Youths who are embarrassed to ask questions about sex can now turn to the Internet for help, thanks to a new Web site launched by the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong.
Sponsored with $250,000 from the Quality Education Fund, the Web site is designed to promote sex education and encourage teenagers to exchange opinions on-line.
'The Internet has become a popular and useful communication tool among youths. Sex education is a broad subject and we would like to deliver our information in a more interactive and interesting way,' Doris Shu Lai- yi, the association's associate director (information, education and communication), said.
The Web site includes a Student Zone and Teacher Zone.
The Student Zone consists of five elements - Sex Education Library, Playground, E-mail-card Centre, Letter Box and Sex Edu cation Calendar.
The Sex Education Library offers basic information on the association and services it provides.
It also features a mini-dictionary, a quiz and illustrations.
