| Privileges come with responsibilities. | |
| Every person grows and develops at their own natural rate. There is no one right time for the changes of puberty to occur. | |
| From the ages of 10 - 16, you should expect to see peers in all different stages of physical maturity, and show and understanding of the feelings each person may be going through as a result of the timing of these changes. | |
| Sexual intercourse should wait until a person's lifelong partner has been chosen. (When intercourse is discussed in class, it is mentioned as an act of love between husband and wife.) |
| Being physically able to have children does not mean a person is emotionally or mentally ready to have a child. |
| No one needs to get HIV if they do not do drugs or have sexual intercourse with anyone other than their mate for life. |
| One of the strongest loves in the world is between parent and child. Your parents love you dearly and want the best for you. |
