Informal sex-ed leaves young girls lacking, but it's better than nothing

Since high school sex-education classes became casualties of budget cuts, older students who remember what they learned in years past are taking up the mantle of educators. A stage play about sex and sexually transmitted infections provided an opportunity to fill areas of ignorance for younger students. "During a Q and A afterwards, one girl asked, “What are ovaries?” I was in shock that we had to define parts of her own body." The story, by Voicewaves youth reporter Suzan Al Shammari, aired on Youth Radio.
