CWA Warns that “Girls Gone Wild” Leads to “Girls with Regrets”
Concerned Women for America ^ | 3/9/06 | Concerned Women for America

Posted on 03/11/2006 1:46:04 PM PST by wagglebee

Washington, D.C. — Concerned Women for America (CWA) pleads with young women across the country to take caution and safety measures as they enter the spring break season. The American Medical Association released a study which says that 83 percent of college women admit that spring break involves increased consumption of alcohol, and 74 percent said the break is a time to indulge in sexual activity.

“The danger of spring break is that students have an attitude that ‘anything goes’,” said Dr. Janice Crouse, CWA’s Senior Fellow of the Beverly LaHaye Institute. “The idea that this vacation has no consequences is a frightening and naive mindset. Reckless conduct always has consequences and young people need realize their vulnerabilities and show responsibility.

“Spring break is a week away from reality for students across the nation, but it does not negate the fact that STDs are real consequences and that excessive alcohol leads to risky behavior.

“Tragic stories of girls who mysteriously ‘disappear’ or horrible things happening to unsuspecting victims should alarm us and be a warning to high school and college girls looking for a good time. Participating in wild behavior on spring break dramatically increases the risk of crime and undesirable outcomes. My prayers go out to young girls as they enjoy the carefree tradition of spring break. While they will be tempted to lay caution and responsibility aside, I challenge them to enjoy a delightful, ‘fun in the sun’ break from school, while still maintaining integrity. I hope they will make wise decisions, show discernment, and respect their bodies.”

It's high time that young people learned that lifestyles have consequences.

Heard a story about a young gal, the daughter of an acquaintance of mine. She was on one of them video's doing disgusting things with another girl. When the video came out and she was found out by the entire small town in which she lived, she comitted suicide.

These people, the adults AND kids need to understand that there are consequences to their actions.

I always worked every single day during spring break when I was in college. It really helped pay the bills because no one else was around to work and I could throw in tons of overtime.

As Sidney Poitier so eloquently said to his "wayward" female students in "To Sir,With Love"...."no man likes a slut for long.Only the worst type will marry one."

I hope they did't spend tax payer money on that study...

I completely agree, and so does her father even though he's never gotten over it....nor do I think he will.

Similar story here. Extra time to get ahead in classes, and my grades were much better as a result.

That's an understatement.

I would like to know how and why the Girls Gone Wild infomercials are allowed on basic cable TV. They are far and away the most sexually explicit things on TV, with emphasis on lesbian action. I suspect that most of the people that would take action on such things don't even know it's on general cable and available to any kids that may be up then.

never went to spring break.
never really understood the appeal.
besides - i don't much like sunlight.

aside from that, I must admit that those commercials for the various "GGW" et alia videos make me very, very sad. those poor, stupid kids.

It is entirely possible that she was concerned about what she did. It also possible she was concerned about how she would be treated by the small town in question.

Sometimes the way we treat the sinner is worse than the sin.
