Watchdog backs sex lessons for five-year-olds

Summary:
Currently in the UK the sexual education that is given is rated rather bad by students. It is either not enough or not good enough. Now the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) announced they want to start a new campaign in which sexual education is given to youngsters from the age of five and older. NICE officials announced that sexual education is more effective when introduced to young people before they have sex. Specialists give multiple reasons why it would be good to start giving sexual education to younger people.

Opinion:
Sexual education is way too early to be given to children who are only five years old. Their little minds are not ready for that kind of information and they should not be exposed to it yet. It would be better to start at the age of eight or nine in my opinion. Of course young people start having sex earlier and earlier each year but i still do not think it would be a good idea to start at the age of five. In my opinion everyone should just make sure that the sexual education given now is better than it was before and that we make sure parents have the right information as well at their disposal to straighten their children out if something does go wrong.
