China sex education was once again put off

A sex theme park supposed to be open in October in Chongqing, China was demolished even before its opening date. The state run newspaper China Daily expressed its concern on the owners "interested only in profiting from sensationalism"

Sex - Taboo subject in China

The park aimed to improve sex education and allow local people to get more access to information related with sex.

As the park's manager Lu Xiaoqing said:"Sex is a taboo suject in China, but people really need to have more access to information about it."

According to BBC News, the park will display giant genitalia, naked bodies and an exhibition of sex history.

Why press is afraid of speaking out

I am not surprised when found this piece of news, as China is a conservative country for centuries.

Its vast territories, including an incredibly large amount of ethnic communities, are far more tough for governing than westerners could imagine.

Who can guarantee those visitors' initiatives and attitude towards these rare displays.

And is China ready to positively embrace this kind of brain-wash which is directly contrary towards rooted Chinese mentality?

I seriously doubt about it. Though I do understand that to be open-minded, tolerant, and optimistic with changes is the pre-requisite for huge development, as a nation, or as a person, no matter whatsoever it does counts.

But under such a situation - a rigorous state controlling condition, anything that leads to transform people's mind will simply be torn down, just as the park.

Miracle - the youngest British dad

Since middle of Feburary, UK national newspapers such as the Sun, the Daily Mirror are full of reports on the 13-year-old lad Alfie Patten makes a 15-year-old schoolgirl pregnant.

Miracle - Britain's youngest dad

It was commented by many Sun readers saying that it's the most outrageous, appalling, disgusting and sickest thing they have ever seen.

How can it complies to the law that allows a boy in such a young age to father a baby girl. some readers doubted.

When I first saw the news, I was totally shocked that how can a boy in his age conceive a child? It must be joking!

Sadly, more episodes going on, the 13-year-old dad even bravely decides to take DNA test to prove he's the father of the babygirl and protects his girlfriend's reputation.

Since there are other three local lads claiming to be the father of the child!!

Sex education

Sex education is now reset on the top of agenda and discussing extensively on the board. Conservative leader David Cameron said that it's very very worrying.

And today you got children having children, but frankly parental is something that they shouldn't think about it. That is wrong and we've got to put it right.

According to BBC News, teenage pregnancy under 16, Uk is ranked on the top among European countries and just behind US.

Germany and France are ranked as fifth and tenth of teenage pregnancy respectively.

Government is now making sex and relationship education as compulsory in primary school. one parent said that after all the kids are going to have sex, in this circumstance, it's better to teach them how to have sex safely, make them understand how big the issue is to be pregnant.

Compared with my culture

In western countries, people are not shy of talking about sex, they've got relationship in a young age. But in my country, things are very different, young teens are still prohibited to fall in a serious relationship in the mainstream.

In a way, it controls child pregnancy and I rarely hear that a kid conceive a baby.

It's a one of the good things from Asian country.
