Brighton and Hove Albion giving young players sexual consent training - BBC News I'd laugh, if it wasn't so flaming tragic
Really? At a time when you get hounded by some WAG wannabe, head back to a hotel with a mate then get accused of rape when her boyfriend finds out, I think totally apt. Should teach it in schools too.
Plus with porn the way it is, many young kids seems to be confusing 'no' as a game vs 'no - get the heck off me'
I'm depressed that there is a need, or a perceived need, for this to be taught. I'm not challenging the need for it. As for the porn thing - people only get confused in this way if they think it can be used as a defence, afterwards, in court. Next year - breathing lessons. How to breathe and thus, stay alive.
I'm only depressed it needs teaching at the age of 10 or 11 or whatever they are now saying. Cripes. Whatever happened to Dinky cars at that age?
That's the World Wide Web for you access to anything and everything for any age Not always a good thing I'm depressed I can't teach my children my knowledge as they all ready know it
It is terrible, but its difficlt to say if rape would have been claimed as much 40 years ago if todays standards are applied. Well actually we know, look at a lot of the cases currently being pursued. You only have to see recent polls showing (I think) 14% of girls under 15 had been in a sexually explicit video of some kind, whether it was just being naked or actual sex acts on another. Its the norm for many of these kids. And with porn getting more and more violent, and kids seeming to have an even more difficult moral and right/wrong compass than ever in the UK, is it any wonder we try to protect them from themselves? Sad day...alas it seems a neccesary one
Sex education in schools rarely includes anything about the need for consent, let alone what consent actually means. Or so I am told. Learning the mechanical stuff is easy - but not enough.
"fame and fortune" ? You did see that this is a story about Brighton & Hove Albion ? Unlikely that a career there would lead to either, I'd guess...
Seeing as the average salary for a player in the Championship is the thick end of £500,000.00 per year I'd be interrested to hear what your definition of fortune is if they aren't getting one.
All those players will be in 2k a week even if never playing. Most at least 5k. It's a different world.
