Sexual Health Educator, Planned Parenthood of Central and Greater Northern
New Jersey
Sex Education can be eye-opening to high school students, as well as
college students. I feel students relate
to music more often. There is a video that I have had the opportunity to see several times. My daughter, who is 22, brought it to
my attention. It is about two men who are in a relationship and the beginning shows the men in love, and one of their mothers who accepts the relationship. However, when the couple goes to public places, such as the park, and they are holding hands, one mother
pulls her children away from them and make negative facial expressions. Another time, the couple is harassed by a group of
men, and later, when one of the men was walking through the neighborhood alone, he was beat up and died. His partner committed suicide.
This is a very
deep video about men in a same-sex relationship. The artist of
the song, "Far Away," is Marsha Ambrosius, and her song was inspired by one of her own friends who committed suicide. It is such a beautiful, but sad
song. It showed how people can be
judgmental and go as far as being not only verbal abusive but physical abusive. This kind of behavior can have a very negative impact on peoples’ lives. I feel
this video can be implemented into an educational program.
