Sex education in Ireland and the UK is failing badly

The UK and Ireland's approach to sex education is failing, and consequently many young people still don't understand the risks of unprotected sex, or how to use a condom properly. Safe sex information has to become more inclusive of all the different aspects of sexuality, and shed its prudishness, if its to have a worthwhile effect.

British and Irish children remain one of the most poorly educated children in Europe in regard to safe sex practices and the safe sex education system in the UK and Ireland has to address the short-comings, if the rise of STD's in both the UK and Ireland is to be controlled.

Programmes will have to inform Irish and British young people about the risks of STD's and the ways to reduce the risks when having sex. They have to become familiar with contraceptive methods and devices and learn how to properly use condoms.

Surveys show that up to 25% of all Irish and UK teenagers are having sex, and that many are unaware of the risks of sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and unwanted pregnancy. Many don't connect sex with becoming pregnant with a child, and are unsure of the how to properly use or buy condoms.
