My 14 year old daughter is doing Sex Ed at her Gloucestershire grammar school. She is a confident, intelligent girl and we have a good relationship. We discuss what she is taught openly (father hides in study!!) but she is shocked at how everything is promoted as if it is normal and acceptable for 14 year olds to be having sex. I am not shocked because it doesnt suprise me but I am sad and despairing. Why are we allowing schools to treat our young people like this? Why doesnt the curriculum allow the teacher to say - the best idea is to wait until your older to have sex and it is against the law under 16!!! My daughter will be fine but many of her peers are more easily influenced by these 'discussions' and need better guidance. I just dont know where to start.
