03/03 Teens and Sex with Bishop T.D. Jakes
Quote From: amydeeGreat post. Why do some people posting here presume that concerns over teen sex are due to religious fanatacism? I would hope that non-religous people are just as concerned about the social and emotional implications -- not just the health ones --- of teens having sex. Have we really gotten to the point where concern over a mother permitting her 13-year-old to have sex is considered judmental and preachy? Why do you presume that anyone stating that abstinence education is ineffective must be unconcerned with 13 year olds having sex. Maybe we are just trying to steer the conversation away from what we know does not work and towards discussing things that might actually have a chance at working? I am VERY concerned about the glamorization of sexuality that kids have to navigate through each day...I just don't think being preachy, judgmental and invoking he wrath of God helps at all.
