An absolute must see for all-beginning w/kids in Grade 4!, July 15, 1999
This review is from: Sex,Love and Relationships:Curriculum [VHS] (VHS Tape)
After having had made choices that have left painful consequences in my life, my answer to many of those choices was, "No one ever told me." Even after having made a wrong choice, I continued to do so, desparately seeking to fill an emotional void that I thought would come from physical "love". Pam's video hits on the fact that "physical love" scars us emotionally and physically. The emotional bound that we so desparately try to fulfill on our own can come only when we learn to respect and love ourselves by realizing that our self-worth lies not in what others think of us, but in the love and forgiveness of the blood of Jesus - - certainly not by engaging in an act that leaves us scarred for life. Although, thank God, STD's are not a consequence of the choices I've made, I have the tough responsibility of raising 3 boys without much help from their fathers. I would gladly welcome the opportunity to publicly tell my life's story if I knew it would help even 1 young girl to realize that engaging in physical contact is NOT the answer to an emotional void. Pam's video impacts those at an age when they need to hear it. Pam, I'd love to help you spread the message!

POWERFUL INFORMATION!, May 14, 2000
This review is from: Sex,Love and Relationships:Curriculum [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video was shown by a visiting RN to the students of the alternitive high school where I teach. What a powerful message Pam Stenzel has for all teenagers and young adults, whether they are already engaged in physical relationships or contemplating becoming sexually active. When I was a teenager all we worried about were the moral issues and getting pregnant. Too many people think HIV/AIDS is the only STD they need to be concerned about. Pam speaks matter-a-factly to teens about over 50 other sexually transmitted diseases, many that only abstinence will prevent. Most teens, and many adults who deal with teens, do not have all the facts. Pam makes sure that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision before you have sex, and tells you what options you have if you are already engaged in a physical relationship. We are making this video accessible to any student who wants to view it again at home. Our church ministers to a large group of "project" kids. We are going to use it in Sunday School. Wouldn't it be great if all teenagers had all the information they should have before they go out into the world?

The Texas Panhandle needs Pam Stenzel!, February 24, 2000
This review is from: Sex,Love and Relationships:Curriculum [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am a single father of two. I live in Amarillo Texas, a city with the highest teen pregnancy in the entire state of Texas. I was priviledged to see this video and would like to think that with the powerful challenges Mrs. Stenzel outlines, it would be very beneficial to have a rally here simular to the one she spoke of in Atlanta. My Son is 13 and my Daughter is 10. Both are at very impressionable ages. My son attended this showing with me and said he was really glad he went. We are very close and I could tell his thoughts were sparked. My daughter will attend next year. Mrs. Stenzel possesses the unique skill it takes to relate to the young crowds she speaks with. I was very impressed and wished something like this would have been available when I was a teen. I praise her stand and her passion for young people. I also want to praise our school system for allowing the PTA the freedom to show this video. Hopefully more schools will do the same and the results will turn our pregnancy rate in the other direction. If you can Mrs. Stenzel, come visit our city.
