What's up with society today?? Why is sex taboo to us??? Many of the problems that the community is facing today is because of our fear to speak about sex and how it can affect us. If we were brave enough to accept reality we could be avoiding many unnecessary issues. For example, if parents would just stop pressuring their kids to not have sex until marriage and educate them on safe sex, and if people were more open to the distribution of condoms and other types contraceptives, our teen pregnancy and STD rates would go down!! Studies have shown that kids that attend or have attended abstinence until marriage programs actually start having sex earlier than kids that attend safe sex education programs! My point is that this is reality and we have to accept it. We need to be more open minded in general. For sake of our community and generation, lets make a change! Encourage others to have safe sex! Be brave and take care of yourself!
