They also assumed that condoms would protect them from disease and pregnancy and that having sex had no implications for their future adult lives.
Kathy said, "She's trying to keep a boyfriend." They assumed that having sex was a way of holding onto a boyfriend and showing love for one another. I asked them why they considered her a slut, and Michelle responded: "She has slept with at least eight guys already, and she is easy." I asked them to think about why this girl is so promiscuous.
I started these discussions when I accidentally overheard my sister Kathy, and her friend, Michelle, talking about a "slut" that one of their friends was dating. Also, she is a virgin (her friend is, too), so I wanted to show her how important it is to hold onto that purity. I felt that it was my responsibility to pass the philosophy of abstinence on to my sister because I know that she will not get it in the "going to do it anyway" program that is used at her high school. Sure, I have always known what the word meant, but I had never considered it an option for me, until recently. I wanted to inform my 14-year-old sister Kathy about something that I unfortunately just began to take seriously: abstinence. I recently completed a graduate course in character education in which we were required to carry out an "action project." For my project I chose to use character-based sex education to try to instill in my younger sister and her friend the self-respect, self-control, and courage needed to lead moral, fulfilling, and healthy lives.
