Health teacher vs Healthy teacher?

I wonder...... Why is sex/sex education so confusing for teenagers.

I thought rather than teaching about how to think, I decided to look at why thinking about sex is so confusing for my year 9's. I was absolutely blown away by the level of answers and how critical they were. 

We broke their lives in to four influences and wrote about what messages they give around sex. The differences showed the students straight away how the confusion occurs.

Co-construction in sex education

Class environment is key to any learning, especially around sex education. But, how can we create and co-construct with our students a comfortable environment where all students feel safe and supported. 

I asked my self this question, and came up with the fern of trust (not an original idea). I got my students  to create the leaves of which they thought were important in their fern of trust.
