Young must research sex - Blair

Tony Blair has warned young people to take responsibility for their sexual behaviour and learn more about sex from the wealth of information on offer.
He told BBC Radio 1 - which has begun research into youth attitudes on sex - there were far more ways to discuss the topic compared to his schooldays.
The prime minister also laughed off one of the study's questions, refusing to say if he ever had a one-night stand.
He promised the survey's results would help to improve health services.
"When I was at school there wasn't any formal sex education at all," he said.
"People picked it up in all the ways, from friends, parents and so on, but I think there's a lot more information there now.
"This isn't just about formal structures, it's about networks where people are actually going to have a far better idea from talking to people what are the types of problems they may confront and how to behave responsibly, sexually." (more...)
