We're Lying: Safe Sex and White Lies in the Time of AIDS
1. Yes, I agree with Meghan Daum's point. The more you hear about AIDS and how bad it is to catch, the more likely it will be that you are interested in breaking "the rules." Sometimes breaking the rules can be exciting; it seems that spreading the idea of how bad this disease is may actually be driving teenagers towards catching it. Woman are being taught to believe that men are always dishonest when they say they're healthy. This just shows that these teachings are a little dramatic in the way that they're ruining young souls. Women cant even make guy friends because they always have to be on the defensive side. Now, you have women that want to protect themselves so they ignore men and don't make friends like they should. It really is a corrosion of the soul.
Thesis: Teenagers are not taking safe sex as seriously as they should be. It's hard to teach rebellious teenagers about the risk of getting AIDS in a time when they just want to have fun.
"Maybe there’s something secretly energizing about flirting with death for a night and then checking six months later to see if we’ve survived.”
I agree to what you said. At a teen age people try to be adventurous and this is what cause us to commit huge mistakes. Teens need to learn how to control this feeling and be mature and responsible. I completely agree when you said "Woman are being taught to believe that men are always dishonest when they say they're healthy. This just shows that these teachings are a little dramatic in the way that they're ruining young souls" This is too much, we all just need to learn to pick the right person. We need to make smart decisions.
