So how do you sort it all out? What’s important for you and your future? What are your values and what role will they play in helping you find what’s right for you? The best choice for many teens is choosing to postpone sex because there is no risk for unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, or emotional regrets of having sex too soon.
When it comes to your sexual health, talking things over with your parents and even including your doctor can help you sort out your health concerns and needs. Knowing the facts and putting together a plan that’s right for you will help you to be fully prepared for whatever decisions and choices you make.
