COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM:

"I liked it a lot because we could ask things that we can't our mothers or fathers." Arvin High School

"It showed the pain other people suffer and it made me realize this can really happen to any one of us." Vista West Continuation High School

"I liked having the class co-ed because it was nice to hear how some of the guys felt about risky behaviors." Ridgeview High School 

"It answered questions I was embarrassed to ask my parents." West Bakersfield High School 

"The teacher taught us how our lives would be if we were living with HIV. That really scared me." North Bakersfield High School 

"I feel a lot more confident, and I now have a lot more reasons to be abstinent." Stockdale High School

"I feel that people with AIDS are still people and you need to be nice and respectful to them, because there aren't any bad people in the world, there are only bad decisions." Bakersfield High School

"The teacher spoke the truth and made us realize how the choices we make today can affect the rest of our lives." Centennial High School

"I have a new respect for abstinence and the people who use it." Foothill High School

"It really gave me helpful information, and I can take this information and pass it on to my friends and family." Kern Valley High School 

"It scares me that what I was doing was wrong. I don't want to get the virus. Starting now, I'm going to be smart when it comes to decision making." Ridgeview High School 

"It taught me to say 'no' to things I've been wanting to do. This is a good class, everyone should have the chance to take this." Highland High School 

"It was informative, and I feel that a lot of people my age knew very little about the virus before this program." Shafter High School 

"I wish I was still abstinent. I wish I had this class earlier because I've made some dangerous mistakes." South Bakersfield High School
