Have Sex with “I”?

On 31 Jan 2009, The Straits Times published an article that reported on a worrying uptrend of underage sex and rape cases.
In it, it was cited that rape cases in 2008 shot up to 109 from 72 in 2007.
There was also a sharp rise in girls below the age of 16 having sex, with 310 cases in 2008 compared to 216 the year before.
That’s a 51% rise in rape cases and a 44% increase in underage sex in just the span of 1year! It’s no wonder the police has cited the trend as ‘worrying’ in the same article.
Though sexuality education has been running in schools for a good 8years, it seems like our next generation of children have not responded very well to the message our educators have been trying to bring to them.
This can be clearly understood when we consider
- the extremely alluring nature of the subject matter, sex
- the increasing influence, propagation of the media and internet
- the lack in sexuality knowledge of educators and adults
- the gap in the ways we educate - we failed to connect, convict
The problem is not that there isn’t sexuality education. The main problem is our sexuality education has failed to connect and convict.
To reach a wired generation s
uch as these, a radical message is needed to challenge our youths to buck the worrying trend of the globalizing world. To do this, our message must be real, engaging, convicting, and worthy of them to follow. Such a delivery can only be achieved by experts who have the necessary knowledge as well as developed the know hows to connect and win these youths over.
Watch sex education explode and come to life with Wonderfully Made’s Roadshow – “Have Sex with “I”?“. Standing out from just a focus on AIDs, this roadshow aims to bring thorough awareness on pre-marital sex and all the consequences that comes along with it, through fun, engaging and dynamic delivery. Watch the safe sex myth broken and see how our children can be convicted to live lives that safeguard themselves and their future family.
Let’s not bore our ‘MTV generation’ children with cliche presentations and answers. Let’s not lose our status as educators whom our children can trust to really impart and impact them with a better life than what the ‘sexualized’ media and world, has to offer.
