As the title says, snowflakes inside.
On the way home from school today, teen DTMFA (14yo) mentioned that the sex and relationship knowledge she's gained via school is woefully inadequate. In her words: "They've basically just been like 'Here's the names of your body parts, good luck bitches!'" (I know they've covered STBBIs and so on so it's not quite as dramatic as all that, but as far as I know sex ed here still does a pretty poor job of teaching kids how to form and maintain healthy, positive sexual and romantic relationships).
She knows that I'm up for answering any questions she has, and I'm about to send her the link to Scarleteen, but she's a big reader and might appreciate a book as well if there's one out there that you think is brilliant. A few musts, from my perspective:
Must be written in a way that is empowering for young women, if not explicitly feminist
Must have a strong focus on LGBTQ+ sex and relationships, not just an "add-on" chapter
Must include a strong focus on healthy relationships, including consent
Feel free to also recommend any other resources (websites, etc) that you think might be helpful! |
