Except there isn't. Sex ed is a joke in Britain, always has been.

I also think Stacey trusts Bex and knows if it will happen, she'd rather keep Bex close instead of pushing her away so she could end up having sex in a back alley with him or something.
Think this highlights teenage sex really well actually.”
Absolutely. It is a good story.

That's like saying schools have to discipline children and teach them life skills, how to deal with reality. It doesn't happen. Very naive.”
