[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] I agree with that fully, Baloo. In fact, at the youth group I've recently started to attend, we've been going through a 6 week series ON sex and how to abstain from it, rather than just practice it safely. This series has been wonderful, and the way the youth pastor has gone about presenting it has helped a lot. Instead of just taking the normal adult stance of "Don't do it." he's been talking to us in real life terms and telling us the FACTS about it. Not just statistics on pregnancy and diseases, but the facts about the emotional stress that can go with it, and the life long consequences that follow. I truly feel that this is THE most worthwhile thing I've ever sat through, and I truly wish everyone could sit through it. It's opened my eyes to a lot of things, and I know it's opened the eyes of a lot of my friends, too. What we need is for kids to be exposed to THIS kind of information... real life, down to earth, terms that kids can understand and relate to type of input, instead of the sugar coated "This is how to have sex safely" or just the "Don't do it" lecture. If kids feel that they are being spoken to at their OWN level, rather than being spoken DOWN to, then they are more likely to respond, and in the case of the youth group, the responce is wonderful. There... my two cents.... ~LOA [/QB][/QUOTE]
