CareNet's abstinence
until marriage program, Amplify Youth Development, spent one week at a local public high school, teaching its healthy relationship curriculum to the school's health classes. Amplify's lessons teach the importance of abstaining from sex by highlighting the physical, social and emotional benefits of abstinence and by teaching teens the steps to building healthier relationships. These testimonies from students verify the effectiveness of Amplify's program:
“I’ve completely changed my mind on sex. I used to think that waiting until marriage was unnecessary, but now I think it’s the best option.”
"I enjoyed this week. I appreciated how there was student interaction, instead of 'sit down, listen to me talk for 50 minutes.'"
"This week was very helpful for me. I've been in a few relationships and now I know what to do differently in future relationships."
"I enjoyed this week more than any other sexual education session I've ever taken. Andrea encouraged us and showed us in a clear, simple, relatable way why abstinence is the best option."
"This week helped me realize that you don't have to follow the school."
