I watched Let's Talk Sex and it radically changed my view on sex education. I'm 19 and had no sex education at school except for the reproduction biology lesson after I was pressured into sex at the age of 13. I would never have thought that teaching children at the age of 5 was neccesary but I strongly agree after watching this series. I feel that it would be irresponsible for any parent to ignore this seeing as we obviously have a massive problem as a nation. The minister of Children and Families should be ashamed of herself for that interview. I am thoroughly appalled that she seemed so blase about this major issue.

Rach, 14
I totally agree that sex and relationship education should be compulsary at secondary and primary schools. I think this could help teenagers understand everything they need to know before they go out and have sex without knowing everything they need to know. This will prevent teenage pregnancy and everything. I'm only 14 years old and i have about 5 lessons a year on sex education and this isn't enough in my opinion! It should be compulsory definitely in secondary schools and most probably in junior schools!

Steven
How refreshingly open and honest. Well done Davina and the makers of Let's Talk Sex!! I have two girls aged 9 and 11 and it is difficult to know how to approach the subject. I am sure they do not get any information from school, especially with it being a catholic one!! your show has certainly given me food for thought. My parents never gave me any such information, I want to make sure that my girls have the knowledge that I didn't at their age. Well done!!! When is the book released???

Aimee, 20
I'm totally distraught that i only saw 2 out of the 3 programmes!! Since watching i have been bouncing around talking to anyone that stands still long enough about what i have learnt and how i think the system should be. I begin my degree in Primary Education in september and i'm almost positive that this will come up several times during my course. I think i will make good sex education one of my criteria when i am looking for a school to teach in. You cannot underestimate how important it is to educate children about these things.
I lost my virginity at 15 and, although not a thouroughly unpleasant experience, i do wish i had waited. I believe it is only now that i am having fulfilling sex, both emotionally and physically, because i am with a partner that i trust and i know he respects me. I had very little sex education as i went to a catholic girls school. I was lucky my parents were open with me and confident enough to talk about sex, but deep down i know that it wasn't enough. My school should have addressed the issue properly, regardless of their religious standing. I feel short changed by the education system and i intend to do everything i can to make sure that my own children and those i teach won't suffer in the same way.

Helena, 30
What a great programme, I personally think the earlier you talk to them the better, when I became pregnant with my second child my daughter who is ten, she asked me mom did you have sex? so you can get pregnant? this is when I realized that is time for me to start talking about sex to my ten year old girl. Therefore, Davina you are doing a great job, you have my support all the way girl...

Trudie
I was pregnant at 15; I am now 40 and have a 24year old son. I had no education where sex and relationships are concerned. I was unable to go to my parents, only because it was too embarrassing to talk to them about. I strongly believe our children should grow up learning about this subject from an early age to stop it being a taboo subject. This would enable our children to be able to talk to their parents. Well done Davina and channel 4

Andrea
i was a teenage parent but have worked vary hard since having my daughter. i have completed three higher education national diplomas and done very well for myself, i have a beautiful, clever daughter. I was very moved by your programme and feel very strongly that i don't want my daughter to have a child young. we need petitions to sign for our children to have compulsory sex education and relatioship lessons IMMEDIATLEY

Ann, age 48
Well done Davina! Pity your programme was not on at a prime time for maximum viewing. GB needs a wake up call regarding sexual health for teenagers. My eldest son (who is now 23) started asking questions about babies and body parts when he was about four; which I answered every time without embarrassment. More detailed questions came about when he was 5-6. This is a great age to talk about sex with children as they are not embarrassed at all, and they ask so naturally, as if it was about the moon and sun and planets. I went to the Early Learning Centre to buy a book called the "The Body Book" when he was six. On going to purchase the book, the lady serving me asked how old my child was. When I said he was six, she did not want to sell me the book as it was aimed at 7-9 year olds. We had a bit of a long discussion as to a parent knowing when their child was ready to discuss life events and eventually she let me buy it. Don't give up Davina, keep championing children's rights to have good, compulsory, consistent SRE - we have got to get this awful chlamydia, syphillis and teenage pregnancy rate down. I was not impressed with that Children's Minister on your programme today.

Shirley, 42
What a fantastic program, bravo! Thank goodness for Davina McCall. Her common sense approach to the entire subject was a breath of fresh air. At 42 I had hoped that sex education in schools had improved since my day, but sadly it seems not – still too much biology and not enough on relationships. The ostriches are still holding us back. It makes one ask oneself, is the reason that the government is so opposed to introducing compulsory sex and relationship education because they are terrified that it will lose them votes? As Davina rightly says sex and relationship education needs to be introduced earlier, be consistent and be compulsory, if we want to ensure that our young people are receiving the correct information. Too much is left to chance and all too often it is the children’s peers who educate them on the subject – often wrongly!

I've just watched both of Davina's brilliant programmes, and feel so moved that I'm ready to start my own campaign, let alone support Davina's! My own sex education at school was so poor as to be laughable (leaving aside the usual embarrassed giggles) with several pupils in my year having to leave school to have babies before being able to sit their O levels. I distinctly remember my very red-faced biology teacher being asked what an orgasm felt like and her replying that it was a bit like sneezing!
I latched on to one point that Davina was trying to make to the minister that although the British are generally seen as being very reserved and even prudish when it comes to discussing sexual matters, maybe that is because we ourselves were never openly educated as children - and so surely now is the time to start? The minister seemed to be scared of upsetting parents - she constantly talked of getting parents on-side - but doesn't she understand? Us parents were never taught either?!! If we had been able to discuss sex and relationships openly from primary school age I'm sure we'd all deal with it differently now also! Maybe if WE had been taught in the dutch way, we would have had the knowledge to stop us getting pregnant and catching or spreading STDs! It's too late for us as far as school goes, but not for our children. I was also interested at how many people stopped on the street said they already thought that sex and relationship education was already part of the national curriculum - and how few said they didn't want it to be. I'm also sure that if those few percent who say they wouldn't want it to be part of the national curriculum were themselves given a little more education showing what the children would be learning and the impact it could have on them if they WEREN'T taught the subject (if nothing else to watch Davina's programmes!), they would soon agree that this subject is a vital a part of our children's curriculum.
The main arguments against this type of education seem to be that in educating our children we are encouraging them to actually 'do it' younger, and that we are robbing them of their childhood. Firstly, in NOT educating our children we are not opening up the channels of normal discussion that go hand in hand with learning, and if a subject is taboo, as a child begins to grow up the subject becomes more mysterious and interesting - and with not many places to turn to for information (other than toilet doors or teen mags) what will they do? Go and try it for themselves! Secondly, since when has learning about our bodies, love and relationships suddenly made children become adults? I myself have had several discussions with my nine year old daughter on the subject, and she hasn't suddenly stopped skipping around the playground or started wearing shorter skirts, but she has come back to me with more questions - is that a bad thing? As you can see, I am wholeheartedly behind Davina on this - if she can start a campaign on the lines of Jamie Oliver's I believe she will have the backing of millions of parents.

Phillip
Yet again we have a programme (Wednesday) presented by someone with their own agenda. In this case Davina McCall searches out information to back up her view that sex education should be compulsory. If this were an objective look at sex education then she would have looked at the whole area of marriage, abstinence and sexual purity before marriage and taken a look back in history to see that things even 50 years ago were very different than today. Why? Because the majority of people married and kept their sexual relationship within marriage. Of course there's always been babies born outside marriage, adultery and promiscuity, but certainly not in the proportion we see it today. Come on Channel 4 - you can do better!

Renee, Student, University of Lincoln
I would like to congratulate Davina McCall on forcing the issue that so many bury their heads in the sand about – particularly parents and the government. it was an issue that desperately needed raising and most certainly needed answers. Now all we need to see is the action. If compulsory sex education lessons worked in Holland, there's no reason it won't work in England too.

Maggie, 36
I just wanted to say well done on such a fantastic show. I went to a catholic school and our sex education consisted of two nuns talking about not having sex. At no time did they discuss what sex was, pregnancy or relationships. At 16 I was none the wiser and found sex a scary thing to think about never mind talk about. I want something different for my girls age 6 and 11. I now know that if I had had good sex education I would have made better choices for myself and now have no regrets. Talking about your programme in the school playground today we all agreed that the Dutch way is the way forward and I would put my name to any movement to move us forward as a nation. I think the Minister for young people should be ashamed of herself, if all she cares about is the adults of this country then she is in the wrong job she needs to have the courage to move things forward now, not in the next century, I can not believe two 15 year olds could have shown more common sense than her. How embarrassing!!!!!!

Kay, 18
I was extremely impressed by the show and even learnt a few new things about sex myself. I'm 18 years old and was off ill from college when the programme came on and it made me really think about the mess sex education in schools is in. I have only had one sex education lesson in all my school years and feel that it did not give me and my fellow students enough information about sex and relationships. I didn't have sex until i was ready because that's the way i am, but an extreme amount of young teenagers don't. Although I had never seen a condom out of its wrapper until the first time i had sex. I don't believe sex is a taboo subject so talk often about it and my experiences with my friends and i was shocked to find out that a friend of mine who is also 18 didn't know where her clitoris was and what happens with it. She is far from prudish but it just shows that education in British schools about sex and relationships is greatly lacking the effort it needs. The Dutch have the answer and i think schools and the government should be a lot more forward in their approach and parents who do worry about children learning too young will soon see the benefits and come around quickly.

Kayleigh, 17 East London
I'm a 17 year old girl from newham, which has one of the most appalling teenage birth rates in Britain. I'm glad my parents where open with me about sex and relationships. The Let's Talk Sex programme was excellent. There were times where i cringed, but when i thought about it, why should we be cringing it's nature. I think there should be a nationwide petition and should be shown to Tony Blair, it's easy to hide from the truth but it always creeps in when least expected. That minister (can remember her name) was so ignorant, i suppose she won't learn until she comes to a school in Newham, or any other borough like this. I think it's time to act upon these issues and make sex ed and relationship lessons COMPULSORY.

Ricky
i think Holland has it completely right it's british parents that are prudish and the goverment need to listen to the children and sort out their acts they're paid enough.

Lynn
Well done Davina and Ch4 for making such a brilliant informative programme. Sex Education for me at school back in 1987 4th year senior, was a one hour lesson AND THAT WAS IT! I learnt about sex through being abused and not having the confidence to say no to my abuser and then through my teens making all sorts of mistakes and fortunately I was a lucky never to have got pregnant. Why are the British so afraid of something so completely natural, for crying out loud everybody does it, so let's just let them do it right. British government need to be taking a leaf from Holland's book or may I suggest a full encyclopaedia!! Relationships need to be taught from as young as 4-5 years old, children want to learn so why hide the facts, and let's stop using silly pretend words about the genitals, you will only stop embarrassment by confronting it. A Vagina is a Vagina and not a flower etc.
This programme was well over due and I hope things will change (and I don't even have children but I am concerned about children's welfare) let's hope in 20 years if not sooner we can be where Holland is when it comes to confidence, informed choices, knowledge, safe sex and a reduction of teen pregnancies. Alcohol should also be taught along side the sex education as well, as it seemed from the programme most teens in the programme were saying they are having sex when they are drunk (under age drinking) therefore they are not making a coherent decision that could affect the rest of their lives. I will sign any petition to get this education in the schools. Davina you did a fantastic job in the presentation of this programme, well done again to you.

Sabrina, 25
Thankyou for this programme, "Let's talk sex" I stumbled on it by accident and watched all three shows. I have to say it's the best show i've seen in a long time! The Dutch have the right attidtude to sex, educating youngters continuosly as they grow up. Let's face it wer'e taught "English" and "Maths" the same way, why not Sex? I'm 25 now and i wish i had this info when i was at school! I had my first sex education class at 13 which i think was already a bit too late considering most of my class already had sex or started their periods two or three years previously! I started my period at 12 and i remeber how i felt, i knew what it was but that didn't stop me from feeling scared and alone. My mum showed me what sanitation i should use (not what i could use} which was in my case "Sanitary Towels" because she said "Tampons" will hurt me! she never talked about Sex even though i would be asking lots of questions, it was a "No Go Area", so like most teens i got my info from magazines, friends and tv shows, though some of it wasn't true. I wasn't allowed boyfriends and as a result of this i didn't lose my virginity until quite late, in fact about two years ago! and even at 23 i was scared. I bled for days, and most of all my emotions were unstable. I felt upset, dirty and disgusted with myself. I haven't had Sex since this 1st bad experiece and i'm not sure if i will again, hopefully! but even though i feel this way, having had sex now has awoken feelings i rarely had before and i have to say, i always have a big supply of batteries! Sex was and still is a bit of a taboo subject even though i'm an adult now and i know a lot more. i think things were this way because my mum's parents didn't talk to her about it when she was younger, so it was the norm for her to bring my brother and i up the same way, at least i knew what having a period meant, my mum didn't, she thought she'd hurt herself! I was shocked she didn't know much because she's very knowledgable about most things. It just goes to show we needed sex education for my mum's generation and more so now.

Susie, 23, youthworker
Although I agree that sex and relationships education in the UK needs urgent attention, I am concerned about promotion of the 'you'll be safe as long as you use a condom' message. This message assumes that all young people will start having sex in their teens, and reinforces the idea that 'everyone is doing it'. From my personal experience, no one is telling teens that actually, it's OK not to have sex. If you favour detailed and comprehensive sex and relationships education, then you must also recognise that the abstinence message should be taught. After all, abstinence is the only way to protect yourself from STIs and teen pregnancy - because no contraception method is foolproof. It worried me that young people are taught that using a condom protects them from STIs - condoms cannot offer complete protection from any STI, and offers NO protection for those that are contracted by skin-to-skin contact. Even the young people I work with who are clued up about STIs and contraception are alarmed when they hear this. I'm not suggesting that our schools shouldn't be doing more, but that the situation is far more complex than teaching teens how to put on a condom.

Well Done channel 4. It is about time someone got behind this. Yes Holland have got it right and so I ask why aren't we following their example. We should not be emabarrassed about sex education, quite the opposite without sex none of us would be here. I remember having very little sex eduaction at school and when we did it was too late and we were patronised and treated like we were too young to understand anyway. This "sex education" took place when we were 15 and many were already sexually active, but without full knowledge and understanding of the consequences. I think you did very well on choosing Davina, she is a straight talking well repected and admired woman and it makes it even more inspiring that this crusade is led by a mother. ENGLAND - STOP BEING SO PRUDISH AND LET'S TALK SEX!

Aletia, 28
I just want to say watching Channel 4's Let's Talk Sex with Davina is just a harsh reality of what teenagers face in today's world ... while i cannot believe what they show in different places of the world, i think we need to follow suit and do the same thing ... Stop Children from having Children or at least get them ready for it when it does happen ... I have a Boy of 9 and a Girl of 5 and i would want them to have every lesson available to prevent them from making a mistake and regretting it later on! Well Done Davina for putting the big question accross. I absolutely agree we should make Sex Education compulsory in EVERY school.

Amanda
What an excellent programme I only hope the goverment sit up and take note of it, from reading the comments on the website and my own personal feeling is that the majority of parents out there are of the same opinion we want the same sex education system that the dutch have. Let's teach children about sex as a compulsory subject in school from an early age. I couldn't beleive the minister for children's take on the matter, until we manage to overturn the learning system and open our minds and mouths about sex our babies will keep having babies. Well done Davina for a fantastic series i only hope it wasn't for nothing.

Ruth, 25, Aberdeenshire
I have been glued to the telly the past three mornings watching 'let's talk sex', it has been a fantastic programme. Children need to be taught about sex and relationships young as it aids their development. I don't understand how some parents are still against their children learning about sex as it is human nature and if they were taught younger then they would be better informed to make their own decisions. I'm a 25 yr old single mum and my daughter is almost 4 but I have already explained the basics of periods and about boyfriends and girlfriends and how you can be a girl with a girlfriend or a boy with a boy as well as a boy/girl relationship and that it is OK to do so. I don't feel my daughter is too young to know these basics as she was inquisitive enough to ask and I'm not going to lie to her. I don't think being prudish about sex ed is helping our society, the statistics prove it doesn't. So why can't we at least try the methods used in Dutch schools? I don't think it could possibly make matters worse. I also think it would be worthwhile to repeat the programme at peak time to really try and get the message across.

Beckie, 18
I think the lack of sex education in schools is appalling and the answer is right there like davina says make it compulsory!!! Why won't the government listen? I am in sixth form at a Catholic school and i have no recollection of having any sex education apart from biology which does not mention contraception or STIs! I know at least seven people in my year that are pregnant or have had a baby so this obviously shows there is a problem! We need to take action now !!

Amy, 19, Aberdeen
After watching the 3 progams, it got me really thinking. I do think what they teach in schools about sex and relationships can be really improved. My son is 5months old, and I think it should be changed by the time he goes to school. If all children were told the truth and at the same age, parents wouldn't have to worry what to tell their children and when. I would be completely open and honest to my children, it is after all a part of life. I can't remember anything I got told at school, and that's not right! They should have this information drilled into their heads from a young age. I don't see why parents think this is wrong at all, their children will just find out themselves sooner or later and have an accident. I was never shown how to put a condom onto a guy and I was sexually active at 14, which could have led to yet another underage pregnancy. Is there some kind of petition that people can sign to try and change the ways!? Fantastic program by the way!!

Gill
I am a youth accreditation worker that delivers sex and relationship education for the local authority. I totally agree with the programme and SRE should be compulsory in schools. Some of the young people I work with have had no SRE in school and are sexualy active, and do not know where to go for contraception or how to use it. Keep up the good work

Jo, 22, Chester
I attended a catholic high school and the only classes I remember approaching the subject was in biology, where it was very clinical, and in RE where we were told to wait until we were married. However this advice came a little late for the majority of my peers. We also had one class about puberty, where the girls were taken and told about periods and why they happen and the boys were taught about masturbation and I believe it is this kind of isolation that has made sex such a taboo within the education system. I am very close to my family and spoke many times about sex (mainly because my sister became pregnant at an early age) I was always taught that I should use contraception when I became active so that I wouldn't get pregnant, even now my mum is always on the phone before a night out asking if I've got condoms with me! But there were things that weren't approached at home or at school such as masturbation and STIs probably because my parents themselves didn't have the resources to approach the subject.
I believe confidence should also be included, I am a very strong minded woman and always have been so when I was involved in my first serious relationship at 16 I didn't have a problem with saying no and when we did have sex I was completely sure of my feelings towards him and still wouldn't have changed anything. We were both very aware of the consequences that could possibly follow and we often discussed them. I believe sex ed such be mandatory throughout schools from an early age regardless of parents' wishes, I'm sure there is literature that is taught which some people may find offensive, but it is on the curriculum. And surely genetics goes against most religious beliefs? But it is still taught, so teach about relationships and sex. After all knowledge is power, so let us, the adults, be mature enough to give the next generation the information and power to make informed choices.

Anon
I was sexually assulted at the age of 10 for three years. I knew nothing about sex at the time and was completeley oblivious to the fact that what this man was doing was very wrong! If I had received sex education at a young age, I probably would have been more likely to tell my family what was happening. What a fantastic programme.

Sandie, Lincolnshire
I think this programme was wonderfull! It's about time someone started showing the UK that our taboo attitude towards sex is the reason why our kids are so obsessed with sex and why we have such a high rate of under age teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted deseases. I think this programme should be aired at a prime time setting so that more people can see it! How can we make the Government take action now? I have three kids. One 22 year old who I was always very open with about sex and this made a big difference to the way in which she viewed the subject in her early to later teens. I also have two young daughters 6 and 8 and I am very concerned about them. I think that things have to change now before it is too late for them.

Alison, N.Ireland
I'm an sixth year student from Northern Ireland and recently completed Home Economics coursework on young people's views on Sexual Health Education. My study brought exactly the same results from a different area of the UK. How therefore can the Minister say that different areas need to focus on different types of sexual health education? Every young person should be entitled to adequate sex education. Being of school age, I have first hand knowledge of the lack of adequate sex education available. Any that I received in school was always religious and never very detailed. The government needs to ask young people what they want, not act on what the government thinks they want.

Sophia
Fantastic program, I’m still a teenager and I’m not sexually active but only because my family is very open about sexuality, to be honest school teaches you next to nothing and just tries to scare you, and preach abstinence – I’m not sexually active but I sill think abstinence is the last thing hormonal teenagers think about. Typically British - sex should be practiced behind closed doors! is basically what they are saying. You know something scary; yes my mum always said always use a condom, but most of my birth control knowledge was from my friends and the television which is ridiculous in the day and age, a girl in my school who obviously had self esteem issues got herself pregnant, and I think that is down to this very flawed school system. I quit school when I was 13 and am home schooling. It might just be my anti-school bias but I think sex education is thought less about than the budget for the school lunches. We would have sex education once every year or 2, and all they would show is a woman giving birth to scare us (I guess on some degree it worked cos after seeing that I did seriously think of adoption, but for me sex didn't really come into the equation it was just child birth that scared me) and something about stds and they would give the girls a tampon demonstration and would say it's natural to have pubic hair and that was the extent of it. oh and once they gave us an always pad which me and most of my friends threw away. I think the younger the better to learn about sex that is, I also think the fact it's such a taboo in England also might be the reason it is practiced with people who are underage because the media is telling them all sex is great and the schools aren't giving them the proper information, which I think sums up the problem. there is this unstoppable force (the media) blurring sex at us from all angles and there is the schools that don't give us the proper information because it seems they are embarrassed and don't want to offend other people. I think the question you should have asked is would you rather be embarrassed or have your daughter pregnant at 14? Well I'm all for this program Repetitive, compulsory and so on because like davina said in the program these teenage girls are people not just statistics

Vikki
I was stunned by the lack of knowledge among teenagers about sex and relationships and it seems clear to me that this is a major failure on the part of the education system. So why can the government not see that!? It was pretty obvious that the Minister spoken with on the show knew the situation but was too concerned about the popularity of the decision to come up with a clear course of action. She stated they were happy to continue down the path they had chosen....but we can already see it's not working!! So DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! The Government and schools in Holland obviously have the right idea and although the material used in the lessons and the age at which the sex education started may seem shocking at first, it has really worked and the evidence is in the statistics! Now, if it worked so successfully over there, why could it not over here? Are the British really such a group of prudes that we're more prepared to put the lives of our children and grandchildren at stake just to prevent us from feeling a little embarrassed? Fact of the matter is, something needs to be done and soon. I just don't understand why the government, who NEED to make these decisions, can't hop on board and just get on with it

Malcolm, 39
My experience: I was off sick from my school the day the sex education was due to take place (in our religious education class) so I missed it. That was it. I missed it. My father not once spoke to me about sex. My mother left a booklet in my bedroom, when I was about 15-16. Nothing more. I am self taught - but to be honest, that is true for most of my schooling, not just sex education. I feel let down. (I notice a lot more comments are from young women and girls than from boys.) Please, keep up the good work. Channel 4 continues to impress me.

Jomane and Cara
I think the sex education in schools is terrible, i left school about 4 years ago now and can remember only ever having one sex education lesson, in the lesson we were told how to put a condom on i never learnt anything to do with female contraceptives or even intercourse, lucky for me i could always talk to mum about sex and she was always honest when ever i asked her anything she always told me. Also she was the one who first told me about contraception for girls, she said that if i ever get a serious boyfriend that we should go to the doctor's and look into it, just to make sure i do'nt get pregnant. i think that sex education should be a part of the curriculum.

Maeve
As with several viewers I stumbled upon the show quite by accident and like the younger viewers was 'blown away' by the frankness in which Davina delivered what is obliviously long overdue. I would agree that sex education in the days before electric light some 30 or so years ago was very much in the dark and parents were very much in the dark also. by the sheer mention of the word 'sex' would bring down the walls of Jericho. There were the odd teenage pregnancies when I was in school and the reaction was that the poor girl was unable to do her final exams in the school and needed to sit them elsewhere, which left me confused and annoyed really. We have a programme here in Ireland for the teaching of sex and relationships but as mentioned in the programme a letter for permission is sent home for parents to sign and I really think that the parents who are more willing to talk to their kids about S.R.E are the ones who are giving permission for the go ahead.
My son (15) has just had his in the last few months. I warned him that there would be a lot of sniggering and joking about it but to add the 'parent' bit it was no laughing matter. I have tried to get the gist of what the talk entailed but got the usual MOM (Kevin and Perry) response. I was pleased to see that the negative responses were very legible I think and would also like to agree that sex education and relationships should also embrace the different religions and the cultural divide as the world indeed is getting smaller (don't tell Galileo!) I would also like to say as a few other contributors did if it went out at the same time as Desperate Housewives would it reach the target audience? Send copies of the programme to all schools and I really do hope that it is made compulsory in the schools over in England and maybe we won't take 20 years and so many of our scared young women will not need to visit your shores to terminate their pregnancies. I won't ramble on any more but good luck.

Wendy
well done this is just want we need, someone to show us how far behind we are. please repeat this show as i missed the first one on monday. i am a parent and would love us to be teaching the same way as they do in Holland. If our kids had more lesson they would learn from them, instead they have so few they spend time giggling and being embarrassed and don't learn things

Nick
i think the programme i watched today was brilliant, i only wish that my 15+13yr olds had the benefit of watching too. the dutch really have got it right, why don't we wake up. the sex education i got at school was virtually non exisistent, i had to go out there and find out for myself, i was fortunate that nothing went wrong, it could easily have. i'm certain that my children will go out there equipped with the knowledge of how to be safe, but only because i'm prepared to do something about it. what about all those children without parental guidance?
