All people have the right to:  the highest attainable standard of sexual health, including access to sexual and reproductive health care services;  seek, receive and impart information related to sexuality;  sexuality education;  respect for bodily integrity;  choose their partner;  decide to be sexually active or not;  consensual sexual relations;  consensual marriage;  decide whether or not, and when, to have children; and  pursue a satisfying, safe and pleasurable sexual life.

If I talk about sexuality and relationships, I am worried…  they will go and try it  they could become obsessive or fixated on sexual behaviour  I am teaching something they don’t need to know…they won’t be having sex  they will just be confused by the information  I won’t know what to say when asked questions  about pregnancy and having to care for the child

Will you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
