Kids, Teens and a Growing Addiction to Porn

Okay, so this is heavy. I’ve noticed  a recurring theme in the news and it’s heartbreaking. The issue is focusing on the growing epidemic of online porn addiction found in children and teens. By no means am I an expert on this topic, but I would like to share a new TED book,  The Demise of Guys: Why Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It by Philip Zimbardo and  Nikita Duncan, as well as a recent article I read, Jamie is 13 and hasn’t even kissed a girl. But he’s now on the Sex Offender Register after online porn warped his mind…  Please see the excerpt below from The Daily Mail Online:

Jamie was ten years old when he saw his first pornographic sex scene. During a sleepover, a classmate offered to show him ‘some funny pictures’ on his laptop.

‘At first I found it a bit scary and a bit yucky,’ Jamie told me as he shifted uncomfortably on his chair during our therapy session.

‘I didn’t know it was possible for people to do those sort of things — and there were lots of nasty close-ups. But it gave me funny feelings and the pictures started to stick in my head.’

For the next three years, while his parents assumed he was using his computer for his homework, Jamie visited porn websites for up to two hours a night…

Whether you have children, brothers, sisters, cousins, a Mentee, whatever, I strongly believe that this is one of the top issues that needs to be on one’s radar when it comes to children. So many of the issues we see in adults stem from one’s childhood. Our children are our future, and it is our responsibility to be accountable so that they have the most promising future possible.

Please share this post. God only knows how many families have this going on in their very own homes, and they don’t even know it yet.

Pray hard.

Mia’s Closet celebrates our first year of serving the greater Houston community!

Hey guys!
Today is a very special day for me and countless Mia’s Closet supporters! It is our 1 year anniversary and I am so blessed to be able to share this occasion with our Coffey Break readers! For one year we have been dedicated to providing clothing, free of charge, to families in dire need of support. Words cannot express the beauty of our volunteers interacting with the children and teens k-12 that we serve in the greater Houston community.
Our Houston-based nonprofit  Mia’s Closet, has had an incredibly busy couple of months, and  here are some of our most recent highlights. Mia’s Closet is a clothing donation organization that provides events to build confidence and self-worth in girls k-12.
On Saturday, March 3rd, we hosted our very first Family Fun Day in collaboration with several local companies and organizations. Thank you to the support of Wing Express, Hungry Heroz, Raydon Marketing Solutions, Moonstar Clothing, Mr. Fix It, State Farm, Triumph Christian Center, DJ Fanci, Karaoke for Kids and HCA Healthcare for helping us create a truly remarkable experience for these families! We were able to assist 200 kids with clothing, sports equipment and food –all for free! Please take a look at the following link for photos from the event: MIA’S CLOSET PRESENTS FAMILY FUN DAY AT YATES HIGH SCHOOL!!

On Friday, March 30th, Mia’s Closet and Niko’s Locker teamed up with Las Americas Middle School, Kaleidoscope Charter School, NHPO -National Hispanic Professional Organization Leadership Institute, PAIR -Partnership for the Advancement and Immersion of Refugees, TSU Student Government Association, The UNO Project 2050, and Kachi Designs to present The Mia’s Closet After School Carnival at Las Americas Middle School! It was the most incredible experience, over 300 students attended. Las Americas and Kaleidoscope serve as a relief campus for HISD. Their students are non-native speakers and refugees. They represent over 32 different countries and over 20 different languages. We had the privilege of visiting classrooms on a few occasions prior to the event, and the loving atmosphere they have created for their students is one of a kind environment. Here are the photos from the event! MIA’S CLOSET PRESENTS THE LAS AMERICAS AFTER SCHOOL CARNIVAL!!
We recently received a really wonderful testimony from one of the Las Americas teachers, Ms. Sosa: “I just have to tell you, we have already gotten visitors as a result of the volunteer e-mails that you sent out, they were forwarded your e-mail with our website info and they came to see the school for themselves and they are seeking volunteer opportunities here! We even had the Houston Chronicle here!!! They will be here next week hopefully to do a feature story! All stemming from Mia’s Closet! God Bless You!!”Our first year has been a great year so far, and we look forward to the opportunities to come! This year we created Niko’s Locker, our subsidiary for boys k-12. Mia’s Closet hosts events on a quarterly basis and it is a blessing to say that we are ahead of schedule! Our next event will be during August for back to school. Feel free to contact us for opportunities to donate or get involved, and please, spread the word!
Thank you and God bless,
Chelsea
