[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were out of town and missed it. Wow. I objected to a lot of what it said. The push, push, push towards being gay was obnoxious. The assumption that at 10, they were having sex. So much I am glad my kids missed. Did not want to make a big production of opting out.[/quote]

The comment about a push toward being gay is false. There is barely talk about being heterosexual. Knowledge is power people. Empower these young kids as early as possible. When girls (and boys) aren't spoken to about guarding their bodies very early on they get the sense that it's an uncomfortable topic. [b]When a girl is uncomfortable speaking up about sex she is more likely to give in to a boy's sexual advance because she hasn't been taught how to confidently say no. Not to mention the potential consequences of saying yes.[/b]

We have a daughter in middle school and we are a very conservative family, no Facebook, no smart phone, or unsupervised internet use. But we understand that we can't always be with our daughter. With that in mind it is important to me that she understand her body is a precious gift, she only gets one and that she must treat it with respect or no one else will. I carefully explain that many other people aren't respectful of their bodies, either because they simply don't choose to be or they don't understand their worth. That's how we started the STD discussion and the importance of abstinence. Hard truth but the truth none-the-less.[/quote]
