Didn't have much time and tried to focus primarily on maintaining a home environment (husband to wife, father to children) that would prevent people from going down the path that led to the unhappiness I see in the aforementioned couples. Brief mention of porn, no mention of homosexuality (the gay folks got a break), and heavy emphasis on respect for spouse and preparing kids to understand the hows, whats, and whys of the Law of Chastity.

I have made a few presentations in the past to wards on fifth-sundays. I take a bit of a unique angle. I try to convey to parents how absurd it is to have an open, unfiltered, and unregulatated internet connection with kids in the house, especially teenage boys. I try to convince them that it just isn't realistic to tell your kids "don't go to bad sites" and expect them to be able to resist. It's not a fair fight. The bulk of my presentation is on educating them on the technological side of setting up and monitoring a filter. And other software/utilities for monitoring computer activities.
