In Health class at Grace Academy, we are learning about sexually transmitted diseases. There are too many kids and adults who are tangled up with AIDS today. We are learning about making right decisions and keeping our bodies pure. At a Christian school we learn that the only way to stay pure is not give into the temptations. Sex is promoted through movies, television, radio, music and almost everything. People think it is OK to do bad things, but find themselves trapped, supporting a child and not being able to enjoy life.
Teens might like it at the time, but in the future they feel like a part of them has been taken away – like there is a hole that they could never fill. As a Christian, I don’t have to participate in bad things, or do what everyone else is doing. I believe that the only safe sex is no sex. The Bible talks about keeping your bodies clean, as a temple for the Holy Spirit. I also believe it is wrong to have sex before marriage. We should save true love for our true wife. It is also degrading to women when men could care less about the girl; he just has lustful desires for her. Too many young girls today are pregnant because of wrong decisions and that will live with them forever.
