I first imagine that this is the gov’t way of saying… Hey, it turns out that 15 y/o’s are getting pregnant, get stds, and there is lots of drama with regard to homosexuality (usually bullying… )
And we also know that stats show that Catholic girls and women keep ending up as part of these stats.
So, maybe it’s about time we actually TEACH about these things. A FULL SCALE education.
Here is a condom. It FAILS 5-20% of the time. This is how you accuratley put one one. Show it with the banana, nice and slow. Now, this is what usually ends up happening, because you (or your) teenage boyfriend is in a hurry. As it turns out. Condoms work in the same fashion if you’re married or not. If you’re married and it fails, your parents aren’t likely to flip out! If you’re still in school and it fails, you just became a stat. Let’s talk about all the things that get traded via fluids if the condem breaks.
Now, let’s talk about abortion. Better yet, Let’s WATCH some. But first we’re going to watch some 4 D ultrasounds of babies in the womb. Let’s look and see when we can see heart beats, fingers, mouths… Oh, look. That baby is yawning! And this one is sucking it’s thumb. They do that when they are sleepy, and when they want to comfort themselves.
Now. let’s watch an abortion. (show the video of the baby on ultrasound being aborted) how it fights… etc. Now, let’s talk about what risk a girls body is at with an ELECTIVE surgury. Uterine damage, etc.
Finally, let’s talk about homosexuality. It turns out that some people are attrackted to the same sex. (if teaching from a religious environment), we are taught this is not something to be acted on. We are also taught, however, that a person in this situation is to be treated with respect. It’s best to employ the golden rule here. Even if that person is acting as they shouldn’t based on our religious beliefs… You need to show their person respect. If in a public school environement, I would tell students if they have religious beliefs that don’t support homosexual activity, the best they can do for a person is to pray for them. But for everyone… these are people too. Treat them as such.
In all reality, a 15 y/o should be able to have these sorts of conversations. It’s never my favorite thing when they try to take parental rights away. But I also find it’s not realistic to pretend that non of these things are happening. I’d be looking to put a spin on them. They exist, and here’s all the negative things you need to know about them.
ETA: but I wouldn’t SAY they are NEGATIVE things… I’d just be sharing the truth about them. condems break, abortions kill, surgury can be damaging, Homosexuals are people too.
