The discussion of pro-choice vs. pro-life and abstinence are the discussions of the past. The discussions of the future should not be about whether to have a child or not or whether to not have sex but it should be centered around have a more rounded sex education discussion that exposes the ill wills of having unprotected sex and how so many youth America have the highest rate of HIV/AIDS cases reported. Now that is reported because many people don’t report their cases of the diseases out of fear and shame and they continue to stay sexually active. While some youth talk about that will never happen to them but if they see real youth talking on video tapes both young boys and girls expressing to their fellow youth how they got HIV/AIDS than it might encourage our youth to have protected sex or better yet for them to practice abstinence. However by simply having the same old discussion that is bogged down in simply telling kids and youth not to have sex is not enough.
We have not learn anything yet because if we did than we would understand that out youth do the opposite of what we say and it has been like that for years. We have to have real sex education talk with our youth that is about putting birth control vs. abortion. Tell our young ladies about the benefits of having birth control and actually using it to prevent from getting pregnant. Sex educational instruction needs to be more well rounded as well as enticing as well as perhaps graphical to a degree to show young ladies how to put a condom on right and showing the graphical as well as sometime horrors of teenage pregnancy and the pitfalls from giving birth and how painful it is as well as the struggles with school and life. Showcasing the opposite side of the spectrum to man in terms of being a father so young and how to take responsibility for the child in terms of being a provider and how that can be difficult while still being a student as well.
Our youth to get exposed to sex education in the 21st century and not the 18th century because there are breed new sexually transmitted diseases out there that are curable if treated quickly and some that are incurable. Sex education 21st century needs to expose our youth particularly the females to the heartaches of an abortion with an inside look in the procedural and how painful it can be depending on how many months a woman is pregnant. It needs to expose our youth to how getting an abortion can limit your possibilities of getting pregnant again or even the pitfalls of having miscarriages. It is clear that what we are faced today is a decision to either teach or continue to see our youth to go down the same path of disaster that so many of us probably headed on.
We need sex education 21st century to speak about how many young, talented and bright young men become trapped by young ladies who see opportunity and wealth and hope for a better future. Yes, the young men need to know about how so many dreams can be derailed by having a child early and why it is important to always use a condom no matter how fine the girl looks or how much she persists that she wants to feel you inside her. We must give straight talk to our young men about how so many young, talented and gifted athletes got caught up in baby mama drama that eventually lead into being a friend of the court and other legal troubles that made so possible big name colleges and small colleges deciding to not take a risk on them. We need straight talk when it comes to the ups and downs of sex in America and the world.
Sex education is no longer about pro-choice and pro-life or simply abstinence but it is about birth control vs. abortion because if young ladies use birth control than they won’t have to worry about getting pregnant 9/10 and if a young uses a condom on top of that birth control than that helps eliminate pregnancy altogether as long as the condom doesn’t broke which is a whole another discussion with the morning after pill. If we speak to youth about practicing safe sex or abstinence than we help them to avoid getting pregnant and help them to avoid coming into contact with a disease. In fact by taking to our youth about safe sex or abstinence, we help them to avoid a terrible nightmare that no mother or father should face and that is bringing a child into this world that could have HIV/AIDS cause one of their parents had it and passed it to the other parent during the sexual baby making that created the child. By not talking real about sex education, we could have a race of babies that will grow up with HIV/AIDS and then we will be calling this a medical epidemic. We can avoid that right here, right now by talking about the sex education in the 21st century and not in the 18th, 19th or 20th century. It’s a new age, so wake up America and wake world.
Sex education is a discussion that is needed in schools and at home. However videos with real testimonial of youth right off the streets or the block, the heartlands of America, and the slums or backdoors of America need to be included in the videos that can be seen by youth of all ages. If we continue to teach sex education as we always done, than we will continue to get what we always got which is little to nothing. Sex education is something that can’t be played with and simply included in a week period during health class but it needs to be a key essential to health class along with eating right and exercising. The reality is that we are at a point in America when simply giving the same old discussions and the same old rhetoric is not good enough. Telling our youth not to do something will not resolve the problems of high teenage pregnancy, high infant mortality rates, and high HIV/AIDS rates all across America and the world. Simply not getting tough on sex education will not resolve the issues our youth all across America and the world are facing. If we solve the problems America is facing than we can solve the problems that the world is facing when dealing with this issue.
No longer can we sit on the sidelines and not get tough with a moral issue such as sex education and expect for parents to do it when the impacts of not talking about sex education in school, in church and at home is drastic. Teachers, Preachers, and Parents all most shoulder the load of talking about sex education in a way that properly deals with the issue more fairly and gives our youth options to consider than just simple rhetoric like abstinence, be pro-life, or pro-choice. How can you be pro-life but frown upon a mother who is having a child out of wedlock, how can you be pro-choice when you frown upon those who say abortions are bad but all the while worshipping God and preaching the gospel as if you are sanctified above everyone else. This is why we have lost our moral way by not presenting our youth for real talk, real rhetoric and real biographical video of real life youth talking about living with HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy from the male and female perspective, teen abortions, and a host of other sex education topics that our youth need to hear today.
Now is the time to finally address sex education in the 21st century like it has never been discussed with no hold barriers, real stories being shared that showcase real thought provoking as well as stimulating testimonials like never before seen or heard of. This strategy will at least be a new approach to a problem that is not old but is a problem that changes with the dawn of each year but most importantly the dawn of any century. If we revolutionize the way we address and attack sex education now than imagine what we can do to save our youth from the pitfalls of parenthood and the heartaches and pains of so many youthful dreams deferred or delayed or even never sought after in order to raise and provide for a child first. Real sex education talk now or lose our youth forever and watch the future look a whole lot more gloomy and dark with each passing day we stall on the talk and stall on our time to act by putting our plan into action.
SAVE OUR YOUTH!
