"In the UK nearly 3 percent of females aged 15 to 19 became mothers in 2002, many of them unintentionally. And unplanned pregnancies are not the only consequence of teenage sex--rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are also rocketing in British adolescents, both male and female. The numerous and complex societal trends behind these statistics have been endlessly debated without any easy solutions emerging. Policy makers tend to focus on the direct approach, targeting young adolescents in the classroom." (NEW SCIENTIST) This article probes the question of whether "teenagers need more sex education, or less?"
