The teenage years can be an absolute blast! In fact, as an adult you will reflect often on these years as a teen. Many adults have said that if they could live their teen years over they would have remained sexually abstinent. Why? They realize their flippant sexual behavior affecting relationships they now have and have many regrets. Do you want to reflect on the good times and memories or reflect on hurts of relationships, worry of STDs, and the possibility of pregnancy? Just because you're a teen and remain abstinent doesn't mean that you can't have fun. Yes, sex is fun, but it also has painful consequences if you're not ready to take responsibility for those.

Let's review some risks:

1) pain of relationship breakup

2) Unplanned pregnancy - there is no easy option here no matter what the choice

3) STDs - that's enough to worry about right here - HPV, Herpes, HIV, Hepatitis

B, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis and Trichomonas just to name a few.

Want to have fun? Have real fun - without the painful consequences.
