Let's start shall we.Recently Yu announced that they are starting a new project to teach all us nice teenagers (actually I'm basically an ex teenager) sex-ed.
MAZEL TOV!!!!
Sorry, it's a long overdue subject. When I hear that girls from my area are typical "ny sluts" (and no I am not making this up) becuase they behave badly with thier serial boyfriends, or that rumors where flying that someone from my grade lost thier virignity at my senior dinner (no kidding), it's time for a sex ed program.
Actually it's long overdue.
I really hope they cover everyting, from why seriality is bad (how about do you grow emotionally from the relationship and what that means) to real sex ed stuff (if you can't dissuade at least make sure they also don't put themselves at risk).
I'm hoping that if they approach it with some modicum of modern respect, we'll get a nice overview on both the technical (ok that sounds wrong but I mean like medical) and emotional; side.
ANd I hope they find out that the old message isn't jiving becuase it has to be presented as a matter of choice, like all mitzvah observances. Especially in this day and age. You can't force me to be religious, you have to explain to me why it is fun.
So unless you can be relevant: don't bother.
I also would really liek to see presenting a variety of how it all turned out in the shomer versus not shomer debate (it may be a mitzvah, but that doesn't stop the deabte)
Also degrees of shomerness, and how that affects everything. I don't like the immature attitude associated with it, keeps the people learning about immature.
Just do something really adult and discussion oreitned damn it!!
I realized this is really free-flowing, i apoligize about that.
