We all know talking straight to teens can be tough. Sometimes subjects are simply too complex– the debate over homosexual marriage or transubstantiation for instance. Other topics make parents so squeamish they want to avoid them altogether– like drugs or sex education. But as Christians, it is vital we offer an alternative to the biased and spiritually-uninformed information promoted in our multicultural school systems today. It’s equally important that we impart a faith-based approach that our youngest family members can cherish in their hearts as they deal with problems inside their dramatically changing bodies and outside, as they encounter the harsh diversity of the adult world.
The video above, “Let’s Talk About Puberty!” is an incredible resource for parents looking to address their teen boy’s difficult period of growth. Homosexuality, peer pressure, loneliness and the importance of a decisive masculinity are just a few of the issues covered. It is a simple and direct film, yet the message is filled with the love of Christ. You can simply press play and let your children absorb the knowledge. Your boys will return to it again and again as hormonal and physical questions arise. Another resource for both boys and girls is, “Where do babies come from?” and while that video is a big dated, the information is as relevant today as ever.

Boys who aren’t taught about puberty and abstinence are more likely to develop psychopath tendencies.

1. I want to see that fact from a reliable source.
2. You better not be referencing “Abstinence Only” sex-ed, because I can damn well show you quite a number of cases where Abstinence Only has fucked people up somethin’ fierce.
and 3. The only way your factoid could be true is if you admitted that you had psychotic tendencies, rather than deny them.

Stevie, when you have children of your own you can attempt to tell others how to raise their children. Until then, shut up.

Other than the fact that you’re trying to push your faith onto others again or make it seem like only Christian parents raise children that are of any use to society (or something along those lines), this really isn’t much. All you did was link to a video and talked about it. If you’re trying to insinuate that people and parents of other religions don’t talk about puberty, then you’re digging yourself one hell of a hole of stupidity.

God bless you Brother Billimgs!
I struggled so this week with this very problem. My little angel Martha is turning 13 and I am having a dickens of a time keeping her from the boys! Boys in the garden shed! Boys in the attic! And all of them with the MASTURBATION! Why every time I turn around I find two boys sheepishly pulling up their pants. They don’t even know how to do it right. Always catch them holding each others penises! How silly. And that one filthy vulgar boy who lets the other boys put their penises in his mouth. I know Martha wouldn’t kiss a boy who had had a penis in his mouth. It just isn’t Christian. Martha never seems to be around when I find these boys. She is always off to the pond with her friend Ruth. They are inseparable. I think God for giving Martha a wonderful Christian friend. I worry about Ruth’s parents. They are some of those Jewish persons. I just don’t car much for anyone who can’t celebrate our Lord’s birth with a festive Santa with a heavy sack.

I believe that the best way to keep children from fornicating is to keep them out of the public schools, and ensure that they go to a private Christian school with high security. Make sure that this school does not teach them about fornication, or else they will be inspired to defy authority and give in to their temptations.
While Christians should not break the law in attempting to punish their children for their sins, the children should be known that in a society without treefrogs, their punishment for fornication would be death. I would recommend the most extreme punishment which the government would find acceptable; military school is a highly reliable option, while making them do manual labor until they reach legal adulthood is a highly ecumenical approach, as well.
As for masturbation, it will be difficult to stop altogether. There is debate as to whether Genesis 38:9-10 condemned masturbation or Onan’s failure to conceive a child with Er’s widow. However, we should keep reservations over masturbation, lest we err towards sin. Assuming the Scripture condemns masturbation, then it is obvious that the LORD will kill one for the crime. In order to reduce or negate the collateral damage which the LORD may cause in striking down one of these sinners, families should quarantine their masturbator until the practice stops. This will require direct observation of the child for approximately a whole day, as recommended in Leviticus 15:16-17; the child should also spend most of the day bathing, and kept away from any clothing possible. I would advise that particularly troublesome children be fitted with a bio-hazard suit, as you will not have to worry about the child contaminating anything other than the suit.

I live in a world where we acknowledge the problems of teen pregnancy and STDs. Do you, or are you going to promote the Darwinist doctrine of fornicating as often and with as many people/animals/plants/objects as possible?
Did you even read my suggestions? (If I had my way, the town elders and the rest of my family would stone them (Deuteronomy 21:18-21), but unfortunately the doctrines of Benjamin Spock, Fred Rogers, and Jim Henson prevail amongst our society, so parents will get thrown in jail for so much as telling our child that they’re failing their classes.)

“I live in a world where we acknowledge the problems of teen pregnancy and STDs. Do you, or are you going to promote the Darwinist doctrine of fornicating as often and with as many people/animals/plants/objects as possible?”
yeah but you show a clear disregard as to what causes these problems. nob ody with decent knowledge of this who lve in a society that would not look down on sexualiy active teenagers have would have this problem. because they would use protection.

oh yeah i see you really side stepped that pothole. ofcourse your kid ain’t gonna hate you if you simply kill them how could i miss that

This is the type of permissiveness we cannot tolerate. Think about knowledge of drugs; if a child has never heard of marijuana, then that child will never attempt to smoke it. However, if you allow the child to associate with people who talk about marijuana, then you risk giving him knowledge about that wicked drug. From there, it’s a lose-lose proposition; if you tell him that the drug is fun, then he’ll experiment with it, while if you tell him that the drug is bad, then they’ll just rebel against you anyways.
The fornication debate works the same way, Jazze. The best way to keep children from getting pregnant or STDs is to keep them ignorant of the basic underpinnings of sex.
The threat is greater than the execution.

“if a child has never heard of marijuana, then that child will never attempt to smoke it.”
wrong. if a child have never heard of marijuana they will not understand the need to back away when they encounter it. and they will encounter it.
it’s the same with sex. actually that’s worse because sex lies partly in instincts. a boy will at a certain age start to fell sexualy attracted to girls but if he do not understand why or what it actually is he is not going to take the nececary reprocautions.
you can not simply asume that the world will not throw all the evil shit it can at your kids because it will. and it is your responsibilty to prepare them for it as a parent. you should not be in front of them shielding them from the world because one day they will need to be in it alone. what you need to do is walk behind them and encourage them advice them and warn them, and should they fall you help them up and encourage them to keep moveing forward.
if you have no faith in your kids why should they have any in themself?

You make some interesting points but I have to disagree with the idea that punishment by death is acceptable in today’s society. “Thou shalt not kill,” means far more to me than that previous demands of Deuteronomy.
You discussion of Christian school is a relevant one as well, but while there are many fine Christian colleges, grammar and high schools with a Christian basis are not as easy to find depending on where you live. Those of us who are not Catholic are not entirely comfortable sending children to Catholic schools. And money of course is a major factor. Understanding all this, home schooling is a great option for Christian parents and beyond that many just have to deal with the public school system and supplement family Bible study to counter the liberal and socialist propaganda in there.
In any event, I do appreciate your thoughts and look forward to reading your future comments. With my love,
