Let's talk about sex

As government experts recommend that all schoolchildren should receive
sex education from the age of five, three people with a personal
interest give their opinions. Interviews by Denis Campbell

The teenager
Vicky Glynn stopped going to college as a 17-year-old student in order
to look after her newborn daughter Maisie. She is now a peer educator
with the Brook Advisory Centre in Oldham
Neither me nor my boyfriend Lee got any proper sex education at school
in Oldham. We learnt about how the parts of the body worked, but
weren't taught about the sex aspects, like pregnancy. I learnt more
about sex from my mum, friends and older sisters. I got pregnant when I
was still at school, as did other girls in my year. That could have
been avoided if we'd had decent sex education. I was fairly ignorant
about the risks sex involves - many of the girls at school were the
same. I was having sex and not thinking about contraception or the
consequences. I knew I could get pregnant but did nothing to stop it. I
thought it wouldn't happen to me.
