Time to step up to the plate, parents

A parent recently sent me an link to an article and news clip from goodmorning America. It's about how teens are viewing oral sex as no sex at all. It's a very acceptable thing to do among teens right now. On top of that, there are teenage girls actually getting paid for sexual acts, taking off clothes, etc. I am not even talking about inner city kids...I am talking about wealthy affluent community kids. It's always been bad, but it's getting really bad.

My fear is that by the time students get to high school, it's too late! With each day, I feel that middle school ministry is getting more and more vital so I am working to do my part. Honestly, I think high school is the new college and middle school is the high school. The girl in the goodmorning america video is 14.

This is stuff is happening at your kids school and maybe to your kid. Even if it's not happening to your kid, they know someone that's doing it. It's vital that parents do not choose to bury their head in the sand as so many do. Who is going to educate these kids? Who is going to tell them that oral sex is sex? Who is going to define prostitution for them? Who is going prepare them for the battle of pornography? The church? Yes. Parents? Absolutely. High school is too late for the sex talk. Middle school might be too late. What are you afraid of? It's your kids life. Step up to the plate and have the talk. It's seriously time. Christian school? I don't care. Yes, even you.
