change it so healthy relationships are taught before sex ed

Petition Details

make it so pupils/students are taught about healthy relationships, good relationships and happy relationships before sexual education

Additional Information

I’d like the government/parliament to do this as a lot of relationships are usually always about sex as they get taught it so early but if stuff about healthy relationships are taught, hopefully we can have it changed for next generation and current generation to avoid abusive and sexual relationships so young
