Juneau teens say banning Planned Parenthood is bad for students
When Planned Parenthood came into her freshman health class, Sage Zahnd was relieved to talk about consent.
“It’s not something that a lot of teenagers get to hear about,” the 14-year-old Thunder Mountain High School student said. “How to say no if you aren’t comfortable with doing something, and I think that’s really important to hear about.”
And it wasn’t just a school lesson; Zahnd has applied what she learned to real life.
“I’ve had some interactions with people where they were just too close or touching me, not in a sexual way, but in a way that made me uncomfortable. It really helped being able to think, like, here’s the way I can explain it without necessarily making them feel bad, but making the message clear to them that I didn’t like what they were doing,” Zahnd said.
