Outside experts best for sex advice
Youth Work Now
1 May 2010
Young people want to be taught about sex and relationships by sex education specialists and not teachers, according to a report.
Sex Education ... Do You Get Enough? was produced by youth forum Headsup and found that young people felt awkward talking to people who they knew well about such issues. Instead, young people said talking to an outside specialist or expert would be less embarrassing.
Young people on the forum also suggested that the main way they learned about sexual relationships was through friends and the media, but there was recognition that this was a potentially dangerous way of sharing vital knowledge about such an important issue.
