A new pamphlet by the U.K. government is instructing parents to avoid any reference to morality when talking to them about sex. Rather, the pamphlet directs parents that any sex talks should be kept “light” to encourage teenagers to form their own views.The pamphlet is named "Talking to Your Teenager About Sex and Relationships", and it will be distributed in pharmacies in the U.K. starting next month.
The following is one line from the new pamphlet.....
“Remember, though, that trying to convince them of what’s right and wrong may discourage them from being open.”
So should we teach our teens the difference between right and wrong?
Where has a generation of amoral sex education gotten us?
Let's take a look at some statistics.....
*In America today, one out of every four TEENAGE girls has at least one STD.
*For American teen girls who acknowledged being sexually active, the rate of infection is 40%.
*According to a study by the Health Department of New York City, 26 percent of all residents of New York City have herpes.
*In another new federal survey, more than 50 percent of both male and female 15 to 19 year old teenagers admit to having engaged in oral sex.
But some of the most shocking statistics come from a survey of American teen girls that Tyra Banks conducted.
More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey last summer on the website of "The Tyra Banks Show", and the results were absolutely shocking:
*On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.
*14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.
*52 percent of the respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.
*One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.
*24 percent of respondents with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.
*One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.
*One out of three respondents admits to having tried drugs.
So why is this happening?
This is what happens when a nation rejects God.
The only hope for you and your family is Yahshua (Jesus) the Son of the Living God.
This world does not have a bright future for you. But through the Messiah you can find forgiveness of sins, eternal life and more love and purpose than you could possibly imagine.....

This is a very British thing ( hope). Apparently morality is "culturally loaded" so the official advice always seems to be to avoid any reference to morality when talking to children about ANYTHING. What this means in practice is that no one in any sort of authority ever says anything is wrong or right anymore. No wonder many of the kids are confused.
