Abstinence Avatar Game Teaches Kids How to Avoid Sex, 'Winning' Is Really Losing
In an interview with FOX News' Orlando affiliate, professor and research leader Anne Norris said the game would provide Florida's hormonal with "a place to practice where there aren't any social consequences." (Witness the bizarre mating, or non-mating, dance after the jump.) Since the morality is weaved into a video game platform, Norris believes teens will find it easier to pick up valuable social skills. "A boy similar in age might approach the person playing the game and ask her to make out or there might be some sexual innuendo," Norris explained. Wow. That sounds like a really tough situation. Or, as most of the world would call it, "the best day of your teenage life." [From: FOXOrlando, via: Joystiq and The Awl]

$434,000 to develop a game that may help to avoid premature relational break-ups, divorces, stop further spread of STD's, and more importantly may save the lives of the babies who might otherwise be aborted because their parents are too young to care for them... yeah, that sounds like a lot of wasted money for sure.

Preposterous. Doing games for that purpose is stupid. Better have parents teach them what's proper behavior… Same as with game consoles: when no one wants to care about their children they better buy gadgets to keep them entertained and working as nannies. If parents are so worried about having children to become a spoiled generation, either talk to them or don't have them.. The state or school system will never permeate to youngsters as peers or people they look up to do. Children and teens don't respect their parents because the family nucleus is completely broken. That's why teens seek guidance on the internet or whatever place they like and respect. The internet won't be changed. No one may prohibit children to get on the internet or watch TV for that matter. Those $434,000 should be spent on hands-on campaigns with parents to try encourage them to talk to their children properly about risks involved with sexual intercourse and so forth. Trying to create eunuchs will, as always, get the extreme opposite reaction, just like a slingshot.
