I criticise it a lot, but in comparison to some of the experiences you guys have had, Sex Ed here in the UK is fucking fantastic. It's done a little bit at a time from when you're about 11/12 through to when you're 16 or so, starting with the basics of howmakbabby and ending on some of the deeper emotional stuff, with birth control and STDs in the middle. It was pretty comprehensive; the only area I feel was thoroughly neglected was the topic of rape - though the importance of consent was discussed a lot, there was absolutely nothing on how to deal with rape or sexual abuse, as either the victim or a friend of the victim.
