I can’t say enough about BreakDown! The performance was real, entertaining, challenging, encouraging and informative. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder and I don’t have to be pressured by EVERYONE that “Everyone’s doing it” because they’re not and you have a whole amazing, talented team of students to prove it. I can’t thank you enough for coming to our school. You guys are AWESOME!!!

If I could change anything it would be losing my virginity. I have more knowledge now and I’m definitely going to make better decisions. Because of BreakDown STL presentation I will start to practice sexual abstinence because I want to be healthy and to do what’s right in God’s eyes.

I wish I could go back in my life and make different decisions. This presentation made me cry thinking about all the stupid mistakes that I have made. I have a STD that I will have for the rest of my life. I hope other teens learn from you and don’t have to go through what I have gone through. Thanks for being real and caring about us to tell us this stuff!”

I had no idea that some of the stuff that my friends and I do have such consequences. Even though it’s scary to hear, I’m glad that you told us the truth. Thanks for being open and honest!

I have made a lot of mistakes! Your program, personal stories and speakers gave me hope that I can start over. Thank you!

I’ve heard this all before, but somehow seeing all this information in the way you related it made a connection with me. Thank you for making BreakDown STL so relevant to teenagers.
