2. Do not be scared, be prepared SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY, GET OVER IT!! SOME PEOPLE ARE LESBIAN, GET OVER IT!! You may want to withdraw because of religious reasons, we understand that. We would like your child to still have a go and see what it is like to learn about it in the lesson. Are you worried about your child learning about sex education? It is ok to say no to sex! Ask yourself these questions: Are you unsure what to do if you don’t want to learn about it? Is there someone you can talk to about sex? What is safe and what is not safe? How are boys different to girls? How does your body change? If you would like to stop your child learning about Sex; please contact Mr Mitchell he will respect Wishes! By Year 7 boys (2012)

7. 'The most important thing for me and my friends is that we should talk about it when we grow older. Tell teenagers as they are older.' 'Well the most important thing is that you shopuld explain what sex is and also what can come from sex and how to prevent sex.' 'We think it is important to learn about sex education like learning about your body because incase of a relationship.' 'The most important thing about sex and relationships is to know your limits and dont rush things by being a person like a teenage mum.' 'If you want to tell someone young about sex and relationships teach them about friendship first.' 'Knowing how to look after your body as it changes. Learning that changes are normal to you. I'd like to know how to be smart in relationships.' Year 6 - twitter tin Having completed a number of activities to explore what should be taught in SRE and how, Year 6 pupils focused on writing a 'tweet' to sum up their thoughts about SRE.

'I think sex and relationships could be helpful because we need to know about sex so we can be prepared when we are older.' 'Sex is not a thing to play with its a thing that only adults can express themselves with. DO not allow teenagers to try sex.' 'As you get older you develop new things so its better to behave in a serious way. In a relationship you need to act in a serious way.'
