CONCLUSION
«SEX EDUCATION» IS NOT JUST A SERIES ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF
ADOLESCENTS, IT REVEALS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEOPLE, SHOWS
THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS,
THAT EVERYONE IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY. WHEN I FIRST STARTED
WATCHING THIS SHOW, I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF
WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER – OTIS. PROBABLY BECAUSE I’M JUST AS
SHY AND KIND OF «CORRECT», WHICH MAKES ME A BIT RELATED TO
THIS CHARACTER. I ADVISE YOU TO WATCH THIS SHOW SO THAT YOU
CAN ALSO FIND SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOURSELF THAT WILL HELP YOU
SORT OUT YOUR DIFFICULTIES AND THOUGHTS. SEX EDUCATION IS
REALLY EDUCATIONAL AND AT THE SAME TIME COGNITIVE PASTIME.
