@andreajenkyns I respectfully disagree with this position. It’s important for it to be age appropriate of course but teaching kids nothing until they are 12 is not a good plan. Girls at 12 are maturing rapidly and if they have their periods are able to get pregnant. That is the reality.

@AiHexBuilder @andreajenkyns Maturing rapidly just means they are maturing and do it more quickly than boys at that age.

@jonesgarethp Well, I once asked my husband why anyone would want 3 or 4 sleeves on a top. He still laughs when he sees any clothing referred to as 3/4 length.

@kc_1378 @andreajenkyns I disagree, boys need to know so that girls don't feel shame about it in later life. My son came home and asked me about it. Many of them will go on to have female partners and daughters. And why wouldn't they want to know about something that affects 50% of the human race?

@DrBrooski @RockerProg @andreajenkyns It isn't just about that though. This generation of kids think of sex completely differently to my generation and how would you know how to arm your kids with this knowledge? I'm not talking about showing kids porn at school fgs.

@ericpool1971 @andreajenkyns Because sex Ed is different now, I went to a course run by the secondary school and you shouldn't assume that you know how the kids talk about amongst themselves. They should be armed with the right info.

@rob_mcknight @AllieHBNews Twice in my life I’ve been sobbing on a park bench and both times a man has approached to check if I’m ok. Both times they gave me wise (but generic, Dad-type) advice which was what I needed. Decided it was my guardian angel.
