What Parents and Teens
Need to Know
By Marilyn Morris
Founder/President Aim for Success
For well over 50 years, antibiotics have been known as the miracle drug. But as we've often heard, all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have been warning us for years that a day is coming when antibiotics will be a thing of the past. In fact last year, Margaret Chan, the head of the WHO sounded the alarm when she said, "The problem is simple to grasp. In the past 25 years, bacteria have become increasingly immune to the antibiotics in our medical arsenal. Now the cupboard is nearly bare."
Gonorrhea is just one of the many bacterial infections that have outsmarted one antibiotic after another. The current class of antibiotics being used to fight off gonorrhea is cephalosporin.
Over the past few years, the CDC has been warning Americans this current line of defense is the last line of defense. Once these antibiotics stop working, that's it...there are no more antibiotics waiting in the wings to cure gonorrhea.
Antibiotic resistant strains of gonorrhea have been showing up over the past few years in various parts of the world. Then on January 9, 2013, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) announced this "superbug" form of gonorrhea has now hit North America.

Sometimes the comments from students can break your heart -
The teen dating violence part was an eye opener because I am getting out of an abusive relationship and he had all the red flags you talked about. Thanks. 16-yr-old girl
It does hurt to lose the person after you've had sex. In my case, I got pregnant. He left me and a few weeks later I lost my baby. He came back, but I told him never again. It still hurts. 17-yr-old girl
Some people think a break up after sex only hurts girls, but that's not true. 16-yr-old guy
Other times they are very encouraging -
I think the program is good. It has good info and it makes me want to save sex for marriage. 11-yr-old guy
This program has helped me realize what I want to do is save sex and accomplish my goals. 12-yr-old girl
I'm talking to my boyfriend this weekend and we're going to set boundaries. Thanks! 15-yr-old girl
