This week, a pregnancy counselor named Helen Rossi came to St. John Eudes to teach the eighth grade boys and girls about safe sex and the problems that unsafe sex can cause. She started off by saying the basic facts of sex. Then she showed us videos of embryos and cute pictures of babies in their mother's womb. But then, Mrs. Rossi showed us a depressing video about women talking about their abortion fifteen years after they had it. The women vividly describe the process. It made me feel sad for the women and their unborn children. The video was supposed to make abortion seem bad. And it certainly is bad. Next, she showed us a video about a boy named Jeremy who got his girlfriend pregnant. It completely ruined his life. Jeremy was a Senior in high school, but due to his complete devotion to his son, he never graduated. Jeremy did not want to be like his father, who left him when he was a baby. So he kept the baby and stayed with him. His girlfriend however, did not. She left Jeremy and he was left to care for his child with no money, no time, no education. It was very sad to see a nice man and his dreams get totally ruined because of unsafe sex. We learned that condoms frequently fail, and that birth control is pretty risky. A fun activity that we did was with a couple of plastic fruits. Helen Rossi tossed a couple of the fruits in the audience and we started passing it around. When it all ended, Mrs. Rossi announced that everyone that touched he pear, metaphorically caught aids. Everyone who touched the peach got Gonorrhea. The orange, Herpes. The exercise was supposed to explain how easy it was to spread STDs.
