It&#8217;s difficult to know how to approach this subject with anyone, especially teenagers who are notoriously reluctant to listen to advice and often feel indestructible and of the opinion &#8220;It&#8217;ll never happen to me&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a pity that the UK Government is being criticised about one of it&#8217;s campaign which tried a new approach to reaching young people in an effort to spread the word about how a condom is the only way to reduce the risk of getting or passing on an STI, as well as helping to guard against unwanted pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Safe Sex Campaign\" href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/uk\/8074914.stm\" target=\"_blank\">The BBC carried this article<\/a> about the campaign and the apparent &#8220;failure&#8221; of the \u00a3250,000 video download. But I ask you, if kids will not listen to sex ed lessons, advice from their parents, posters and TV campaigns what is the government supposed to do?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t knock them for trying something different. If it didn&#8217;t work then so long as the Department of Health learn from it and create a better one next time the campaign wasn&#8217;t a failure.<\/p>\n<p>Sex education, sexually transmitted infections, contraception<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safe sex is something that almost everyone is aware of, but a great many people choose to forget about in the heat of the moment, or because of pressure from &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/?p=7323\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14,3,35,16,25],"tags":[1387],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7323"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7323"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7323\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7325,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7323\/revisions\/7325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexsuze.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
