What a mess humanity's immorality has created; what a world our children are set to inherit from us.

Whose Side Are You On?
By Nick
Bottesi
One day this past spring, a guest speaker came
into my 9th grade gym class to talk to us about the facts of
life. Basically, she said you can have
sex whenever you want as long as you have protection and know about sexually
transmitted diseases, and how to “be safe.” I found it strange how she just came in to the
classroom, did not say “Hi” or “Hello” or “My name is…” She just started talking about sex.
She told us all about the different methods
of artificial birth control, and encouraged their use. Her talk made me feel awkward and from the
comments I heard during and after her presentation, many others felt awkward,
too.
In my opinion, nobody wanted to hear this
talk and nobody liked this talk, but we had to listen. I only listened to so
much because she was annoying and had weird demonstrations.
For instance, she made a sperm sock by rolling up a sock, and then she gave it a tail. I wanted to tell her what I thought, but I didn’t want to get suspended.

On day two we learned more about STDs. She needed some volunteers for a skit, and
for no apparent reason she chose me. I played Batman and had to explain to the audience
how I had sex with Catwoman, then she left me, and I never trusted another girl again. After the skit she showed
us some messed up pictures of what STDs look like.
Everybody was kind of grossed out by her entire talk. Nobody agreed with her, either; after she was finished speaking, I heard students say things contrary to what she taught, like “You probably shouldn’t have sex until you’re older.” After a horrible talk and those gruesome pictures, I felt like I needed to throw up. I wish I hadn’t signed the papers to hear the talk.
However, there is hope! One year before, I
had gone to listen to a talk about sex, but this one was different. The speaker
was Pam Stenzel, and she was way different. She is pro-life, advocated
abstinence until marriage, valued purity, and handed out pamphlets that had
dignified, useful information that helps young people. She talked about how sex is holy and it
should be kept holy, within marriage. I agree with her and her message. She told
the truth about how sex outside of marriage, artificial contraception, and
abortion harm people. Not only that, she came across
much happier than the other speaker and seemed more enthusiastic, like she
wanted to be there.
I have been to two different talks about
sex. One I hated, and one I enjoyed. The
comparison is that one lady seemed sad, was rude, her message lacked morality, and
it seemed like she wished she didn’t have to be there. On the other hand, the
pro-life abstinence speaker was nice, had manners, was interesting, told the
truth, and seemed like she wanted to be there. Whose message do you think is
pleasing to God? Whose side are you on?
Because I know which side I’m on.
