AEF offers education that evolves as our children grow. Teach teenagers about the dangers of under-age alcohol consumption.
Alcohol consumption can cause confusion, impaired senses, unconsciousness and coma.
Set the Scene: An underage, drunk teenage girl at an unsupervised party. Not wishing to engage in sexual activity, is passed around a room full of boys with raging hormones. She never says no and can't quite distinguish just how many of her male peers are involved. A few weeks later she is ill. Sick at the sight of things and nauseaus at their smell. Her mother suspects the worse and it is. At 14, her daughter is pregnant. Who's to blame? A teenage girl for attending the party? The teenage boy for taking advangtage of the situation? Or the parents for not warning all minors of the dangers of alcohol consumption?
As always, each challenge, is one I not only vow to take, but solemly do so each and every month. My daughters have yet to reach teenage-dom. But my son is of the perfect age for this talk! Work and driving will soon be two priveldges he is to partake in. With these new milestones come different freedoms.... Time this education evolves. Time for another teen talk!!
Remember---
1 in 4 girls/1 in 6 boys will be the victim of sexual assault before their 18th birthday.
Child sexual abuse is a senseless crime. One that is avoidable. Yes it is real, but it is not incurable. The solution resides with each of us. Spread the word. Take the challenge. Become aware. Let others know of your knowledge. Happy May
