Children 'having sex at 11' 
More than a quarter of 11-year-olds in the UK know someone their age who is having sex, according to a new survey.
The charity, Marie Stopes International, commissioned the study of 1,077 children aged from 11-15.
It intends to use the findings to win support for a new campaign it is running to supply any child logging onto its website with free condoms on request, which will be posted to them at home.
More than half of those surveyed did not know that condoms could prevent HIV while one in 10 believed the virus could be passed on through kissing.
The study also revealed that more young people were concerned about contracting a sexually transmitted infection or getting pregnant than they were about doing well at school.

That's horrendous (mind you 11 year olds lie. A lot) Cue someone (probably someone who hasn't got any kids) saying "If you give them condoms you're just encouraging them to have sex"
Can't see sending condoms to 11 year olds homes is a good idea though. What happens when some little scrote puts his friends' details in ? IMHO schools should have condoms available. But then someone always chips in with the above argument

B*llox - Mrs P-to-be's 2 are 11 and 13. They claim stuff like this all the time. They also reckon "other boys" go to bed at 10:30. Like f*** they do !!!

ELEVEN???? WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY??
Sorry but that makes me feel sick.
Having said that, when I was that age there was always something said about so and so going out with so and so, but that was it - sex wasn't an option, hell - I think the most bodily contact was holding hands going home from school!
Who'd have thought it would change so much in 10 years...

I totally agree with MrsD.
11 yo's talk a whole lot of crap, especially when they are around their mates. They are old enough to excercise bravardo but to inexperienced to know when it obviously sounds like bulls4!t.
Problem is that although any adult knows this, someone in a postion a of responsiblity can't take the risk that in a specific case it is the truth, by discounting it as a fabrication. They would get their arses totally kicked for neglegence.
Also, what good would it do for contaception to be availible in schools anyway? Even if they don't know all the whys and wherefores about sex, one thing you can be sure of is: they know they shouldn't be doing it.
Going the the school nurse would be a blatent admission of guilt, and I certainly wouldn't trust/expect the nurse to maintain that confidence and nor would any kid with half a brain.

I didn't evem know how to w*nk at 11! Still wasn't sure how to shag at 15 (and neither did she, also 15). Got a bit better after a few goes.
But - girls have got older sooner over the past 20 years. Evolution, television, soap operas, films, fashion, lack of parental control, the bloody internet, have all contributed.

Am sure there is an element of truth in CZ post but I still remember 10+ years ago, working in hospital labs, come termination day how many 11-14 yo were on the list. Given the social changes since then I would not be surprised if in certain areas the figures were not up to these level
Lets get the facts right here. 1 in 4 know someone whos at it. Now they all know at least 35 other kids (a class full) so that would be 1 in 140 is claiming to be at it. 50% lie (at least) so in fact 4 in 1000 11 year olds are at it.
Sounds about right. Not quite a headline grabber though is it.

they were terminating 11 year olds !
Actually doesn't sounds like a bad idea for some of the little brats
Make it compulsary I say
Bloke I once met reckoned he lost his virginity at 11 to two 14 year-old babysitters - yeah right!
Throughout your teens someone, then later everyone is having sex, except yourself of course. Surely the questionaire would have been more valid if they asked "have you had sex?".
I reckon that monkeyjunky has got it right, statistically not even viable, but if it pays the salaries of these people, they'll set out to scare parents who are already worried enough when their kids hit their teens.
