Day 29: X-ray(ted)

Ok so once again, I’ve changed the topic slightly but whatever, it’s my blog.

I couldn’t think if anything to do with X-rays so I want to look at something that has been bothering me for quite some time, and that is the fact that we have become squeamish about talking about taboo topics. I have always attempted to talk to the teens we work with about any topic they want to discuss and to open dialogue on those things that their parents are not comfortable discussing with them. Since I’ve been teaching Life Orientation I have realised just how uninformed teens can be. This should not be the case.

If you have heard my testimony or have been following this blog, you would know that I focus on relationships quite a lot. I do this because I could have used some of this information when I was younger and I am hoping that this blog reaches those who ordinarily would not go to anyone for advice on these topics. I also have a pretty firm stand on sexual relationships.

I know what it is like to live struggling with lust. I know how it tears at your soul and makes you feel as if you are dirty and evil. I know how the world and your friends and your boyfriend will tell you that there is nothing wrong with it, you’re just experimenting. They are wrong. I cannot give you a list of steps detailing how to overcome lust, but I can help you get through it, I can give you some tips, I can talk about the topic no one else wants to. If you’re a male and reading this, my husband can do the same for you.

What I’m trying to say is that sex and lust are dangerous things to play with and that if you want to ask any questions, contact me here. If you know me personally, drop me a message. Don’t continue to hold on to the guilt and secrets. And don’t be afraid to ask questions. I’m here for you.
