After nearly forty years of amoral sex education in schools, a new study reports that one in four teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease, STD. Our children have been exposed to sex education classes in public schools, taught by trained teachers and given full access to all the possible "safe sex" material known to man. Yet, all that seems to have happened is that they have lost their innocence and become diseased, some of which do not go away.
We live in a society that is over exposed to sex. It is in the video games and movies. It is in advertising and on billboards, in magazines and everywhere we turn. There is no escaping it. Their idols role models flaunt their sexuality and glamorize it. Even our politicians treat it as if it's not big deal.
School curriculum is less preventative instruction and more of a "how-to" manual. They are given condoms and shown how to put them on fruit. They are told about abortion and birth control. They know more about STDs than any generation in history. Yet, here we are today; one in four girls with an STD.
Why? There is one part of sex education that is missing. Where it is not missing, it is ridiculed, treated as ineffective and given the old "wink, wink", as if there is no way possible they could possibly follow its path. That missing component is abstinence and self-control.
The way sex has been taught to this point, treats it as an inevitability. We tell young people that we expect that they are going to have sex and want them to be responsible. Then, we are surprised at studies like this one and high teen pregnancy and abortion rates. Tell them they are animals and act surprised when they act like one.
What's wrong with teaching people to have some self-control? We make actions such as drinking and driving, theft, murder and assault crimes, expecting people to exercise self-control. Self-control is the most difficult thing we can do. It needs accountability and practice. But, it is very rewarding. So, why don't we teach them that?
I'll tell you why: If we teach them they must exercise self-control, we'd have to exercise it ourselves.
Our "just do it," microwave, I want it now society doesn't want anyone to tell us that what we want to do is wrong, so we don't want to tell others what is wrong. As long as no one is hurt, we claim, it's alright. There's a problem, though. Teens having sex is harming others.
It leads to a society that convinces girls that they should follow their "natural urges." We have girls that are acting like sailors on leave. They act like they are sex starved and that nothing matters but getting the next guy into bed. They have competitions to see how can have the most guys by the end of the semester. They act as though there are no emotional attachments. But nothing could be further from the truth.
We are producing girls, and teens in general, that are not only diseased, but emotionally scarred and suicidal. The number of young girls attempting suicide is growing. Psychologists claim that the number is reflective of those that are sexually active. Suicide attempts by girls that have had abortions have been brushed over for years by the MSM and the industry. But, we don't want to tell them it's wrong.
So, since we don't want to exercise a little self-control ourselves, we are placing our children on the alter of "if it feels good, do it" and plunging the knife into their hearts. We are sacrificing our children so that no one will have to feel "uncomfortable." I hope we can live with ourselves for it.
