They tell you "Wait until marriage!", "Don't let temptation get the best of you!", and "True love waits," but they always stop there. Schools are too afraid to go into detail about what sex at an early age can do. Parents are too uncomfortable to tell their kids what STD's are out there. But if they want us to remain pure till marriage, then maybe they should give us reasons to.
In middle school and high school, temptations start to circle around us and we have to choose. Choose between drugs or friends, alcohol or family, God or sex. And often times, we make uninformed decisions about this. If only we had people to ask and consult with who weren't so embarrassed!
If adults really care about what their teens do, they need to get over it and get involved. More sex ed classes, more parent-teen convos. That's what we need. And teens, don't be afraid to ask!
TAKE ACTION: TAKE A STAND!
