03/03 Teens and Sex with Bishop T.D. Jakes
Quote From: sableyesWHEN are people going to be held accountable for their actions? All actions have consequences.
Bad behavior should not be rewarded. Kids are making their own rules as they go along and have no guidance, essentially learning from each other instead of being taught what is proper and acceptable. Adults have been remiss in teaching, advising, and leading.
What message is being sent to the kids who ARE trying to follow the rules, do the right thing, become respectable young adults?! WHERE IS THEIR REWARD? They aren't getting the help THEY need to continue on their path, and they will eventually give in to the acceptance that it's okay to be loose.
When the acceptance stops, the attitudes will change. When the supervision and guidance is returned to the school system AND the free time at home, there won't be a window of opportunity for kids to misbehave. They are bored, so sex has become an extracurricular activity!
Replace the acceptance of immorality with intolerance and then provide a better way for them to spend their time. The issue of passing out condoms in the school won't continue to be an issue.
I would say the reward for following the "rules"...(I assume you mean not having sex until married)...would be that they don't get pregnant or ill. Isn't that the reward?
There is nothing anyone can do that will stop teens from having sex. NOTHING. They might as well have easy access to condoms and they might as well KNOW how to use them.
