SEXUALITY- CAN BE DISCUSSED AT FAMILY? - EDNA J. LUGANO - 2007-10-24 12:50:45
Are we discussing sexuality? One can say YES and another NO (but all are good answers). But I asked you again, ARE WE REAL DISCUSS SEXUALITY IN OUR FAMILIES? I MEAN WITH OUR KIDS? Parents/ guardians as we sat down silently, our kids have many an unanswered questions on sexuality matters and they are expecting us to answer. I know you knew that before but you are pretending that you haven't heard them! Do you know the consequenses of your silence????? One can simply say, "YES I talk to them". BUT WHEN DO YOU START TO TALK- After finding that they are misbehaving and start shouting to them? After them asking questions on sexuality and you keep giving them wrong answers? Like " this are adults pampers instead of telling them are tampons/ pads"
Its high time now we move from "DON'T s" statements and be honest to them. We are their caretaker, they need us in solving sexuality problems they do face by providing them with correct infromation. Let us be realistic, we were adolescent/ youth in one time in our lives, faced the same or more challenges like them. Do we still need them to suffer the way we suffered? I know you love your precious sons and daugthers, then practise safe behaviour to them by using a "PROTECTION". And the ONLY PROTECTION TOOL TO USE IS "TRUE AND CORRECT INFORMATION ON SEXUALITY ISSUES provided to them in a FRIENDLY MANNER".

Dear YMEP project National Coordinators & Site Coordinators, other staff at the implementing MAs Head Offices or Site Offices, Trainers; Teachers; Service Providers & Peer Educators trained in the project and any other person involved in or reached by the project we call Young Men as Equal Partners.
I warmly welcome you to the forum of the YMEP project homepage. The aim of this homepage and this forum is to facilitate an easy and continuous sharing of information and stories from the implementation of the YMEP project. It can be successes or constraints, examples of interesting non planned interventions or any other ideas or information you feel that other sites or other MAs can have use of. It can also be any information that you want to be published.
Please note that only serious and YMEP related contribution are published. All the contributions on this Forum are sent directly to the Webmaster at RFSU Head Office who will have to approve the contribution.
Currently there is only one forum, but would we find well used and for several different topics we could arrange separate forums for separate topics.
And, persons not directly involved in the project but visiting the homepage are of course also welcome to contribute.
Looking forwards to hearing from you. See it as a challenge to make your YMEP story visible.
