"There's too much of this stuff going on in all faiths. I've got
to wonder why."
I had a friend that was a university campus youth minister for a couple
of years.
The stories he told me about some of the female students making advances
to him were well-nigh unbelievable.
And being single at the time made it a real stuggle for him.
Eventually he moved on to working in the financial sector, but he said
he didn't know how he managed to not become another statistic in
the "preacher frolicks with the flock" syndrome.

I don't doubt that is true. There is a distinct difference, however, between university students and kids in high school.
In any case, a youth minister or anyone else in contact with young people must deal with such advances by firmly rejecting them. We are all tempted by lots of things. Those with ethics do not succumb to such temptations.
A youth minister I know, had a window put in his office door and had a silent alarm to his secretary. He did not want to take any chances that something like that would happen.
