Freedom To Succeed
"Why Sexual Abstinence? It's
the Law."
The Freedom to Succeed program is the second of three programs
geared to motivate teens to choose sexual abstinence as the best
lifestyle to help them reach their dreams and goals. Students
can see the three programs in any order. It is not necessary to
see Aim For Success first. The following outline requires at
least 60 minutes.

Discussion – Pregnancy and Child Support
Students will be challenged to consider the devastating consequence
of an unplanned teenage pregnancy, single parenting, and having to
pay child support. Who pays? How much? How long!? Abstinence =
Freedom.
Discussion - What is Sex?
Students will get a straight answer to the question “What exactly do
you mean by sex?” Do you mean sexual intercourse?
Is oral sex or other sexual behaviors considered sex? The
students will be surprised to hear that the law considers touching
sexual areas to be sex. Each sexual crime (as defined in your state)
is explained.
Discussion - Criminal Law
These crimes include a discussion concerning public lewdness,
indecent exposure, statutory rape, sexual assault, and aggravated
sexual assault.
Game - Guess the Age
Students play a game demonstrating how difficult it is to determine
with certainty the age of a teenager and the devastating legal
consequences of guessing wrong and having sex with someone underage.
Discussion - Sexual Offender Registration
Students learn about having to register as a sex offender, who,
what, how long, etc. Examples of actual teen sex offender
registrations are shown.
Discussion - Teen Dating Violence
Students learn to look for red flags in their relationships to help
them know if they are in an unhealthy relationship.
Students will learn how pornography can be unlawful. This section
explains laws regarding internet pornography. Pornography is also
dangerous and makes them more likely to commit sexual crimes than
teenagers who do not use pornography. Pornography also distorts sex
through focus on the self and robs you of the best, healthy sexual
relationship in marriage.
Discussion - Sexual Harassment
Students will be better equipped to recognize sexual harassment and
be taught what to do if they are a victim.
Game - Concentration Memory Game
The law expects you to remember 100% of its details. Abstinence
means you don’t have to worry if you remember all the legal details.
It guarantees freedom.
Concluding Discussion – The Best Protection
The
information from the program will be applied to the teenager’s life
when it comes to “the best protection.” The pill, condoms, oral
sex, and just sexual touching won’t protect you from legal
consequences. Only Abstinence gives you full protection from all of
the consequences. Abstinence = Freedom.
Survey
Each
student participates in a voluntary survey. The results are compiled
and sent back to your
