I have always been very passionate about humanity and social justice, and have always been angered by the injustice in the world.  Activism is my way of channeling my anger to create positive change.  I am an activist for youth sexual health and rights because I believe it is part of my moral responsibility to do so. For me, morality is very simple: everyone deserves equal rights and respect, no matter who they are or what they’ve done. Though I have not been involved in this movement for very long, I see that the issue of comprehensive sex education is a very simple issue concerning what is right and what is wrong: we are all human and deserve the right to information and options concerning our own reproductive health; it is wrong to deny this to any human being.

Along with my strong moral compass, I am also motivated by my own lack of sexuality education in high school.  As a former Catholic school kid, I was denied comprehensive sex education as well as any information that I would find relevant to my sex life. Though I know there is not much I can do for youth in Catholic schools, I know there is hope for youth in the public school system.  My hope is for young people to realize their potential and their value to society.  We are led to believe that we are weak and powerless when in reality, we hold the future in our hands.  We are the leaders of tomorrow, and my goal is to achieve a tomorrow that I can be proud of.
