Invite us to talk to your young people.  Let's hold an assembly in your school.  We have helped others!   We specifically maintain our scope to what is being said on this page.                          by Tad Donley 

 
Tad Donley has helped many from his walk from death to life.

My objective when speaking to young people in schools is to cover what I feel I should at the time within 45 minutes.  That includes two acoustic songs in the beginning.  What you read on this page is what I will say.  I will stay within this scope. 

If I were to speak at a church, those kids that came and heard what I said below will hear a different story.  I would talk about my testimony or whatever the Holy Spirit wants me to talk about.  We've got that down. 

There are a few categories on this page where I could only go to the Lord for healing, thus I will have to handle that by stopping and saying, "come to our concert to hear more". 

Premarital Sex. Emotional and physical problems can manifest, short-term and long-term.  Partners that trade partners who've had other partners rapidly increase the chance of catching sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) and Aids. 

Studies show young girls are taken advantage by young men 18 to 25 years old.  Young girls confuse having sex with experiencing love. 

The experience for the first six months of a relationship is primarily a chemical rush of dopamine and serotonin in your brain creating the illusion of love.  Have you ever had a relationship where you felt real good for a while then it died down to reality and you found out you didn't real like that person?  That's what I'm talking about.  So don't get all worked up. 

If you feel this great feeling, realize that your brain is stirring up chemicals, not the heart.  Give it some time. If it lasts six months, chances are the chemical part has simmered down, and you are running on your own steam.  My recommendation is to wait until you are married.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) are at an all-time high.  You still get a 14% chance of catching Aids, STD's, and getting pregnant even if you use contraceptives 100% of the time.  Contraceptives are not safe enough. STD's and HIV can also be contracted through oral sex and, depending on the
disease, through bodily fluids.

Abstinence is the only safe way to keep from getting pregnant and receiving any diseases that your partner unknowingly picked up from a previous sexual encounter.  Has your boyfriend or girlfriend had sex with someone else before you?  Get an Aids and STD test.

Teen Pregnancy. This affects relationships. More than likely, a teen pregnancy was unexpected and unwanted. Typically, the boyfriend abandons the pregnant teen.  Even using contraceptives 100% of the time means you have a 14% chance of still getting pregnant. 

What are supposed to be simple times growing up, have now become a quick awakening to working, taking care of a baby, taking on a small-paying job just to keep alive with a slower chance of getting the required education to get a better job.  You can't run away like your friends any more. 

Abortion. Abortion may cause permanent damage to the cervical area if you are very young.  I just saw some amazing new videos of a four-week-old person in the womb opening and closing his eyes, moving fingers, kicking and had a cute face.  Abortion has caused millions of ladies long-term depression.  Many regret having their own off-springs' lives terminated. WARRIOR has a new song called "I Was Wrong" and it's powerful!  It's my own song dedicated to two of my kids that I encouraged abortion years ago that I wish were here now with me. 

If you decide to have the baby and bring it up, more power to you.  If you believe you can not take care of the baby at your age, at least you can bring a beautiful child into this world for a loving couple.  You can walk away feeling good about yourself about that one. 

If you are actively having sex now with your boyfriend or girlfriend now, I suggest you stop or get married.  Otherwise, complications will more than likely surface.

HIV Awareness and Symptoms. Sex with different partners or with one who has had different partners increases your chances of getting HIV.  Even using a contraceptive 100% of the time still gives you a 14% chance of catching Aids, because contraceptives are safe only 86% of the time.  Aids drugs are expensive.  The latter stages of Aids are terrible.  Abstinence is the best way to keep yourself safe for your future husband or wife.

Rap Lyrics. 80% of the time only edify the rapper and his wallet.  Rap talks about sex, survival in the hood, sex, guns, sex, killing cops, sex, and how great the rapper is.  That's it. The reality in rap keeps that reality from getting any better.  Rap stops the clock in a project, in a small kid's life who mimic's the talk, walk, clothes, the attitude.  This attitude is "I'm going to do it for my own, because no one else is going to" and if I step on a few toes, well let the strong man win.  If you look at a rap video and hear the lyrics, there is no humility. 

Rap Videos. BET and MTV have got real bad.  MTV has "Videos After Hours".... whoop!   Kids on Saturdays can see all the booty they want to see during the day on  BET. And the women surround the rapper that brags about his girls (nice word), his money, his looks, his world.  Like, "Who cares?"  This is likely what the African-American kids who are left alone will see, and BET helps to bring down the African-American young person.  BET locks many into a false world of material, drugs, money - as if that is the reason for our significance. 

Rap Battle Lyrics.  There is a ruthless, fake manhood fraud with the guns, survival, hiding behind the "f" word to make money.  De-sensitized by too many young persons, too much money and drugs.  Read the lyrics your children are rapping.

You Kids Favorite Rock Bands.  Limp Basket is very popular now.  One of the songs on their latest album tell the audience to rush the stage and "stick 'em!".  It's about threatening beating up someone.  Violence, sex....the American way?....  No.  And it stops here.

Child Abuse. whether sexual, physical, and/or emotional, abuse is a trauma that impairs the child, teen, and adult from developing emotionally.  The young person learns from the abuse and "acts out" on others the same abuse.  Because of the reinforcement of abuse, many pockets of lies and bad files fill their souls and affect practically every aspect of their decisions, reasoning, and behavior. 

The solution is to identify those hidden pockets of trauma, abuse, numbness, lies, and bring them to the light.  One effective way is to write a letter to each of the offending participants.  Then take a look at what's out of you and before you, so that you can now grieve over what has happened when you were younger and start the healing process. 

You are then to call that person and tell that person that they have the option to read the letter and you send it to them if they want it.  If they don't want it, let them go.  But if you can, you must call them and give them the option.  This takes away the power they had on you and gives you the power back to dictate how it is going to be.

Internet Sex Seduction and Addiction.  A recent study has revealed that 76% of Christians are addicted to internet porn.  That means, anyone you talk to could be running to their computer when they get home.  Having a wife or girlfriend doesn't stop the addiction.  Because it is right at your fingertips, right in your own home, it is too easy. 

You must take it one day at a time.   Ask for help.  Have someone set up your computer to where there is no way you can take it off except to re-format the hard drive and re-install your operating system.  Sex Addicts Anonymous is a good place to talk about this problem.  There's power in removing the secret.

Marijuana is stronger than ten or twenty years ago.  Sensimillian strains prevalent today causes your heart to beat faster.  Paranoia kicks in harder.  Sweating, a sense of heaviness.  Loss of short-term memory.  Minute-by-minute distortion of time perspective.  The receptors in the brain are blocked at both ends with a clogged-up mass of THC.  Thus, thinking is not as fast, clear, sharp as being marijuana-free. 

You go into a new world, one different than what is normal.  The term "Pharmacia" is a Greek term, and it makes up our present word, "Pharmacy".  The definition of Pharmacia is "conjuring up spirits".  So, if you feel like you're not alone, and you look around once in a while, chances are you are not. 

Marijuana takes about three months to get out of the system.  It takes a full year of non-use to kick the habit.  Get to a rehab or call Narcotics Anonymous for help.

Drugs and Alcohol Facts.  Studies show that use of Marijuana ends up being a conduit for other stronger drugs like cocaine.  Once you go into the "other world", you want to experience "the other world" a little stronger. 

Only one true crack cocaine addict out of one thousand completely kicks the habit.  It takes divine intervention with that one. 

Alcohol addiction can be genetic.  It's normal to drink one or two drinks then feel like that's enough and stop.  The alcoholic has to drink more and more to get higher because it changes the persons feelings fast.  Alcohol is a drug.  It is used to alter your state.  So, once again, it falls under the "Pharmacia" category, because you've gone into "another world" than where you came from.  Your senses are highly deadened.  You can't feel pain as much as if you were sober. 

Alcohol affects your body physically so much more than any other substance.  Psoriasis of the liver, heart, arteries, etc. 

The solution is help with Alcoholics Anonymous.  Plus, there are areas stemming from your past that has caused you to have low self esteem about yourself.  Alcohol is a great way of running away.  You have to take a look at the things that have hurt you in the past, bring them to the light, and get healed, so you don't have to run any more.  Refer to the "letter" in the "Child Abuse" section.

Children of Addicts and Alcoholics.  Many times, children from these homes have experienced much more than they care to ever admit.  Usually there is a pattern of abuse - fighting between parents, fights with the alcoholic's, and neglect. 

A child normally discovers something is different when they stay overnight with a friend at another home.  The father and mother are different.  They don't argue with a drink in their hands.  There is no fighting. 

Many times, the child feels like it's his or her fault, and they cover for their estranged parent.  This enabling continues even into his or her own relationships.  Many times the victim finds someone that is like his or her alcoholic father or mother.  Why? To seek approval that they never got from their parent.  But the problem is -is that this new alcoholic sibling won't give the necessary approval either, because once again he or she is engrained in their own addiction. 

The solution is to go back to where it all started.  Make it a heart condition that you are not to blame for what you had to endure.  Get angry for what you had to put up with.  Write a letter to your alcohol father or mother and write down everything from when you were born to now what he or she has done to you that was wrong.  Then take a look at all that was in you all this time but you never could reach it.  Grieve over the trauma that you had to just skip over.  Let the healing begin. 

Identify the wrong things you did, like covering up for him or her, acting like it was ok when it is not, set up good boundaries, and get away from the alcoholic you are with.  You are not responsible (once again) for his or her condition.  Get with someone that is not addicted to alcohol or drugs.  And appreciate someone who now respects your boundaries as you respect his or hers.  These are now the only friends you choose to have.

Suicide is influenced by forces other than what is seen.  No one in their right mind would kill themselves.  It takes help to get someone to that point.  Depression, if it's chemical in nature, requires the right medication. 

Depression caused by low self esteem, chronic oppressive conditions, parent neglect, being given things and money instead of love, unhealthy relationships and covenants, a gradual distortion of reality through the help of drugs, satanically-influenced rock music, alcohol, hearing voices. 

When you open up the worm - if you don't close it, chances are it's still open.  You keep going and a spirit of heaviness and hearing voices is allowed.  Thus, this new influence adds to the stronger dimension of oppression. 

A distortion or curve from the truth, if kept pursued will naturally follow its course to its particular end.  And if someone does not want anyone to know, he or she can succeed in not letting anyone know.  

If someone looks like they are throwing you one-liners and then withdrawing, spend time with them and see what's going on.  A good movie is "Thirteen".  If you watch the leading girl actor, she is throwing out one-liners to her mom that are part-truths, part-lies.  There is no way for the mother to detect where her daughter is heading. 

(At this point I would say, "more will be discussed later", but for those who have this problem, this is what I would say in a Church)

There are other forces that want to take you out. Ephesians 6.  Don't think they aren't in the picture too.  The solution is to break down and ask God for help on this one. 

First, say to God out loud, "Jesus, please forgive me for all of my sins, past, present and future".  This way Satan knows you are forgiven by God and have a direct line of communication with God now.  Then, do as Jesus did during His three-year ministry.  Say out loud, "Satan, I command you to leave me in the name of Jesus Christ".  "All enemies of Jesus Christ, I command you to go before Jesus' feet right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ".  They have to go. 

The Spirit of Fear is the worst.  Say out loud, "Spirit of Fear, I command you to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ".  Then quote Scripture like Jesus did when he was debating with Satan.  "It is written - perfect love cast out all fear".  Then sit back and notice your mind getting clearer.  A huge weight is taken off your shoulders. 

Then look back where you veered from the truth.  You know where that was.  Don't go back there anymore and get into a good Church.

(Back to school)

Peer Pressure.  This is probably the strongest stronghold on a young person these days.  You so desperately want to be accepted that you will do practically anything to get that acceptance. 

Your significance is not based upon what other people think of you.  Your significance is not based upon what your parents think of you.  Your significance is not based upon how materially wealthy you are.  Your significance is not based upon how well you perform in your studies, your work, sports, playing music, or anything on this earth.  Your significance is based upon what the Man upstairs thinks of you, and He loves you and accepts you just the way you are.  You are ok. 

Don't let your peers influence you to do something wrong.  You want to lead?  You tell them what's rock 'n roll!  Then they will either leave you and another set of better people will pick up on your decision to think independently.  You choose what comes in.  You are who you are with.  You can change this one yourself. 

Viacom is a ruthless organization.  These people want to own you.  They want your mind, soul, body.  They do not care about you.  They act like they are your friend, but because it is their nature to take you out, they will eventually -if you let them. 

They own Howard Stern, MTV, Brooks and Shuster (which published Howard Stern's book), the clothes you wear, the records you have bought.  They want to own your soul.  They send people out to throw out lines about a specific product and start fads.

They brought you Good Charlotte, and now you are tattooed and pierced out the wing wang! 

Viacom gave you young ladies the belly button shirt and pants.  Girls, there was a time when you were offended if a guy thought you were a sex object.  Now you feel empowered by showing a little skin, and you know the guys are looking - imagining if they can get in.  The guys will be on their best behavior, only to hope they can get in.  And you know this.  You help this to happen.  You encourage this and call it flirting.  It's titillating and designed. 

That isn't strength.  That isn't power.  That's not even sexy.  You know what sexy is?  You know what is a real turn-on?  Intelligence.  Sex is temporary. 

So, Viacom and MTV have succeeded in getting you to buy the hip hop light blue "Puffy" garb and tennis shoes and the fake silver chain (or real silver).  Doesn't matter.  What matters is they own you.  Young ladies, the brand on the back tattoo is going to be your demise, because when you grow up and meet a nice man, he's going to be turned off by that tattoo and not want you.  It will only remind him of who you've been with and how many.  Bad idea. 

I dare you to go to Dillards and buy a nice dress and wear it to school.  Talk about getting the RIGHT attention!  Guys, buy a nice pastel Polo shirt and beige shorts, nice shoes and go to school the next day.  Watch what happens.  Talk about getting the right attention!  You do that and you will break from Viacom and MTV.  You will be your own person.  People will try to help you.
