Well in a suburb in St.Louis a high school is lining 50 of them up to take an H.i.v test. It seems that the kids could have all been exposed(although no one is releasing the who,what, wheres,why or hows-although we all know the how part). In this day and age we still have this moment prevailant amongst teens as everyone beleives that Aids either can't happen to them,has been eradicated,or is something you take a pill for and keep living.
They fail to realize that Magic still has it and just has access to many of the drugs,health treatments,and the best doctors money could buy,as does his wife. I don't know if medicaid can equal his millions and afford them the same accessiblity.(It can't and we all know this,but they don't). Parents if you hae young pre-teens and teens at home talk to them. I recently asked my 12yrold if he was gay. He laughed and assured me he was not. He said he was interested in a couple of youngladies but didn't feel good discussing it with me.
I asked him if he was having sex yet? he told me honestly no but he didn't feel like discussing that with mother either. I respect his feeling and expressed as much to him. But I told him he was my greatest concern and that when and if he felt that he was ready to start to skip the embarressment and come talk to me so that if I can't get him to abstain then I could at least tell him how to protect himself.(Hey I was young too and how many of us ever listened to our parents on this subject? I'm not stupid and if he's going to do it behind my back I at least want him to know how to protect himself. I don't want to beleive and play neive and end up like governer Palin in 5-6yrs.)
Theres' no harm in talking. And it may save their life.
