* Teen pregnancies cost U.S. taxpayers over 9 million dollars a year.
* Everyday in America, 10,000 kids catch an STD.
* Everyday in America, 2,400 teen girls become pregnant.
* One in three American girls become pregnant in their teens.
* Everyday in America, people are fighting to prevent these tragedies of youth.
“LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX takes a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality affect today’s teenagers. We live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from lipstick to laptops. Yet fear and silence around sex and sexuality also permeate our culture. Teens are paying a terrible price for this confusion in unintended pregnancy, STDs, and even HIV. And American taxpayers are paying billions to treat these entirely preventable problems.” – the website
We here at Advocates For Youth had a chance to see this wonderful film, “Let’s Talk About Sex,” in September while we trained for our advocacy work. It’s absolutely fabulous! However, it is very shocking to some. This movie shows conversations between parents and their kids, and what the parents say just might bother you a little. Abstinence pledges and rings? Saving sex for marriage? It’s all here. But while the parents try to imagine their little girls and boys being “good,” what are these kids really doing? How do we, as youth, view sex and how does that affect us?
I highly recommend you tune in to this on Saturday. You definitely won’t regret watching this mind-blowing conversation starter. Five out of five stars!
