Let children be child and try to fill their heads with worrying images that would upset an adult. Most porn is misogynistic and violent. Children have no place seeing this content.

Very concerning to read about the attempted normalisation of a sexist, racist, homophobic industry, that treats women's bodies as commodities, by a UK Children's charity.

Thank you for getting this petition started. The aim of sex Ed should always be to safeguard children so they are able to explain if abuse happens. It seems we have lost sight of the purpose.

WTF are you thinking of promoting porn to children?

It’s is known how damaging porn is especially to females and you think it’s a good idea to tell children porn is ok? At a time when rape is no longer prosecuted and an epidemic of young girls being abused in schools. This really is a bad look. You are supposed to help safeguard children. What on gods earth where you thinking.

No children should be exposed to, or taught about, porn. It degrades women, and destroys children's innocence.. And causes them to have unrealistic expectations of sex, creating abusive sex patterns.

I’m appalled that you would ever consider making and showing a video about porn for young people - unless it was to show the harm it causes

A shocking abuse of authority by the NSPCC/Childline to promote sexual violence. Disgusting.

Porn predominantly degrades females as sex toys for males. Childline is not fit for purpose when it aims porn at children & calls it ‘educational’

Whilst I can see a case for acknowledging that kids are watching porn and it is better to talk about it this video goes over the line. Please take note of these concerns.

Porn is extremely deleterious to adults - let alone children.

I know of a child who got severe PTSD after being shown porn by kids at school on phones.
