I would feel better knowing that it's NOT taboo to talk about it at church so that if for some reason, my children don't feel comfortable coming to me, at least they do have someone/somewhere biblical to go for advice.

We start our first club night next week. <br/><br/>I don't really remember anyone specific having the "Talk" at church or even that it was discussed by any of my friends. I definitely agree the "Talk" should be left up to the parents, but in this day and age, there needs to be discussion about it in Christian youth groups as well. I love Awana.

Sex was created by God for mankind and the enemy has hijacked it and made it seem vulgar. As I say this, and thinking that Christians should be able to take ‘It’ back, I don’t know if I could address it or not.

Great topic.

I think the most damage we do is acting like it's unacceptable behavior. I tell mine ALL THE TIME, it's not that sex is a bad thing, it's just not appropriate for young ages, unmarried people, etc. As a pregnant teen, I’m all about those conversations.

I remember we talked about EVERYTHING with our youth leader's wife. She even let me get my driving experience in her car- my mom wouldn't ride with us, and my dad was too busy with school and work.

I think it's good that they felt comfortable talking about it. It's so easy at that age to think it can't happen to you.
