Spunout.ie gives advice because parents won’t
Their pride and shame make them hell bent on ignoring the lives of their teenagers. Their mentality is ‘my little Johnny or Mary isn’t doing that’, yet they disdain the neighbours’ kids by saying ‘their lads are all on drugs and having sex every weekend’. But Johnny and Mary are the same age, on the same street, in the same town, and they’re angels.
Spunout.ie educates teenagers on sex, whether or not their parents ignore it. Parental denial doesn’t diminish the validity or necessity of Spunout.ie. Most people, when they were teenagers, did not ask their parents about sex. So, shouldn’t Irish parents be happy that Spunout.ie receives State funding?
