I think that the motive was good but the execution of sex education may not be all that good. Personally, I think the nuts and bolts of sex education should be left in the hands of parents. Everyone knows their own children best, and though most parents embark upon this task with trepidation, I think the very fact that you KNOW your child allows you to couch the information in terms that you know they will accept......and I think it also allows the parent the opportunity to teach some moral boundaries too.
In the end we cannot live our childrens lives, and most of us want better lives for our children than we had ourselves....we can tell our children the mistakes we made....but that will not stop them making mistakes of their own.
Children need to know that they are loved...if that feeling is missing at home then they may embark upon sexual activity as a poor substitute.
