When I was
13, I spent my time running round in scruffy shorts and T-shirts,
pigtails flying, climbing trees without a care in the world. Boys, yuk!
They were best ignored.
The closest I got to anything grown-up was my trainer bra.
How
different it is today, when the modern world destroys girls’ innocence
at such a young age. Constantly sexualised by TV, pop music, teen
magazines and the fashion industry, they are subjected to siren voices
at every turn.
You might expect, however, that one place they would be safe from such pressures would be in the schoolroom. No longer.
As
the Mail revealed this week, Department of Education official
guidelines — endorsed by Nick Clegg — now state that penetrative and
oral sex should be regarded as ‘normal’ behaviour for 13-year-olds.
Many
in the teaching profession are rightly appalled by the directives, not
least because sex under the age of 16 is a criminal offence.
