This event will be held at Fountain St. Church from 5:30-7:30 pm on Thursday, June 9, 2016.

 

Let’s Talk About Sex takes a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality affect today’s teenagers. We live in a society that uses sex to sell everything from lipstick to laptops. Yet fear and silence around sex and sexuality also permeate our culture. Teens are paying a terrible price for this confusion with unintended pregnancy, STDs, and even HIV. And American taxpayers are paying billions to treat these entirely preventable problems. The film compares the education and attitudes of American teens and families and explores how other nations are succeeding at protecting adolescent sexual health while the U.S. is failing.

This FREE showing will be followed by a panel discussion with Planned Parenthood’s teen advocates, parents, teachers, and Fountain Street Church community members.

Free snacks will be served.
