then note the results for teenage pregnancies, abortions, births and miscarriages...signs of "Maturity"...or lack thereof...for the Netherlands...and the U.S. (see linked Guttmacher data)...

"The Netherlands

In the light of the report "Sexuality Education in Europe", sexuality education in the Netherlands began to be developed in the 1960s as a part of a pragmatic approach to sexual health with contraception and abortion.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the population was supportive of measures introducing sexuality education and the country succeeded in having the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe. As a matter of fact, measures have been taken to fight against HIV/AIDS and to promote good sexuality education by including it in the Policies for Sexuality Education in the European Union
school curricula. At the end of 1980s, HIV/AIDS prevention was taught in 85% of the Dutch secondary schools.

Nevertheless, it seems that the acceptance of sexuality education is mixed across the country. Measures concerning sexuality education face local opposition in the centre of the country and in rural areas52.

Yet, the Netherlands still seem to be a good example in Europe concerning sexuality education. A recent study showed that 97.0 percent of 15-year-old Dutch girls and 92.4 percent of 15-year-old boys declared using contraception53.

The report 'Cost and Cost-effectiveness Analysis of School-Based Sexuality Education Programmes in Six Countries' issued by the UNESCO, informs that in the Netherlands, the current sexuality education curricula began in 1990 with two programmes: R&S (Relationships and Sexuality) for primary schools and LLL (Long Live Love) for secondary schools, still in force today54.

According to this report, the R&S curriculum was created in 1990 and targets pupils AGED FROM 4 to 12. This programme includes 49 lessons which can be chosen by the teacher. The contents of R&S are: knowing the human body, the image of yourself and others, nudity, differences between boys and girls and friendship. For pupils aged from 10 to 12, the contents are: changes during puberty, friendships and love, contraception and resisting unwanted peer pressure.

For each grade, 6 to 7 lessons of sexuality education are taught and when they enter secondary school, pupils are supposed to have followed 50 hours of sexuality education during their previous schooling. A study from 2010 states that almost 10% of primary schools (about 350 schools and 70 000 pupils) are benefitting from this programme and more and more schools are adopting it. "

Basically, if we don't adopt similar programs, like the Dutch have, we are ENDANGERING OUR CHILDREN...the evidence is clear...and it's repeated in other countries as well....everyone needs to face facts and let go of unwarranted emotions.
