  • We had some sex education in primary school at age 9.

    It told the girls that they’re going to have periods. At age 9 some of them will be so I think this is a good idea. Parents were able to opt their kids out if they wished.

    It told the group as a whole that puberty is a thing, and we might start it soon. Some changes might happen like body shape changes, voices getting deeper, hair growth etc.

    None of it was about how to have sex, or how children are made. It was simple stuff that kids that age would benefit from knowing.

    I don’t understand why anyone would even be on the fence about their kids knowing this stuff.






  • Hmm.

    Are we at the point of the young out voting the currently old? I don’t have the stats but my feeling is we aren’t at that tipping point for another ten years or so.

    I’d say tories are losing out on this election because they’ve just pissed off the electorate so much, including their older voters. But I’d wager a number of those older voters will still be around and willing to vote Tories in the next election when there’s some more gutting of the country to benefit them.

    But if you have stats that prove my feeling wrong I’d definitely want to see them, but I’m not interested enough to look it up myself :D
