Do you have any links that weren’t included here that you could share with us from the past week?

A recent survey has found that almost 1,000 under-16 year olds have been diagnosed with venereal diseases (STI’s) such as herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea in the past three years in UK hospitals. The youngest amongst this group of affected youth was a boy 11 years old who was treated for chlamydia.

The number of youth affected by STI’s in this recent survey is a sliver of the UK hospital and trust system since most institutions did not decide to release this type information. But those that did revealed that as the patient aged through puberty and into their late teens, the more STI’s and sexual health problems they had.

Since 2008 the shocking statistics of youngsters affected are as follows:

• 44 girls and 2 boys aged 13 

• 200 girls and boys aged 14

• 602 girls and boys aged 15

From this survey, it has been found that almost 3 times as many girls were affected and treated compared to boys. The most common STI treated was chlamydia.

This study’s shocking results reveal the great importance of sexual health services and sex education to all demographics. It is vital that parents and schools promote safe sex. The data shows that sex education and sex talks need to start at a young age in a child’s lifetime.

However, it is difficult for children to learn from their parents and role models when the overall sexual health of adult Britons is frail. It’s reported that more than 1 in 3 Brits has unprotected sex with a new partner. It is impossible for the children to learn the importance of good sexual health practices and avoidance of STI’s if the adult population isn’t helping to use illustrate healthy safe sex behaviors.

Condoms are the most effective protection against STI’s and are essential in eliminating venereal diseases. But how early is it to start talking about sex and condom use with your child or the youth? Is 11 years old too young to start these talks?

What age do you think sex education should start to be taught in the public school system to improve the overall sexual health of our youth?
