Our educational system is seriously in trouble in many, many places. Couple that with home situations that are far from what they ought to be. The church tries, but we can only do so much. We cannot force these kids to come in. What is left?

I would think that some of the pregnant girls and teen mothers drop out. This is actually a small school comparatively since it is combined middle/high. I think even with protection available most kids don't/won't use it. Sadly I think some parents try to do a great job, but kids are bombarded with sex everywhere. And many confuse sex with love, just like some adults.

Yeah bi-sexuality seems to be the latest trend for girls and guys alike. I was reminded of this recently when I was doing some computer repair on the side for AT&T. It was a nice Christian family, and the oldest daughter (15) was sitting in the room on one of her dad's laptop checking her social networking sites. She started telling me about all the requests she gets from other girls that she doesn't know asking if she's bi. When she answers no they move on.

Like others have said, it's more like a fad than anything else. Sadly, it's a fad that can really mess you up.

I have a friend who works with HIV patients and he is always saying that now kids have sex like shaking hands. Neither of us are old (30), so it's not like we're going off on a rant about the good old days. It's just the way things are.

And let's not forget transvestism. That's the latest latest fad. I have one friend now who's decided that she was really supposed to be a guy. She was showing me all the videos other "trans" people are posting on Youtube about their decision. I guess their counselors are encouraging them to make videos explaining their decision to their friends and family.

Kicking off the "No Baby!" campaign!

Probably spending millions to prevent 10-20 births a year.

So, is everyone of these pregnancies God ordained where He "opened the womb" to His blessing?


Or, does sex simply result in babies?

and then there is what the kids around here call "Christian Sex". They think that because they don't really complete the act, that makes it acceptable in the Christian sense. I've heard of Sunday School teachers who have told their students that that is totally acceptable.

Now I have never heard of this. LOL

Many people I've been around assumed anything beyond hand holding was fornication!

And heard from others that the only purpose for sex was procreation..........

There is actually a particular "type" of sex that the kids call Christian Sex, but I'm not sure how free we are on here to describe what I'm referring to.
