Quote 1	Engaging stakeholders	Youth minister	There will probably be some things that we need to go through with the parents first to let them know what the curriculum looks like. And maybe even getting input from them about what information they think the children need to have and how they see that … Some parents are very comfortable in being very honest in giving their children information. Some still are not.
Quote 2	Authenticity of Curriculum	Parent	Because realistically we know that some young people are going to get sexually involved so they should know what choices are available to them and how to protect themselves.
Quote 3	Authenticity of Curriculum	Youth	I feel as though they should keep it real, like don’t tell me about the birds and the bees, don’t tell me that at all, just tell me the real deal, I’m 17.
Quote 4	Relevance to Youth	Youth minister	We need to focus on the things that they idolize. We need to focus on the rap artists, the R & B artists. We need to focus on the type of clothes. We need to focus on the social ills that are going on. Because a lot of times, the social ills are what’s pushing them into those different areas, because they’re being glorified in certain ways.
Quote 5	Relationships	Parent	I don’t feel that relationships are discussed enough. I feel that they are given plenty of information on the sexuality part, but I don’t think that how to have a relationship, how to approach a relationship, why should you have a relationship, any of the guidelines for being in a relationship, I don’t think that is discussed often enough. And love doesn’t always mean sex, you know.
Quote 6	Adaptation	Youth	I mean like I said they talk about sex in the Bible so they can kind of relate it like, I don’t know, like bring it together, like talk about how sex is … in the Bible and religion and how it is in real life.
