Wondering what’s so special about Teen Damien? Fear not, I have your answer here!
10. I get my HIV and STD tests—FOR FREE. Yup, you heard me (read me?)
correctly. If you a) are strapped
for cash b) don’t want this on your
medical insurance (think avoiding the whole “Son, daughter, why would you need
to get checked for STDs?!”) or c) are like
me and spending way too much money on side-by-side choconana
shakes (if you don’t know what I mean, you’re probably going to be
healthier and richer without them) then you can come on down to the ole’
Testing Center without having to pull out your wallet.
9. TD looks gooooooooooood. I don’t know about you, but I’m a vision in
orange.
8. We get the cool condoms. I don’t have a penis, but if I did, you’d
better believe I’d be wearing one of ONE's glow-in-the-dark
condoms…maybe not for sex, but just so I could flail around in front of
my roommate’s mirror and pretend I was Han Solo with a 6 inch light saber or
something. We have ribbed, studded, ribbed AND studded, flavored, thin, large,
lions, tigers, and bears, oh my.*
7. Prevention is the coolest department. There. I said it.
6. Our Peer Educator Trainings are fun, helpful, AND you get paid. Find
out more here.
5. Our Youth Advisory Council helps us plan and educate. Since Teen
Damien exists for YOUTH prevention, we actually want YOUTH to help us develop
the program. (Who would’ve thought? Some place that actually cares about what teens have to say?!?! What?!?! Yup. We do.) If you want to be part of our
Street Team, In-House Development Committee, or Event Planning, check out the
link here. If you’re thinking, “UGH,
commitment, no thanks,” check it out anyway. We may surprise you!
4. We’re easy to get at. Find us
on Facebook, Twitter, this website, through teendamien@gmail.com, at 317.632.0123, or at 26North Arsenal Avenue. You may also see Teen Damien at your school, church,
club, campus, or after-school program.
3. Teen Damien has Rashida.
If you don’t know who she is, I REALLY hope you get a chance to meet her. If
you DO know who she is, then you understand why she’s in the Top 10 for Teen
Damien.
2. We have a treasure cabinet
with all sorts of safer sex supplies, so if you
aren’t trying to exchange those four fluids, we can show you what your options
are.
1. We tell the truth. And we think that you deserve all the facts so
you can make your OWN choices about your sexual health. This is about your body, your health, your life.
*Side note, we do not have lion, tiger,
or bear condoms. PLEASE DO NOT PUT A BEAR ON YOUR PENIS BEFORE SEX.
Solidarity,
Mackenzie
Youth Outreach Educator
