Mike Long is one of America’s leading educators helping teenagers deal with the many pressures they face about sex.  For years, he has spoken to school assemblies and youth organizations all over the country; and in increasing numbers, teenagers have responded to his clear, honest message. Mike effectively communicates with teenagers; and in this book, he addresses such issues as:

• the Top Ten List of Pressures on Teens to Have Sex
• how to cope with the emotional ups and downs of teenage relationships
• how the entertainment industry has deliberately lied to teens about sex in order to pick their pockets
• how teens can use a simple test to determine whether or not a boy friend or girl friend really loves them
• how far is too far
• how teens can take charge of their own sexuality and find true sexual freedom
• and why, for the first time in decades, everyone is NOT doing it!

Since 1985, over 1 million teenagers have heard Mike speak and seen his powerful video series.  And now, Mike has written this book especially for teens looking for clear direction and needing honest answers to questions they have about sex.  His simple, yet compelling instruction will help any teen lead a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life!

“As a practicing Obstetrician/Gynecologist for many years.  I have seen it all-sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancies, and emotional trauma.  It is refreshing to read a book designed for teens that gives them clear direction and medically accurate information that will keep them free from these terrible consequences.  I find this book to be a valuable resource for teens, parents, youth leaders and others who are interested in helping young people make responsible decisions regarding their own health and sexuality.”

A Faith Application Verison of the “Everyone Is NOT Doing It” series is now available on DVD or VHS Tapes for churches and youth groups.

From Abstinence Education pioneer Mike Long, the faith application version of the “Everyone Is NOT Doing It” 4-part video tape series is designed to teach sexual purity to teens from a Biblical perspective. This tape may stand on its own for a one time program for youth and parents or as a continuation form Mike’s 4-part series.

Mike Long has been a leader in abstinence education since 1985 in the public schools. He has traveled to nearly every state in the US training thousands of teachers and parents in his “directive” approach to teaching abstinence to teens. He has spoken to well over 1 million teenagers and his “Everyone Is NOT Doing It” video tape series “For Happier, Healthier, and more Fulfilling Lives” is being used in over 4000 school systems and youth organizations nationwide.

This series is produced in a secular presentation for public schools building good health, character, maturity, responsibility, self-discipline, and respect in teens. Many churches and other faith organizations use this series with their youth groups because it helps them understand why sexual abstinence until marriage makes such good sense. Mike beleives that once it makes sense to them, their hearts will be more open and receptive to the Biblical application. That is why he made this tape.

For best results, pick a month to showcase this issue with your teens. On the first night your youth meets, show tape 1 of the “Everyone Is NOT Doing It” series. The next week, show tape 2 of this series. The next week, show tape 3. During this time, pick a night for the parents to meet and show them tape 4 - “The Parent/Teacher Role.” On week 4, show both parents and teens together this tape for the Biblical application. Then provide each teen a copy of Mike’s book, Teenagers: Everyone Is NOT Doing It and each parent a copy of Parents: Everyone Is NOT Doing It. This way the discussion may continue at home between teenagers who are motivated on the issue and parents who have more confidence in addressing it. If you cannot devote a month to the entire series, then pick one night to show this tape to both parents and youth together and provide them Mike’s books.

Finally, consider having Mike come and speak at a youth rally in your community and conducting training for area pastors and youth pastors.
