We encourage kids to save sex until marriage. That, say experts, is a good thing. Almost one-third of them will have an abortion. In talking about abstinence we are awakening dreams in them. We are showing them that abstinence is a choice for life and that by saying no to alcohol, drugs and sex they are saying yes to life.
Teens can learn anything anytime through their friends, the Internet, movies and television.
Whoever reaches them first can determine whether they will abstain from sex or not. The best and most influential teachers of sexual morals, experts say, are parents. However, many Christian parents have sidestepped the task. In order for the teen to make and keep a vow like that the teen must have accurate information. If parents don't accept the responsibility of providing that information, the kids are not going to fulfill their vow.
