Go Amy Johnson! She actually got around to a more sensible part of her “sexually savvy” strategy: know the risks, make a plan and be careful. Thank you, Amy. But she left out the part that goes: “Teens, you really shouldn’t be behaving like married adults here. You’re brains aren’t even finished developing, but if you insist on pursuing this foolish course, at least learn about the risks and take these precautions. You’ll have a higher chance of being physically protected, but all bets are off when it comes to your heart and soul in future relationships.”

Too bad her column couldn’t have been presented all at once. Her message is more balanced with the whole thing in place. Yet beyond myself, I bet all sane parents and probably the entire church-going population in this city would say it differently, but I’ve got to give credit where it is due.
