Ought we to be alarmed that a health trust is handing out chlamydia tests at an Essex funfair as a means of targeting young people? Could this not be yet another way of actually encouraging sexual activity among the young?
Maybe I’m a bit old-fashioned, but it seems to me that sexual education has entirely failed in this country where over 9,000 pregnancies in the under-16s were reported in 2007. Maybe, teenager magazines and television programmes don’t help either.
The representative for NHS North East Essex said that, ‘We are hoping young visitors will fit us in between some of the more thrilling rides.’
It’s the more thrilling rides that have caused the problem!
