Quotes to Note |
|
The Parents Television Council, in late 2010, polled U.S. Teenagers, aged 13-18 and found the following:
61% would like to be virgins when they get married
82% believe God intended marriage to last a lifetime
79% have never had sexual intercourse
84% said they have never seen a pornographic movie or magazine
"Today's teens are seeing through the lies and deceit of pop culture pundits, but we must act together to help them follow their beliefs and resist premarital sexual activity."
Yet... 64 % of all TV shows contain sexual content -- the spectrum from flirting to intercourse, and
69% of teens watch MTV on a weekly basis; and 62% believe truth is relative...
It is "difficult for young people to resist the temptation of sexual activity in our media saturated society..."
If you are a neighbor, friend, relative, classmate, teacher, or co-worker tell the teens you know that THEY ARE WORTH THE WAIT!!
Encourage them to be modest in dress, and to Abstain to avoid the Pain!
With Sexual Abstinence, there are No Regrets.
As teens grow to understand the life-giving power of their sexuality, they will come to understand the power of the marriage bond, and the tremendous gift of family, which is the basic unit of civilization as we have known it.

AIDS in China Becoming Like AIDS in Africa
Gonorrhea Fights Back in the UK
AIDS IN CHINA BECOMING LIKE AIDS IN AFRICA. Chinese health officials say that the AIDS epidemic has jumped from its original demographic of homosexuals, IV drug users, and prostitutes to the general population, and it is now being spread mainly by heterosexual sex. An official from the Ministry of Health confirmed that 1% of all pregnant women in China have been diagnosed with the disease. "That is a very high percentage. It is a generalized epidemic," he said.

GONORRHEA FIGHTS BACK IN UK. Recent figures released by the Health Protection Agency show increased levels of penicillin and ciprofloxacin-resistant gonorrhea in the UK. Approximately one in five cases of the second most common bacterial std are resistant to the powerful antibiotics, and doctors have been advised to prescribe alternative medications.
Health officials warn that the disease often presents with no symptoms, especially in women, and can lead to serious conditions for men, women, and unborn children.
