Break Down delivers positive message to students

Pueblo students had the opportunity to see two performances from Break Down Tucson.

BreakDown is a team of young people who bring the powerful and dynamic message of hope and freedom to a generation of young people looking for the REAL thing. This fast-paced, high-energy performance, designed specifically for today’s digital generation, was created to break down the lies that our sexually saturated culture has been telling our youth for years!

This presentation tackles tough issues such as drugs and alcohol, rape, sexual abstinence until marriage, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV, second chances, unhealthy and abusive relationships, pornography, self-esteem, TRUE sexual freedom and much more.  BreakDown will shock, challenge, and inspire even the most skeptical teen.
