Birds and Bees… Please!

Increasingly, our Youth are surrounded by sexual images, facts and distortions, news stories and sexual humour, as well as having ready to access to sexual information on the internet, not to mention chat rooms and chat lines where they can experiment with sexual interaction in the privacy of their home. But there is still little opportunity for them to make sense of it, even whilst trying to come to terms with their own physical, hormonal and emotional changes and identity.

Birds and Bees...Please? Acknowledges teenagers' interest, frustration, confusion and embarrassment over the subject of sex. It encourages students not to clamp up in shame and suppression over sexual matters, nor to let their hormones, their peers or the media dictate their choices, but rather actively and responsibly learn about sex without jumping into it impulsively.
