Are you a bad parent if you refuse to talk to your kids about sex? A national study out today says sex education in schools is not good enough, and sometimes does not happen at all.

If schools are getting it wrong, should parents make sure they talk to their children about sex. Youngsters say if their parents do not speak to them, they get their information from friends, telly or internet porn.

Are we failing our children? Did you avoid talking to your children about sex? Who told you the facts of life?

Figures just out show unemployment in the UK has risen again. There are now 2.57m unemployed. Youth unemployment has reached a record high of 991,000. Do you have a young person in your family who is struggling to find work? How are we going to tackle youth unemployment in Kent?

Coincidently, the government is launching a network of Work Academies, designed to help young people get into employment. What are they and will they really help?
