Whoa whoa whoa . . . author here.
I did not say we are OK with it, and I certainly did not say we tell the kids it’s OK.
All I said is that it doesn’t shock us. Hardly anything does anymore.
I object to it because it’s wrong, not because it’s shocking.
My husband and I are driving to a city 100 miles away this Saturday to take our two teenage boys to see the movie Bella. Trailer here. We want to make sure that they get not just the facts, but the heart-response that puts sex, love, marriage and family in context.
God made the human heart for more than trivial pursuit. A heart full of love and honor will not even be attracted to junk sex.
Why post just to me? There are plenty of people thinking its WRONG not just me & posting it too. If I had a child in that school I would pull her or him out asap.
All I said is that it doesn’t shock us. Hardly anything does anymore.
Really? Well get ready for more & more things that won't shock you. To say hardly anything does anymore is silly. Preteen & teens will most certainly find ways to shock you.
Since you are the author...How do the Shiller's do with their counseling children for drug abuse? Please read post #46 by TigersEye. He makes some very good points.
As for condoms I understand you saying the boys won't use them. However when my boys , the oldest now 30 years old came to me I knew he already had sex & I kept a box under the sink filled at all times. I tried the talks about no sex but I also knew that I had to do something & thats what I did. The pill isn't going to stop AIDS & STD's. I would hope that that school does have a health/sex awareness group being taught.
Personally I find this is not what I would want in my child's school. I would take my child out of there so fast. Your article should have been clearer on who is who. Sorry for the mix up. ~Pandora~
If you are not shocked by 11 year-olds having sex, you have become desensitized.
God help these young kids! The adults around them are certainly not.
