Parents Must Teach Correct Principles. Please, if you have been lax in your parental responsibilities or you feel inadequate to fight this battle, do whatever it takes to arm yourselves and your children with better tools to win this war. Whether you like it or not and whether or not you are prepared for it, you and your children have been drawn into this fight by society.

Parents Face An Uphill Battle. We may be responsible parents and teach our children correctly but they still fall victim to society. Children become victims because they were not strong enough to resist the compelling influences that besiege them. Also, they may not fully understand that this is a war for their right to be happy and to be safe from the harmful repercussions that follow life’s challenges.

Why Are We Surprised? First let me talk to the parents and then to the teens. I do this so parents and teens can better understand each other and appreciate how I can help you in your discussions about sex. We will do our youth a great injustice when we neglect to teach them that their outside appearance does not represent who they are internally. Society teaches them the opposite: that, if they are not beautiful, they will get no where in life. They need to know that this is a lie and that their character is what people admire about them.

Why I Have Taken Up The Challenge. All of the situations discussed in this series are reasons for why I have taken it upon myself to write about the challenges Parents and Children face today, especially teens and tweens. I want to help parents and teens see that there are alternatives to doing what they know in their souls are wrong but society is telling them are right.

When we remove chastity, morality, and Godliness from society, what’s left? That’s why society has NO chastity, NO morality, and little or NO godliness. That’s also why we have such a high rate of teen pregnancy, the high cost of supporting young mothers and their children, and the high rate of sexual diseases transmitted in society.

Some children are taught that sex is bad, that those who do it without being married are nasty and will go to hell, and that sex is something they should not talk about with their parents because it is embarrassing.

Other children are taught that sex is a gift from God and that it is to be reserved for marriage. Children are told that waiting to have sex is good because it celebrates their union in marriage.

Unfortunately, most children are taught at a very young age that sex is nothing special, that it’s just part of life and of growing up. It’s no wonder then, that children talk about sex and being sexy (even as young as kindergarten).
