[quote]Salam, what you are suggesting  I believe is a solution for a few not all can benefit from this Iftekhar and as safimera  asked what about those who cannot benefit  or  enroll their children in muslim schools? Sex education  is not the only issue in Western countries  what about alcohol you can go buy alcohol if your are above 18 years , eating Halal foods.   In  Pakistan no sex education is given in schools but the kids are aware of  everything starting from homosexuality to contraceptive methods but this knowledge is not coming from schools or from the parents but from each other , the internet and tv.  Everyone has cable with no less than 100 channels  Indian film channels , English,  European movies  and with no parental controls.  Everyone is watching everything surfing the net with no security codes in fact children have more knowledge on how to use the computer and the web than the parents. Teenagers in Pakistan are as aware as a teenagers  in Europe, Great Brittan U.S.A. or Canada.  Yes we don’t talk of safe sex or tell the students that it’s acceptable but we also don’t talk about the changes a teenager goes through we have no outlets for our youth in Pakistan no sports facility no programs so what do the students  do? Go home do homework watch T.V. talk to friends on their cell phones, then sit on their computers. Parents don’t like their children to go out  to be with friends  this is  due to multiple of reasons. These children grow up to be very frustrated and angry youth they learn to hide and do things without parental knowledge 
                        How many sexual crimes take place in Pakistan we have no idea because they are never reported but if you talk to NGOs working  for  women , you will find out we have a lot of sexual crime including incest  but none reach a police station  a teenage pregnancy  will be terminated and girl will be married off. All these things are happening but they are not reported so there is no statistics available.Are they  less than Great Britain? No idea as these are things we don’t talk about you will not hear of teenage pregnancy from a parent or school, but does that mean it does not happen? 
                         In any western country a muslim parent talks about drinking and how in Islam you are forbidden to drink  so  do all Muslim youth start drinking at the age of 18? Of course they don’t , so why can’t parents talk about healthy interaction between the sexes to the children and explain how it is not acceptable to us Muslims if we don’t obey the prescribed limits.Safimera is right parents need to be aware of issues going around and keep talking to their children. The future of our youth in Pakistan is as much at stake maybe more so than the future of a muslim british youth, we as a nation have lost all our values of honesty, integrity and yes morality too. They are growing up in a corrupt country where no one respects the law or respects human life.  Crimes are committed  starting from smallest of traffic violation to mob killings, embezzling of funds but no one is caught, sex crimes happen of course not reported.  Is our youth better off than the youth of Great Britian?[/quote]
