Teenagers are learning more about sex from TikTok than they are at school (indy100.com)

Note that the survey (which found "Teenager are leaning more...") was done in the UK.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true in the US. But in the US (I don't know about the UK), Sex Ed. in public schools is often a very divisive political issue. If a US School Board decided that they would offer no Sex Ed. whatever, because they didn't want their regular public meetings to be no-mans-lands in the Culture Wars - I would not blame them in the least.


that's....about right I would say. Sex ed at school is unlikely to 'land' simply because it is coming from another generation. Education of this type needs to come from experienced team leads


Not sure if students are learning sex ed or being exposed to explicit material on Tiktok.


The article is about sexual health, not sex. To that extent it is clickbait.
