Healthy living: Let’s talk to our children about sex

Last week, I was walking in my neighbourhood, when a heard a group of boys, who are roughly my daughter’s age, laughing at their peer because he was a virgin. The boy in question looked embarrassed, as his peers pointed fingers at him, and questioned whether he was really a man.

I walked away feeling both proud and sad for that lad. Proud that he was standing out and had chosen to be virtuous, in a time when it is becoming an alien thing.
