Congratulations! You just realized that prevention is a key component! Here are a few steps to help:

> Talk to your friends and family about your decision

> Hang with people who respect your choices

> Avoid drugs and alcohol. They usually lower your guard and lead to risky behavior

> Avoid sex messages from music, magazines, and movies

> Girls, avoid dating with guys four years or more older than you. (Due to different interests/experiences, studies show that girls who date older guys have a greater chance of getting pregnant)
