"X-Treme
Talk for an X-Treme Generation"
The main purpose of the "X-Treme Talk Assembly" is to make the
students keenly aware of the fact that they have a destiny and a
purpose for their life. This realization will more than likely open
the door to the awareness that there then can be things that could
steal or destroy that destiny or purpose. Just being challenged to
say "No" is not enough to bring revelation to the hearts and minds
of today's youth. They need to realize that the decisions they make
today will determine their tomorrow. Once destiny and purpose have
been dealt with initially then the talk begins to cover the other
pressing issues.
Remember, that the assembly is handled with seriousness and humor
and always with a desire to help and challenge but not judge the
students. The content of each assembly is geared toward the grade
levels that are in attendance.
The talk covers things like drugs and alcohol where we DO NOT talk
about drinking responsibly. We challenge the students to be drug and
alcohol free! We teach them to not be a follower, but to stand up
and be a leader in their generation. We might say something like, "A
real man is not someone who can drink the most or party the most or
be the toughest…No, a real man is someone who can stand up and be
man enough to say, No! Anybody can get high, anybody can get drunk
but it takes a young person of great integrity, character and
backbone to say, I don't want any part of it!" We tell true stories
of friends and loved ones we have seen hurt by drugs or alcohol.
The assembly also covers peer pressure, pursuing their education,
integrity and character. We will always continue to weave the aspect
of destiny and purpose throughout the talk. The subject of violence
is also dealt with appropriately.
Depending on the grade level we’re addressing, we will cover the
subject of abstinence. We use humor and hard driving facts and
challenges to the students. We DO NOT talk about safe sex. We
discuss teen pregnancy and touch on AIDS and STD's (when age
appropriate). We challenge the young ladies to be women of character
and not to fall to the peer pressure of friends. We discuss the
possible consequences of their actions and do everything possible to
deliver a message that will make them think twice before they make a
wrong decision.
Please understand that to just write these words describing what
goes on in an assembly does not do it justice. We hear the same
things at every school. The principals, counselors and teachers are
always amazed at how the students listen intently to the talk
portion of the assembly. The reason the assemblies are successful
is because we are passionate about helping the young people of this
generation. These talks are not robotic but sincere and again I
use the word, passionate. Because of those reasons, the young people
hear our hearts, realize we are there to help and not point fingers,
and hear the passion in our voices.
Lastly, these are not light and fluffy talks that are nothing but
jokes and frivolity. They are powerful, eye-opening, 45-minute
dramas that move the student's hearts and minds to contemplate
change and new direction for their lives!
