Miranda,
Thank you for being such a caring young lady! Unselfish only later to find out you to have leukemia.
Remember - Your unselfishness to help someone else will not go un-noticed.
Sometimes we do not understand what our plan in life is, but it is later revealed in ways we do not understand, but the reward is something that is totally priceless.
God Bless You and Your Family and keep sharing your words, ideas and beautiful face to continue to inspire others.
Thank you for your comment, because you are right. There are some people that do not want to see their kids grow up, but that is part of life and that is Reality.
I challenge my kids if they do not believe the information I am telling them is incorrect then do the research themselves. If they have a question that I cannot answer then we try to find the answer together.
If my husband and I die today, who would raise our children if there is no other family? It is scary that they may end up with a family that may want to shelter them from how the World really is.
Yes, it is scary to think that our kids are exposed to anything That We May Not Think They Are Ready For, But do we All know what our children are doing when we are not around us?
I would like to think that what we have taught them and the speeches we give each year when school starts they take it in consideration & will remember their actions do have consequences at some point.
A close friend of mine shared some personal information about her niece. Her niece at the time was 15 got pregnant did not tell anyone til it was too late, to make a long story short the young lady had to have a C-Section because it was revealed she had Genital Warts, Herpes as well as Clymadia. ( The Dr. that delivered the baby informed her that he had to report her to the Board of Health because her sexual partners needed to be checked if not informed)
She will always be reminded of her wild sexual behavior not to mention the baby is constantly sick, which she seems as if she could careless. The child did not ask to be born; it is the choice that the young girl made.
So, like you said if they think this particular information should not have been presented, Best Wishes and Good Luck!! Like the saying goes if you're from Missiouri, then you must Show Me!! Now a days that should go for each of us, because anything that is going to harm me I want to know how and in what way so I can share it with my family no matter how scary it is.
Each day my children when ask how school was today, they tell me things that shock me and they are addressed right then and there. Our children are around other children that are exposed to things that your children may not even know about, but because it sounds so foreign to them thank God the ones that want to know the truth ask and those that don't ask because of whatever reason we need to tell them to talk to someone, because what you don't know can harm you if not kill you.
That was too cute...and you never know how God will give you what you ask for...if you ask you shall receive and it is up to you to receive what is bestowed upon you.
I want to First start by saying that if the school did handle the information sheet improper shame on them; however the fact that our schools have to inform our children about the dangers of STD's then I say SHAME on us as parents.
I did a presentation on STD's which was required for me to get credit for a course I was currently taken at the time & this presentation was for Adults and even I told them that it contain material they some may find Offensive or if they have a weak stomach they may want to excuse themselves,but the information was very informative if not educational.
Don't get me wrong some things may be too offensive for some people and they may even view graphic scenes differently then others, but from my understanding only 9 showed up to view what was considered too be TOO GRAPHIC.Why??? If I disgreed then I would have been first in line to see what my child was exposed to.
I remember not too long ago in the news there were concerns that Teens were now just doing Oral Sex, because they did not believe anything was wrong with it. Well, had they seen what certain STD's can do to your mouth & the fact that some stay with you for life then maybe they would have gave a 2nd thought on what he/she was doing.
The Parents that were so Worried about what their children saw did not show up what does that say about them? Parents need to be open with their children, then maybe they would not be so quick to do some of the things that they may have or maybe thinking about doing? I do understand that some things are age appropriate, but as parents we need to be proactive instead of reactive.
The presentation that I did for my adult peers I showed to my children before I presented to my classmates. They were shocked, they ask questions I provided them with pamplets & their concerns & questions were addressed by showing them the material that I had received from Planned Parenthood. Times are very different and will continue to be different. Kids are curious and when they did things as a toddler we correct it and we explain why they could not do that; why not so the same as they continue to grow into young men and young women.
I am not only concerned about my children but the children they are associated with as well. Parenting begins at home we should'nt have to depend on others to do our job.

I would have to admit that some things are not meant to be in the open. The fact that a Day Care was across the street was very inconsidered.
There is one thing Kraemer was right about the more people complain the more attention it draws to her and her groups cause.
Wow!! God Bless you Lai, you are a Strong Willed Young Lady with great things planned ahead. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Where is this placed located??? I have some shoes that I cannot depart with and Love to Death or should I say til they fall apart.
