Then prepare yourself for a heart-rending grief as faithful obedience to these commandments guarantees 100 percent success in raising juvenile delinquents.

“HUMAYO KAYO AT MAGPAKARAMI!!” (In English: “Go and Multiply”)

GOD says to NOAH after the great flood. What does HE really means to that word? Does He mean to multiply in flesh or spread people’s faith?

That quote from the bible has been the excuse of Catholicism for not using contraception and banning abortion. Even sexual education.

We have to be realistic in life, staying virgin until you got married is very impossible to happen these days.

Teenagers are very impulsive and very eager to try new things and stuff.

We are civilized people yet we pretend to be ignorant when it comes to SEX. Ignorant those teenage children may have the possibilities to be engaged in sexual activity by the time they reached the age of 16, or even younger.

We FILIPINOS lacks of knowledge when it comes to contraception and often dismissed children when they asked question about it.

We are very confident that teenage children will never be engaged in sexual activity because they are too young and we teach them values about GOD.

Teenagers are easy to encourage as they lack of experience and very eager to do things that may seem new to them.

My point is why catholic’s banned sexual education when the vision of this education is how to prevent unwanted pregnancy by the means of contraception. Sex education doesn’t encourage teenagers to get pregnant and have an abortion afterwards, right??

And in my opinion, it’s up to teenager’s choice whether to have an abortion or not. Why does she have to continue on pregnancy if she is unable to provide her baby’s basic needs because she’s still studying.

IS IT OUR FAULT THAT WE DID’NT TEACHED THEM ANYTHING ABOUT SEX? OR, THEIR FAULT FOR BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL THEIR LUST?

Whether you pack or buy your lunch, follow these guidelines:

1. Choose fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are like hitting the jackpot when it comes to nutrition. They make your plate more colorful and they’re packed with vitamins and fiber. It’s a good idea to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, so try to fit in one or two at lunch. A serving isn’t a lot. A serving of carrots is ½ cup or about 6 baby carrots. A fruit serving could be one medium orange.
2. Know the facts about fat. Kids need some fat in their diets to stay healthy — it also helps keep you feeling full — but you don’t want to eat too much of it. Fat is found in butter, oils, cheese, nuts, and meats. Some higher-fat lunch foods include french fries, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets. Don’t worry if you like these foods! No food is bad, but you may want to eat them less often and in smaller portions. Foods that are lower in fat are usually baked or grilled. Some of the best low-fat foods are fruits, vegetables, and skim and low-fat milk.
3. Let whole grains reign. “Grains” include breads, cereals, rice, and pasta. But as we learn more about good nutrition, it’s clear that whole grains are better than refined grains. What’s the difference? Brown rice is a whole grain, but white rice is not. Likewise, wheat bread contains whole grains, whereas 100% white bread does not.
4. Slurp sensibly. It’s not just about what you eat — drinks count, too! Milk has been a favorite lunchtime drink for a long time. If you don’t like milk, choose water. Avoid juice drinks and sodas.
5. Balance your lunch. When people talk about balanced meals, they mean meals that include a mix of food groups: some grains, some fruits, some vegetables, some meat or protein foods, and some dairy foods such as milk and cheese. Try to do this with your lunch. If you don’t have a variety of foods on your plate, it’s probably not balanced. A double order of french fries, for example, would not make for a balanced lunch.
6. Steer clear of packaged snacks. Many schools make salty snacks, candy, and soda available in the cafeteria or in vending machines. It’s OK to have these foods once in a while, but they shouldn’t be on your lunch menu.
7. Mix it up. Do you eat the same lunch every day? If that lunch is a hot dog, it’s time to change your routine. Keep your taste buds from getting bored and try something new. Eating lots of different kinds of food gives your body a variety of nutrients.
8. Quit the clean plate club. Because lunch can be a busy time, you might not stop to think whether you’re getting full. Try to listen to what your body is telling you. If you feel full, it’s OK to stop eating.
9. Use your manners. Cafeterias sometimes look like feeding time at the zoo. Don’t be an animal! Follow those simple rules your parents are always reminding you about: Chew with your mouth closed. Don’t talk and eat at the same time. Use your utensils. Put your napkin on your lap. Be polite. And don’t make fun of what someone else is eating.
10. Don’t drink milk and laugh at the same time! Whatever you do at lunch, don’t tell your friends a funny joke when they’re drinking milk. Before you know it, they’ll be laughing and that milk will be coming out their noses! Gross!
