WenXian- Morning-after pills offered in British schools

LONDON:Condoms, pregnancy tests and morning-after pills are being offered in British schools to hundreds of thousands of children, some as young as 11.About 29 percent of secondary schools in England now have sexual health clinics , according to research by the Sex Education Forum. The f0rum is an umbrella organisation which supports the development of sex and relationship education in schools. It is found that one in six of all secondary schools gave pupils access to the morning-after pill or tests for sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia.One in20 school sexual health clinics provided children with presciptions for a variety of contraceptives - the pill, injections or implants - without their parnents being informed. The findings came just days after the government disclosed that there had been a 10 percent rise in the number of abortions among girls under 16 and a 21 percent rise for those under 14.

Personal Response :

I think that having sexual health clinics, introducing contraceptive methods are redundant though contracting the sexually transmitted diseases will be decreased. But, the rate of abortions of students will still increase. They should not just prevent the students from using contraceptive methods during intercourse and give them health checks, but to just prevent the students from having sex ! Having sex is the main cause of having sexually transmitted diseases so they should warn the students about the results of having sex. Not just using contraceptive methods will prevent being pregnant.
