There's this recent uproar because of the sex video that is circulating around. A question is raised, "Is the amount of sex education in Singapore sufficient?" The problem with this question is that reduces the whole issue of pre-martial sex to a matter of a lack in sex education. No doubt does sex education play a part in informing teenagers of the dangers of being involved in pre-marital sex.

And in this society where values are rapidly changing and morals quickly eroding away, the system in place is not changing fast enough to keep up in step. Teachers don't feel comfortable enough to teach openly. Educators are unsure as to how much they should cover and how deep they should venture into. While waiting for systems to set in place, many teenagers would have suffered for their ignorance and curiosity
