Videos for 9th Graders, Curated by Al Vernacchio, MSEd
What Should You Do If You Had Unprotected Sex
"I like how this video gives information to cover a wide range of unexpected or unwanted consequences of unprotected sex. I also like that it discusses reasons why unprotected sex might occur in a nonjudgemental way. For students who understand metaphor, the moving car is a great way to show how fast and uncontrolled things can feel when dealing with possible consequences of unprotected sex, and how one can reestablish control and steer the situation in a way that might minimize these consequences."
"Not only is this video clear about the qualities of a healthy and unhealthy relationship, but it gives concrete examples of those qualities in action. Like all amazo.org videos, this one includes same-gender as well as different-gender couples, providing a powerful message about equality and inclusion without ever having to state it directly. Finally, I love that the heart guides the discussion in this video. It's an important reminder for young people (and older people) that relationships, unlike hook ups, involve a heart component."
"This video provides a wealth of information about consent, and models how to have a casual conversation about a very important topic. I love how Eve, the big sister, also makes sure Pip knows that talking to parents and teachers is always an option as well."
"Body image is one of the most fraught topics explore with in my classes. This video is so clear in affirming all body types and gender identities, and helps young people understand the forces that collude to make them feel insecure about their bodies. It's joyful, funny, and so loving in its approach to the topic!"
"This is a topic that isn't talked about anywhere near enough! I love how it frames rejection as something that can happen in any area of life, including relationships, and that the solution - whatever the situation - is the same. I also like that it acknowledges that rejection hurts, but that feeling isn't the end of the process - it's just the beginning."

What Makes a Healthy Relationship

Saying Yes or No: What is Consent
"This video provides a wealth of information about consent, and models how to have a casual conversation about a very important topic. I love how Eve, the big sister, also makes sure Pip knows that talking to parents and teachers is always an option as well."
Why Don't I Like the Way I Look?

Dealing With Rejection: What's the Best Way?
"This is a topic that isn't talked about anywhere near enough! I love how it frames rejection as something that can happen in any area of life, including relationships, and that the solution - whatever the situation - is the same.
