Sex education is important

From Sinar Pagi

The development of this nation has greatly influenced the behavior of our youth. In big cities, some teenagers have shown deviant sexual behavior and are more likely to have casual sex. Discussing sex should no longer be taboo. I think it is necessary to teach sexual education openly and rightly, as long as it is dealt with correctly, unlike the way it is presented in magazines, the Internet and pornographic VCDs.

Ignorance about sexual organs can mislead many youngsters to indulge in casual sex, which can result in unwanted pregnancies. Casual sex can also increase the risk of infection of various venereal diseases and HIV, which can lead to AIDS.

Such dangers have prompted me to collect over 100 pages of clippings on sex from various sources so that I can provide clear and correct information about sex for youngsters.

Readers who are interested in reading my clippings can contact me by enclosing postage stamps for the answer.
