This is what I did - to add to my Teen Pregnancy Essay:

You're a Stick of Gum

In Slate Magazine, writer Amanda Hess examines the value of  Abstinence-Only Sex Ed programs in our public schools.  According to her, these programs use shame as a learning tool.  In effect, they try to frighten teenagers instead of educate them.  She quotes Elizabeth Smart: “I remember in school one time, I had a teacher who was talking about abstinence,” Smart told the panel. “And she said, ‘Imagine you’re a stick of gum. When you engage in sex, that’s like getting chewed. And if you do that lots of times, you’re going to become an old piece of gum, and who is going to want you after that?’ Well, that’s terrible. No one should ever say that. But for me, I thought, ‘I’m that chewed-up piece of gum.’ Nobody re-chews a piece of gum. You throw it away. And that’s how easy it is to feel you no longer have worth. Your life no longer has value”  ( par. 5).  I understand the writers point. Comparing a young woman to a piece of gum shows a lack of respect and understanding for today’s generation. When you remove the respect from the classroom, you also lose the message. No one is going to learn much of anything.
