The recent talk in the UK has been about implementing sex education for children as young as 4 & 5 years old in schools . The currant age is around 11/12 years when sex education is introduced , but it's more a biology lesson with the correct names of body parts being learnt ( not pe-pe & no-no or whatever other names is used for little ones ,lol ) as well as, reproduction and the female menstrual cycle taught . Now I don't know how the tons of parents feel about this ,their little babies being told about sex education however age appropriate, at this age , but I have heard discussions and it's a split opinion of parents at odds with it and totally supporting this !!
I have three children and of course I share an opinion as well . I firmly believe 4 and 5 years old is a bit young and 11 / 12 years is a little bit too old . With children developing and maturing alot earlier nowadays , I think the right age would be around nine years old . That is the age when children are curious about stuff and need all the information they can get before they start seeking it out from peers and the internet .
The discussions that children need to be informed about at four and five because of inappropriate touching , should they encounter it from someone they know in their family surroundings , and that being the main reason why sex education is wanted to be implemented so young at schools . But, let me tell you , as young as a child is ,they don't need to be told it's inappropriate touching . Children as young as they are know and feel , it if it's inappropriate , we are built in with a rader that lets young children , young adults to much older people know and have , its the sense to know when something is not right . Often children don't say because they are threatened or scared or fear the repercussions of what would happen to them .. Would they be believed , laughed at ,removed from their families , lives upset . The teaching of inappropriateness should be taught to children at high school . From the age of 13 / 14 years old there should be a whole lesson devoted to people about sexual activity and how wrong it is to touch anyone under the age of 16 inappropriately . It is a crime and should have strict consequences , which should be told to these school going children .How about discussing with them the importance of masturbation to relieve any frustrated feelings they have , and not focus their sexual feelings on anyone else till they are over the age of sixteen . Most important what should also be focused on is safe sexual activity and that is no sex without condoms . Young people should not be encouraged to have children early , and since we have become a culture of being dictated to how about teaching the youth , of the wrongs of binge drinking . Nowhere in Europe have I seen any young person drinking as much as I have seen here in England . It's actually scary to go out at the weekend and see young people so drunk and disorderly throwing up all over and actually not ashamed of themselves . We definitely need to focus on the drinking issues .It's okay to drink but drinking to be sick should be fined & banned .
We should introduce inspirational speakers coming to schools and talking about the advantages of being a leader and following the right path . How about trying to make things cool for children and teaching them like they did in the USA vowing celibacy till they are old enough to make the choice ,about doing it with the right person . The focus should be more on boys , because it is they , who generally have raging hormones and pressurize girls into sleeping with them . Girls enjoy more the friendship of boys ,some kissing and holding hands at that age . Women only have interest in sex in their 30's when they are comfortable with their bodies , generally have had their babies and are at a more grown-up time in their life .
