I connected best with #17. The section starts with a student asking "If you do it standing up, can the girl still get pregnant?" Moments like these are either what every new teacher hopes will happen, or hopes will never ever happen. On one hand, you have a chance to make a real difference in this kid's life. Because of how you answer this one question, they might finish high school, they might wait to have sex, they might have a conversation with their parents or significant other about having safe sex. If you don't answer the question or ignore it, you let a perfectly good moment to teach slip right through your fingers...but...you might not get any parent complaints, you might just have a talk with the Health teacher, or you might have some pregnant students and soon-to-be fathers.
