MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO THE PRINICIPAL OF YOUR SCHOOL, EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN FOR THE SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT OF YOUR STUDENTS.. ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER ONES.. AND SOMEHOW TRY TO GET APPROVAL TO START SOME TYPE OF PROGRAM/SEMINAR TO EDUCATE THE CHILDREN ABOUT PROMISCUITY..INSTEAD OF YOU DOING IT ALONE.. TALK WITH THE TEACHERS IN YOUR SCHOOL AND WITH OTHER TEACHERS IN YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT... FIND OUT IF THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND SEE IF MAYBE YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN CAN COME UP WITH MAYBE A DISTRICT PROGRAM TO HELP THE STUDENTS OF ALL RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS.. BUT MORE SO.. CONTACT THE PARENTS OF ALL THE STUDENTS.. TRY TO GET THE PARENTS TOGETHER ONE NIGHT AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT YOUR CONCERN, AND GET OTHER TEACHERS AND THE PRINCIPAL INVOLVED.... TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT YOU , THE PARENTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION THINK IS THE PROBLEM.. TRY TO DETERMINE WHATS CAUSING THE KIDS TO GET THEMSELVES INTO THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS.. MAYBE ITS TOO MUCH TIME ON THERE HANDS.. MY GRANDMOTHER ONCE TOLD ME THAT AN IDLE MIND IS THE DEVILS WORKSHOP... IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN MAYBE YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT OR PARTICULAR SCHOOL NEEDS TO INITIATE SOME TYPE OF AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR THE KIDS..... RECENTLY , IN MY HOMETOWN , THEY STARTED AN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM AT WHICH I VOLUNTEER AT.. THE KIDS ARE ENTERTAINED AND HAVE PLENTY OF RECREATONAL THINGS TO DO.. ITS HELD IN AN ELEMENTRY SCHOOL GYM HERE IN TOWN AND THE GYM IS A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR THE SCHOOLS (ITS NOT A TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM FOR THE KIDS TO ATTEND.. AND ALSO SOMETIMES WE OFFER TO GO AND PICK UP THE KIDS) WELL WITH THIS PROGRAM WE HAVE PLAY TIME AND WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL CHAT AND CHEW TIME.. WE GIVE THE KIDS INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL, TEACH THEM LIFE LESSONS, TALK KTO THEM ABOUT HOMELIFE AND WE DO EDUCATE THEM ON PROMISCUITY.. WE FEED THEM DRINKS AND SNACKS AFTER THE CHATTING AND SOMETIMES INFORMATIONAL GAMES WE DESIGN TO TEACH THE KIDS.. ALSO WE HAVE DIFFERENT "SESSIONS" WITH THE KIDS AND HAVE BEAUTY DAYS FOR THE LADIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT , WHICH WE HAVE AT THE END OF THE WEEK TO MOTIVATE THE KIDS TO CONTINUE COMING.. ALSO WE HAVE DANCES ADN OTHER PARTIES FOR THE YOUNG TEENS WHICH ARE SUPERVISED BY COLLEGE STUDENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS.. WE GIVE THEM SAFE AND WELL SUPERVISED PLACES TO HANG OUT...ITS WORKED REALLY WELL.. ALOT OF TIME IN "OUR" COMMUNITIES WE HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH PARENTS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE AT HOME WITH THEIR KIDS AS MUCH AS THEY NEED TO .. THE KIDS REALIZE THAT THEIR PARENTS ARE FREQUENTLY GONE AND THEY COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY CAN DO AS THEY PLEASE WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF AN ADULT.. IN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH THIS MANY TIMES I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF HAVIND ADULT SUPERVISION THAT THE KIDS NEEDED.. I AM SINCERELY SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU HAVE KIDS BARELY IN HIGH SCHOOL FATHERING AND MOTHERING CHILDREN.. I HOPES THIS HELPS YOU....i WILL KEEP YOU, YOUR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN MY PRAYERS..~MS. BABYJSC~

Yall, I am so sad and so angry at the same time. My 9th grader asked if she could talk to me in the closet. Mind you, if we go to the closet it is serious-very serious. I grabbed some tissue because tears are usually shed in the closet, prayers are made in the closet....Well, anyway she told me that she is 2 months pregnant. Sorors and sisterfriends this is the 5th young lady this month. Lets see.....one seventh grader, two eighth graders, one ninth grader and one 11th grader. Two ninth graders and one 10th grader and one 12 grader have already had babies. This is so depressing. I have a ninth grade (male) student who fathered two of the babies. He can barely read. We need to do something-but what! I talk and I talk and I talk. I mean I really get real with them. This is a rural area and there is not much to do. Why do they want these babies so desperately? They walk around so proud. I forgot that one of our 7th graders just had a baby about a month ago. She told me that her labor was not all that bad. She was out with the baby the next week. What is really going on! This troubles my soul. How can these young kids be mothers and fathers to their children when they are but children themselves? Yall, I am so grieved. The more I talk the worse it gets. The counselor and the local health department have been educating them about STDs, pregnancy, drugs etc... Maybe I need to just shut up!Does anyone have any suggestions? I am all ears!
