For over a period of years sex and young people have been a growing issue all around the UK. In 2008 the NHS survey national statistics show that 57% of young people between the age of 16-19 were having unprotected sex. In 2009 it was seen that 47% of young people between the ages of 13-15 are sexually active and are either not using contraception or not using it right. Is this because they have been led astray by their peers or have these young people not been receiving contraception advice and information early enough? We follow pregnant teen Nafisat to explore her view on young people and contraception?
Young people friendly are a very popular service that provides free contraception and advice for young people under 25 all around the UK.
Sex is becoming very popular amongst young people between the age of 13-15 as the years go on. Why is there a rapid increase in teenage pregnancy and teenage abortion? Is it because they are being exposed to information about contraception at an early age, which may enable them to gain ideas or is it something the British society will just have to sit back and watch, so the question we need to ask ourselves, young people and contraception is it right ?
There are different views and opinions on young people and contraception, some people argue that it is wrong that young people between the age of 13 and 15 should not be exposed to such information at an early age, however some people argue that young people of that age should be receiving contraception and advice on it, as if they do think of ever having sexual intercourse they would be fully aware of how to use and the consequences of not using it, sexual health advisor demonstrates how to use a condom safely.
Another issue is if it is morally wrong? As some religions such as Christianity and Islamic faith believe in no sex before marriage therefore anything surrounding the subject is for bided.
