According to the website, Theology of the Body for Teens: Middle School Edition answers questions such as:
Who am I?
Are there consequences to my actions?
What is the difference between love and lust?
How do I balance family, friends, school, God, music, TV, internet, texting, etc., in my daily life?
How can I discern my vocation to marriage, priesthood, or religious life?
How do I deal with bullying, gossip, peer pressure, pornography, divorce, etc?
Can I live my Catholic faith no matter how I messed up in the past?
Sounds like it’s really about giving them a good understanding of who we are as human beings and how we should relate to God and one another generally. Preparing them for a more detailed discussion about sex and the male-female relationship specifically at a more appropriate age. I like that.
