I am a teacher.I attended one of your progammes recently.Most of my students are addicted to cinema.They have more interest in cinema than their studies.Most of the time,even inside the class rooms they discuss about their favourite cinema heroes and heroines.Girl students are no exception to it.These students are devoted fans of their cherished heroes.They talk about the most intimate scenes that they have seen in the films and even enjoy discussing about it very openly.As teenagers they are more interested in discussing about the sexual affairs of their favourite ones.Our openion is that cinema, has corrupted the younger minds totally.A thorough discussion on sex education for these younger generation may help them to understand the misconception they carry in their mind about sex.I am thankful if you please give me some valid suggestion on this matter.

ANSWER

The new age teenagers are totally a different breed.They are for more advanced in technology and the information they have on modern day gadgets are far superior than their teachers and their parents.They understand things without much explanation.Their knowledge is vast in most of the delicate subjects.Cinema is a very small entertainment for them.They gather all sort of information in a better way than their elders. Most of the modern day youngsters are tech sauvy

and their techniques in handling the most sensitive subjects are superb.But it is good that some value based sex education by shool counsellors and doctors may help them to understand the subject in a clear way.Child sex abuse is very common.Children should be advised how to report these matters to the teachers and to their parents without any hesitation.Guiding the new generation, teaching the good morals, inculcating the good habits, and making them and moulding them to be a good and healthy citizens, no doubt lies in the hands of the most respectable teaching community.
