Youth sexuality is such a complex thing. I feel like a caring community should encourage and discuss the complexities of sexuality, sexual desire, and dating. However, in many communities discussing anything surrounding sex other than "don't get pregnant" or "don't get anyone pregnant" is still taboo. We have to move out of an area of discomfort and move into one of interaction. Maybe this tragic death could have been avoided.

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. That the speaking profits me, beyond any other effect." - Audre Lorde
