Sex education should be:

-ongoing and time consuming. Not rushed.

-joint with other subjects to create larger understanding (4)

Teachers should:

-act natural and liberal discussing subjects like sexuality and gender so student can get proper, equal information (5).

-listen to students and be trustworthy to gain the trust of the students (2)

-include parents in sex education by giving them information on what has been discussed and asking them what would be useful to talk about at school.

-ask for cooperation with public services/ organizations to provide professional information.

- use gender neutral terms and avoid making assumptions of other's sexual orientations (3)

-incorporate positive examples of LGBTQ individuals, romantic relationships and families (3)
