problem with boys. You only have to look at the clothes that are out there to dress young girls in.

And as for girls getting pregnant to get a council house.... then we should lay the blame for that at our own feet for allowing the benefits system to reward them in such a way.

I don't have any five year olds.......and I am happy to say that I am glad I don't.....because I wouldn't want sex education to be taught at school at such a young age.
