Abstract: Britain ranks a high abortion rate among countries in Western Europe, and the rate of adolescent sexual activity is gradually increasing over the past four decades. Unhealthy sexual behavior can be related to the increase in teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, which usually result in negative social and physical consequences for both mothers and children. Effective health promotion and comprehensive sex education to deliver sexual knowledge and bring up a positive sexual attitude is desired for young people in the UK. As family and school play vital roles in the formation of young people’s consciousness and the acquisition of knowledge, the purpose of this article is to critically analyze the shortcomings of sex education provided by families and schools in the current British society through the retrospective study of existing research. Suggestions are also provided regarding the responsibilities of family members in sex education issues, reasonable school curriculum and other social support for further improvement of sex education for young people.
