All this sex education seems to be encouraging pregnancy in young girls rather than discouraging it. Thinking back to when we were younger you would see an odd teenage pregnancy but now it seems to be out of control.

I think a good itinerary of the costs involved in having a child would be of more benefit. Give them a projected earnings figure based on their IQ…christ, I’d never have dropped me boxers. that’s another thread tho.

In fact a good idea of how much everything costs, the process of purchasing your own home, knowing what exactly the can claim from the state, how to deal with a death in the family (if they have to organise such an event)…why don’t we teach our kids the stuff they need to know.

Heck think that is a different thread too, I’ll shurrup

I think you are wrong about it being the sex education that is the problem. I think it is the fact that parents aren't caring as much what their children are upto.

Sorry but kids are being taught about sex education far to young, they don't seem to have a childhood anymore. Will grant you that some parents don't care what their children are up to. But for goodness sake teenage pregnancy is out of control and it can't all be blamed on the parents.

I'm just wondering if it is a concern that anyone on the forum might have if their daughter or son could be getting some serious medical treatment at school without their knowledge.
i have a 15 year old daughter who is pregnant and i would have been devasted if the school had found out first, fortunately for me lisa and my younger daughter went to the doctors,and lisa came and told me i obviously stand by my daughter,would have been devasted if she had an abortion and i didnt know about it, it is a big concern

So you would encourage sex education in the classroom?
Sex education in the Army at age seventeen upwards concentrated on the danger of sexually transmitted diseases and the implications therefrom.
I would certainly encourage sex education from a very early age....I dont think it's wrong to tell, or instruct and educate young people of the pitfalls.
A young girl falling pregnant at thirteen or fourteen is a disaster to the young lady herself and to all connected.

Superb that you are giving your daughter the support she needs, these things happen. Having ones child abort a child, when she is in fact a child herself is a serious matter. Parents have their role to play.

But instructing them from an early age does not appear to be helping, I am all for education if it works but sex education is having the opposite effect

Re: Sexual Health Clinics in school
 
I know a lot of teenagers who lost their virginities young and many who have had children early.

Obviously it isn't the case in all situations, but parents are much more lenient about letting their daughters go near boys. I am one myself, I think I would now how the modern teenage girl thinks.

I also don't think it is necessarily a bad thing if young girls get pregnant. My mum had me at 16 and I think she did an excellent job, and all the young girls I know with babies from school are brilliant mums. I see nothing wrong with it, but I don't think its sex education that is the cause of a rise in teenage pregnancies.

Good on you for being behind your daughter, my daughter was a young mother(nineteen the same age as I was when she was born). Unfortunately not all parents are as supportive so if a clinic like this will help it serves its purpose. What I find really sad is the bit in the report about the young girl getting pregnant three times and using the clinic, how can any parent live with the fact that on three occassions their daughter could not come to them with their problems???

Young mothers can be good mothers, so why must we see it as a problem all the time? There have been some amazing programmes on the BBC about them and how they are just as good as any other mother.

In some cultures they expect you to get pregnant young!
