Keeping kids Ignorant Is Not Keeping Them Protected

.

I wasn't aware that sex ed was not compulsory in the UK.

As calls are made for sex education to be compulsory in all schools Kizzy Neal, 15, is one teenager with a lot on her plate - exams, boyfriends and looking after her seven-month-old son.



Kizzy was in her best friend's bedroom when she found out she was pregnant, in the summer of 2006. She was 13.



"I didn't stop crying for three weeks and I was really, really scared," she says, now aged 15. "I knew I'd done something wrong. Thirteen is not the ideal age to have a baby."





She had been fearful after having sex for the first time, unprotected, with Louie.



"Since I got pregnant, I've learnt so much about contraception, abortions and sex but at school I think I had so few sex education lessons."more
