Here at Stay Teen, we love talking about sex. You think we’re joking? It’s something that everyone has questions about and will probably do at some point in their life, but the questions of when, why, how, and who with always pop up at some point. So it was perfect when we were trolling YouTube and found Laci Green’s videos, more specifically her video Right age to have sex??

Our parents tell us be safe. Our educators tell us not to do it. How do we be safe? What is ‘it’? With the best intentions but nothing actually being said, you’re given the paddles to row and no boat to steer. 

And here’s a recap of another exciting, drama filled episode of East Los High:

Another episode of East Los High, and a lot more drama.  We continue to see Jessie struggle with her mom’s cancer diagnosis, her spot on Bomb Squad, her relationship with Jacob, and her friendship with Soli.  More importantly, in my opinion, is how Ceci starts to deal with the realization that this pregnancy is real.

Like we’ve talked about before, one second could change your life forever.  One decision, one move, one piece of news, one whole new life to deal with.  A few of the teens have their lives turned upside down when they receive some disturbing news and others make decisions that could change their lives forever.

Maya is continuing to work hard at the restaurant and being honest with those around her.  Jacob thinks that she is going to steal the tip the customers left for the waiter, but Maya obviously doesn’t.  He lets her keep the money, but not before an apology from her for the hurt she caused his family when she dined and dashed.  While Jacob still doesn’t trust Maya, I feel as if she is starting to gain his approval and acceptance.  Jacob’s father, though, has really taken a liking to her.  He sits her down and explains the risks he took when he was a young adult.  Maya is someone who could take either path.  Even with a rough past, there is no reason you can’t make a positive change and course correct. That is exactly what we see Maya doing.

As the story line of East Los High continues, we become more involved in each character and how all of the events going on are impacting their lives.  Everyone is experiencing change, something that is completely normal during your teen years.  This is the time when you go from being a child to becoming an adult.  Even though it’s a gradual change, every little event helps you along this path.  For the teens at East Los Angeles High School, we definitely see some change and adjustment occurring in Episode 4.

Your teen years are the most carefree years you will have throughout your life. That is, if you make the right choices.  Episode 3 of East Los High seems to be centered on this notion and it is definitely something to take note of.  One bad decision, in one split second, can change your life forever.

Is it time to give it up? Is he the one? Is it what I want to do? These seem to be the questions that Jessie is trying to answer during this episode.
