Relationships

When talking about relationships, don’t say they can’t, but talk to them about appropriate boundaries and having respect for themselves.  The missing ingredient in these virgin pacts is that they are not even aware that other forms of sex are still sex.  The other thing is that sex programs should really be about talking to kids about self-respect and teaching them to be empowered by doing things in their community.  If we taught kids to have respect for their bodies and gave them things to do in the community, made them feel intelligent enough that they could go to college, sex would not be so strong for them.
