Imagine this: You’re a teenager at a crucial point in your life. You have the decision of having sex or choosing abstinence. So what do you do? Instead of being irrational and making a possible life-changing decision, you decide to seek some advice from a group of your well-trusted peers. They inform you about the consequences of having sex. Once you’re through talking to them, you feel inspired and rethink your decision about having sex.

In my opinion, many things can happen if you just jump into having sex without a second thought. For one, you could contract an S.T.D or you could even risk the chance of becoming pregnant. No girl/guy wants to deal with any of these problems; it can ruin a life.

Peer pressure can also have an effect on someone having sex. Some teens hear that their friends are doing it or their friends persuade/pressure them to do it. Either way it goes, it’s good to say no. Don’t be ashamed of it.

Choosing abstinence is more so the safest route to take when faced with a tough decision of having sex. If you ever feel tempted to have sex, think of the consequences of your actions and choices before you make a move. Make smart choices that help you, not hurt you.
