Sex"U"ality: Identify Yourself!
Recommended audience: Youth 7th grade to College
Recommended group size: Small to extremely large groups
Recommended time allotment: 60 minutes
In these presentations, David gives a basic, yet highly
IMPACT•ful overview of
the benefits of abstinence until marriage and the truth behind the culturally
glamorized alternatives. As he tackles head-on the tough issues of teen sexual
activity, media influence and self-concept, David skillfully dismantles several
of the prevailing false perceptions that pertain to each one. His message is sure
to leave his audience enriched with a renewed self-concept, empowered with accurate
information and inspired to either start or continue to make positive life choices.
Years of working with youth have taught David that it is suicidal to just stand
before kids and simply point the finger at what they are doing wrong. David’s
philosophy is that the most effective way to reach a young person is to skillfully
devalue their negative conduct by adding value to the person. Be sure to check
out our I.D. product line at
www.FrontlineGear.net to view the pledge cards that
are read at the end of every presentation as a challenge to the boys to represent
themselves as young men and the girls to represent themselves as young ladies.
