Children infected with diseases through having unprotected sex have reached unprecedented levels in the UK. Whilst the finger is being pointed at the government, others insist that shrinking moral standards are to blame. An increase in the number of under 16-year-olds in Great Britain with a sexually transmitted disease has risen by a monstrous 58 percent. Many are blaming the government for the extraordinary increase, not only for their “complacent and lax” attitude when it comes to informing the young about sexual health, but also for slashing public health spending in recent years. Schools providing insufficient sex education are also regarded as contributing to the alarming levels of youngsters contracting infections like herpes and Chlamydia. But can the responsibility lie solely in the hands of the government and teachers? Or are the youngsters of today merely a product a society in which monogamous relationships and marriage have taken a back seat?
