It's not wrong for everyone to know about sex. However, we need to look into the situation. Is it necessary for a down's person?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucy'doing because every mother love their son. Everything son need, the mother try to get them. If I am mother, who have Down's son. I 'm planing to the best take care. I think his life isn't same normal people but he has fun and happy in life with my take care. I don't looking forward someone to be girlfriend. I think if he can choose by himself. However my mother 've always beside him.
ReplyDeletei agree with mom that takecare of down's son, but i think is not Lucy way. As Victoria Derbyshire says, "But I believe that he has every right to have the same opportunities as everybody else." so i think he can choose which way is the best for him to dicide. Not only sex because he is a man. He'll know about this in the future by him self not have someone teach him.
ReplyDeleteIf I am Otto'mom,I will pay attention to him very well and make sure he can have a life and can take care self by himself without somebody look after him.I think every parent have to do like this also.About girlfriend,I don't think he should to have girlfriend.it ok he should to do evething same another guy do but he is Down's syndrome.what happen with their life if they get marriage and have baby,How we know that baby will not a problem like father.I think this is hereditary disease.maybe,In the future scientist will can find some medecine for treat Down syndrome disease.
ReplyDeleteI nearly agree to her ways and ideas. If I were her, I give him various experiences as many as possible like her, even if they are difficulties. I would like him to give the optins because it's his life. I think it is unnecessary to provide girlfriend for him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucy because mother should suggest everythings to her son.This is relationship between mother and son.I think Otto have to choose girlfriend by himself and mother should take care her son closely.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Lucy that she find girlfriend for her son. I know she do it because she love and want to make him happy. For me, if she love him, she should teach him to accept the truth and live by himself, not ask someone to take care him all of life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that a girl friend gotten from mother finding is a real girl friend. His girl friends should come from understanding each other more than she is only pity on him. I think, knowing sex and haveing girl friend are not important. The importing is happiness of live.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Lucy about she find girlfriend for son. If I am mother, I will pay attention a son very good and teach him to know about sex or take care a son by go to relax at park. However I think Lucy and a son can choose a way is the best for make happy in life.
