What does the future hold?
Put yourself in the shoes of a 15 year old growing up in India. Your teacher starts off class with the following story
Navin has just passed his SSC exams and will soon be in college. He has been dating a 15-year-old girl, Swathi , since his high school days. His parents do not mind him going out with her but are unaware that he has begun having sex with her. He is part of a gang of friends who also engage in sexual activities with their girlfriends
Soon after this, Swathi misses her period and they decide that she should have an abortion, if the pregnancy test is positive. Navin is madly in love with Swathi, but does not know that Swathi has been involved in another relationship before this one. ~ From the Introduction to Dare to be Different
The teacher asks you Do you think this could be happening in your school? Do you think that this is a common problem among young people in India? Do you think Navin and Swathi would have benefited if they attended a value-based sex education program in school?
These are the situations confronting teens in India. Fortunately, a value-based sex education program does exist.
