Young people in England and Wales are patronized and poorly informed by sex education in schools. Negativity from adults toward teenage sex, along with a lack of basic knowledge about pregnancy and STIs, were flagged up by a recent study commissioned by sexual health and advice service Brook.

America is famous for its abstinence-only funding for sex education program.

In November we happily reported that sex education would be mandatory in British schools from the age of 15.
