Fairily, I say unto you...that Hada is trying to adjust to changes in sexual attitudes in this day and age. There was a place in times medieval when sex had it's proper timing. In having lived to see the timing changed has been most challenging, yes indeed. The concept of teen sexual activity brings fluttering
of the heart to reflect Hada's dismay over the reality. As I hover about this most modern society, and on landing to observe things, I find that California state government funds family planning IN the pubic high schools through community clinics that also provide vaccinations, TB tests, and physical exams. My word! But when I observed that the on-campus health service center I visited provided a bowl of condoms at the reception window for the grabbing, it messaged me that it messages the average 14 year old that sex is to be had NOW! It is yours for the taking! Does not sex lead to conceiving new humans? Hada recalls that on frequent occasion while clandestinely perched over the filing cabinet that overlooks the reception window, having observed groups of young boys and girls come into the clinic at lunchtime to grab a handful of the rubber things and out they go to resume their school day. What kind of lifestyle is the clinic supporting? Hada has hovered over such establishments only to note that when it comes to birth control services, no high school aged child is counseled to assess maturity and readiness for sex before being issued the birth control method of one's choosing. They are only given an education on the side effects and proper use of various products. Hada is dismayed that family planning services for teens may in fact be about making money without providing proper assessment of patients. Such laxity indeed gives me a headache! Furthermore, nothing is more disheartening than to know young teens take on the huge responsibility of having sex before pursuing their passions as in developing their strengths and talents. Hada advocates for postponing sex until one can explore and develop social skills in platonic relationships during high school and college, if necessary. And in those relationships to learn what Love is. Hada wants teens to examine their personal values related to sex, and postpone the act until a mutually respectful and loving relationship is established. Hada says, why not postpone until one is no longer a teen and comes to rent one's own apartment, or can afford a room at a cheap hotel. When one reaches independence and makes one's own money, it is a sign of maturity and if the social life was developed with sound judgment, then one may surely be ready for sex and the responsibility that comes with it, including the incessant need for a towel!
