Answer 1

I would pick another topic because there is too much hysteria about the topic. Read what Judith Levine has to say and then decide about whether you still want to do the paper. I also think it is a bad idea for a teacher to focus their student's minds on negative thoughts, e.g. what was my worst nightmare?

Few issues cause as much consternation as the sexual lives of young people, a fact made abundantly clear to author Judith Levine and the University of Minnesota Press upon publication of "Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from s*x."

In the furor over the book, most commentators have missed Levine's main point: "s*x is not ipso facto harmful to minors." In act, "America's drive to protect kids from s*x is protecting them from nothing. Instead, often it is harming them."

In the past two decades youthful sexual desire has become widely pathologized. As Levine notes, "It's as if (parents) cannot imagine that their kids seek s*x for the same reasons they do: They like or love the person they are having it with. It gives them a sense of beauty, worthiness, happiness, or power. And it feels good."

The panic surrounding youthful sexuality can perhaps best be compared to the war on drugs: Both are based on ideology rather than science, and no amount of evidence can change the minds of true believers. Both mask underlying social agendas in which concern for children is used to control the behavior of adults.

My worst nightmare is liberty being destroyed by marxists that want to expand the role of government in our lives.
