Right now I’ve been reading a
book a friend let me borrow, called “Prime Choice” by Stephanie Perry Moore.
The book is about a teenage boy named Perry Skyy Jr., who’s a senior, popular,
and the best football player in his state. His girlfriend, Tori, is also one of
the popular kids at school but the one problem he has with her is what she won’t
let him do, which is to take the “next step” in their relationship. Tori’s
reason for reason for not going to the next level is her religious values and
the fact that she wants to save herself as well as she doesn’t feel ready.
Perry on the other hand thought he felt the same way but he slowly sees himself
submitting to peer pressure, and this leads to him giving her an ultimatum of
them either taking the next step in their relationship or breaking up. So they
break up but he still feels love for her afterwards but doesn’t know whether to
do what physically feels good or what feels spiritually right.
My
personal reaction to this was that too many teens feel the need to do things
whether they feel ready or not, or if they feel mature enough for the
responsibility. I believe the authors’ intent in this story is to make teens
realize they don’t have to do what they don’t feel is right and that you should
stay true to yourself and whatever beliefs you feel is right for you and your
life.
