One of the few clear voices on this subject.: This book is outstanding. Those who are putting up negative reviews are doing so only because they are part of the establishment that wants to keep the physical and emotional consequences of teen sex under wraps. The ultra-leftists have taken over the politics of sex and forced it on American youth. Traditionally in America sex outside of wedlock was considered a moral wrong. This view was not reactionary or a product of the "New-Right." It was firmly established as the foundation of American life from well before the founding. As recent as the 40s and 50s American's did not have the view that sex outside of wedlock was okay. I have a copy of a 1944 War Department Pamphlet called Army Life, it was given to all American Soldiers serving in the Armed Forces at that time. There is a portion of the book about Sex as a moral matter. It says... "Many people like to seem "Smart" or sophisticated when they talk about sex. You may sometimes listen to them, even let them influence you--but you know the truth: sexual intercourse without marriage is everywhere condemned as WRONG. No arguing around the point alters this, or the fact that you know it. You want to be able to like and respect yourself. If you persist in doing things which you know are wrong, YOU pay the consequences." How far have we fallen in 50 years? The sexual revolution took hold in the 1960's. The cowardly hippies who were too scared to serve their country became a political movement. The problem was the majority of America did not agree with their views as evidenced by the 1972 Landslide Election of Richard Nixon. The Radicals realized that they could not change America over night, so they infiltrated the institutions that most affect American Culture; The arts, The Media, and the Education system. Once entrenched in the educational establishment, they hippies began to indoctrinate American youth with their ideology of sexual promiscuity. Their ultimate targets are marriage and family life, because they understand that if they can destroy marriage, they can destroy western culture. Longtime National Gay and Lesbian Task Force policy director Paula Ettelbrick stated that she wants to: "radically reorder society's view of the family." In 1996, in the Michigan Law Review, David Chambers, a professor of law at the University of Michigan states: "By ceasing to conceive of marriage as a partnership composed of one person of each sex, the state may become more receptive to units of three or more." These radicals don't just want teens having sex, they want all sexual scenarios legal and embraced by America. Beastality, Polygamy, Polyamory, Incest, Sex between Children and Adults, these are the goals of those who are behind the sexual revolution, their ultimate goal being the destruction of America. Meg Meeker addressed both the emotional and physical consequences of teen sex in this book, consequences that those on the left don't want Americans to hear. The Barbarians are inside the gates folks, and I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Horrible book, would give it a 0 if i could: Horrible racist author(Meg Meeker)who is homophobic. Why read this book when you can just talk to your kids? Im a teenager (16)and i would rather my parents talk to me than read this horrible trash. This woman has some serious issues, "if you give teens condoms then you dont care about them" is just one of many things she says witch is not true. Be open with your kids provide them a safe and secure place where they feel they can talk freely. Teens have hormones, things happen, would'nt you want your kid to be protected? yes STD's are out there but so are condoms help keep ure kids safe talk to them they will listen.
Good read: I really enjoyed this book. This book does contain some of Meeker's opinion but it also contains many footnotes from studies and what not. It is well documented and the footnotes I have followed back to the source are correct. As some of the other reviewer noted the numbers are staggering sober. I hope people can realize that sex is killing our kids and nation.
Finally, the facts.: As a teacher who works with both junior and senior high aged kids, I have longed for a book that tells the hard truth about teenaged sex. Finally, I have found it. This isn't just a book for parents, this is a book that kids should at least be exposed to. They deserve the truth that we have failed to give them. For too long we believed we were protecting them by giving them birth control and they believed us (as an establishment). Now we are just beginning to glimpse the true scope of the problem that will face us over the next 5-20 years and beyond if this situation isn't addressed and reversed. I encourage parents and teachers who want facts that will stand up and speak for themselves without being preachy - get this book. Read it. Pass it on to your friends, talk about it with your kids and your students, carry it with you on the subway. Are the numbers harsh, do the stories turn your stomach? Yes, this book is not a 'fun' read. And good for Meg Meeker.
Facts or Political Correctness....you decide....: Reading the reviews was interesting to say the least. Whether you are a parent or a teen, right or left you cannot fight against the facts. And what are the facts? As a health teacher for the last 24 years in a public high school in New York I can safely say that the information Mrs Meeker gives is in fact irrefutable. She is correct when she tells the reader that there is no such thing as "safe sex" unless it is with an uninfected partner and you remain monogamous for life "historically we called that relationship marriage". She is also correct when she tells us that condoms are next to worthless when it comes to STD's like HPV the number one STD in America that kill thousands of women every year in America not counting the thousands of early hysterectomys. It seems that the negative reviews come from people who do not want to be confused with the facts but simply want to call Mrs Meeker "names". Hurray for a refreshingly honest look at a difficult subject. She tells the reader how it is.
