What if teens have already engaged in sexual activity? Won’t abstinence education make them feel worse about themselves?
There are students who have already been involved in sex outside a faithful marriage relationship. Perhaps they feel that it is too late for them to change. They may have already had an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, an STD, or felt heartbreak and a loss of self-respect. We communicate hope to these students and let them know that regardless of what they have done in the past, it’s in the past. None of us can do anything about our pasts, but, we can do everything about our futures. They can become SECONDARY, or RENEWED VIRGINS. A secondary virgin is someone who makes a decision to start from this day forward, NOW, saving sex until marriage.
