Workshop Teens With *** deaf / Montevideo 2012.wmv

*** - AIDS The most important thing... if two people want to have sex they really need to use a ***. Condoms are important because they prevent diseases and help us to stay healthy. It's really important… "With me, with a ***!" (popular campaign slogan) RESPECT YOURSELF WITH US, WITH A ***! YOU DESERVE TO BE RESPECTED We need to learn and pass on that what is important is to respect to our bodies. It doesn´t matter if you are fat or thin, pretty or whatever… what is important are your feelings. Finding a person to love and who loves you that's what you need - to feel appreciated, cared for OUR PRIVACY Parents need to explain to their children that some things are private... that it's important to protect one's own privacy. Also…you need to be able to trust the person that you choose to be with. TRUST YOUR PARTNER - SPEAK OUT YOUR DESIRES - SAY WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE - RESPECT YOUR OWN TIMING - YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO AND BE RESPECTED! EVERYONE IS EXPOSED TO *** I think that everybody... it doesn´t matter if you are deaf, or lesbian or gay... I mean this is about everyone... what is important is to look after yourself. Some people don't realise that *** is not just passed on through *** intercourse. It is also passed on through blood, like if you get a cut... There are different ways you can become infected. That's why it is extremely important to take care of yourself. And that we all take care of each other - always. *** DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE! WE ALL HAVE RIGHTS If we have a friend who is deaf and *** positive we shouldn't discriminate against him or her. We should say hi, be friendly Respect them. They have the same rights as everyone else.
