Sex and Social Services

Dear Hillary,

In the September 21 edition of the paper, a chap called Jacques wrote to you about teenage pregnancies.  What I want to tell you is that it is not just a Thai problem, but is a problem all over the world, whether they get sex education lessons or not.  Jacques is probably French, looking at his name, and they have the same problem over there, but the difference between Thailand and Europe is that in Europe social services pay the young girl, so they don’t get into bar work.  Here there are no social services, so the young girls find their own way around the problem.  It’s nothing to do with right or wrong, it’s just a different way of looking at it.

Will

Dear Will.

Where there’s a will, there’s a won’t, is that right Petal?  I still say that education is the requirement, both here and in the rest of the world.  Anything to stop teenage pregnancies is an excellent idea in my books.  And I am not being judgmental about this either.  I did not say anything was “right or wrong”, it was you who brought morality into it.
