Help Support Scarleteen - You Know You Want To...

Posted on 5:52 AM by Unknown
Many non-profits need help but folks we gotta pony up for this one. If you can't relate to being a teenager and trying to find out about sex, I don't know what more I can tell you. I was cruising through BitchPh.D and she had a post about Scarleteen needing funds.

I have two and half minutes to convince you.

Watching porn is not sex education. There are questions that need to be asked and answered. Scarleteen does that and puts those questions into context for teens.

They need to move to providing mobile content. They need money to do that and other stuff, about $24,000 but let's round up and make it an even $50,000

Parents not only do not understand but they do not communicate the hard stuff. I leave you with two sentences that constituted my sexual education from my mother:
  • Keep your legs closed.
  • Don't come home pregnant.
Go on, scoot.
