Why would you want to watch tv shows about sex education?

This is how you can use them as a parent:

  1. Get educated first. TV shows about sex education act as an opportunity to learn something new about sex, and upskill yourself in regards to what this generation of teens are getting up to. Though the show is based on British teenagers and it was first created over 10 years ago, but the information is still relevant today.
  2. Watch together with your teen. Power to Decide (formerly The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancylooked at whether tv shows help parents to discuss love, sex and relationships with their teen, even if they aren’t watching tv together.  They surveyed a sample of 13-16 year old teen girls and found that it did help. They also found that nearly nine out of 10 teens say that it would be much easier for them to postpone sex and avoid pregnancy if they were able to have more open, honest conversations about these topics with their parents. Teens crave these conversations with parents, even if they don’t always act like it.

How might you use TV shows about sex education, to start a conversation with your teen about love, sex and relationships? Are there any that comes to mind?
