Our story begins in the halls of [your local mall/shopping center]
Janie: Betty, where do you want to go next?
Betty: Well, Janie, I really need a swimsuit. How about if we stop by the Bikini
Barn?
Janie: I think-[Enter FSY Man]
FSY Man: Halt! Stop! Don't you know what you are doing? What are you
thinking, girls????!!!??
Girls: For The Strength of Youth Man!!!
FSY Man: That's right, kids. And I got here in the nick of time!!
Betty: What were we doing wrong, For The Strength of Youth Man?
FSY Man: Gadzooks, Betty! The Bikini Barn???!!!!????
Janie: Well, you know For The Strength of Youth Man, there are lots of bikinis
that are more modest than one piece swimsuits.
FSY Man: Egad, Janie! Don't you remember my motto? "If you wear an
immodest bathing suit because it's "the style" it sends a message. . .that modesty
is not important."
Betty: Well, I don't want to send that message! Modesty is important.
Janie: But, how do we know what is alright?
FSY Man: Well, Janie, if you're not sure, always ask for guidelines from your
parents, advisors, and bishop. They are there to help!
Girls: Thanks, For The Strength of Youth Man! We'll remember that!
FSY Man: Think nothing of it, youthful teens! I must be off to save others like you!
Goodbye!
[FSY Man rushes off]
Narrator: Later that month. . .
Johnny: Hey, Freddy! Did you get the tickets?
Freddy: You bet I did Johnny. Gagaspalooza is going to be so cool!
Johnny: Let's wear our pants that are 50 sizes too big and grow our hair longer
and not wash it for two weeks so we can look cool at the concert!
[Enter FSY Man]
Freddy and Johnny: It's For The Strength of Youth Man!
FSY Man: What in thunder is going on here??!!!???
Johnny: We're going to a cool concert!!
FSY Man: Don't you remember my motto? "Avoid extremes in your clothing and
appearance."
Freddy: What do you mean, For The Strength of Youth Man?
FSY Man: Giant pants and dirty hair may not be extreme if you are stranded on a
desert island, but they certainly are here!
Freddy and Johnny: Thanks, For The Strength of Youth Man!!
Narrator: At the end of summer, the teens of [your town] are excited about the
Mutual Fall Formal Dance.
Janie: Oh, Betty. What are you going to wear to the formal?
Betty: I was thinking about that dress we saw at the mall. I know it's sleeveless,
but it's impossible to find a formal that has sleeves!
[Enter FSY Man]
FSY Man: Yikes, girls!!! Don't say another word!!
Girls: For The Strength of Youth Man!!!
FSY Man: And I got here just in time. Don't you remember my motto? "Dress
appropriately for all Church meetings and activities."
Janie: But For The Strength of Youth Man, how will we find a formal?
FSY Man: If you need help, talk to your parents, advisors and bishop. They will
move heaven and earth to find a modest formal for you!!!
Betty: But how can we find out more about dress standards?
FSY Man: Remember, teens: I can't be here all the time, so I've created this
booklet to help you remember my mottos!
Janie: Yeah, it comes in regular and wallet size! [She pulls one out of her pocket]
FSY Man: Great scott! You had one all this time?!?!?!? If you have it, use it!
All: Great idea, For The Strength of Youth Man!!
FSY Man: And always remember: If you follow these things, you WILL succeed!
