Scarleteen

Please consider making a donation to help Scarleteen alive! I just donated $25 to the cause because I believe in promoting sexual education for teens that is grounded in being realistic and healthy. From the site:

Honestly, it makes us proud to know that we’re helping to educate teens and young adults about sexuality so that they can question the incompleteness of the sexual education they’re given in the schools, and so that they can make their own decisions in the face of the “just say no” rhetoric that attempts to remove not only choice but serious evaluative thought about sexuality from teenagers’ lives. We don’t advocate sexual activity for teenagers at Scarleteen. In fact, we tell teens on a daily basis that simply NOT having or doing a particular kind of sexual activity is an available option, and that when they are feeling pressured, hurt, or confused, the best decision to make is no decision at all: the decision to just not go there right now, and simply not have to deal with it until they’ve learned more and had more of a chance to figure out what they really want. It’s not a matter of morals, it’s a matter of self-protective common sense.

Amen! Again, even $1 makes a difference.
