Ways to say NO !
  • Set personal limits regarding premarital sex and don't lower them for anyone.

  • Avoid tempting situations.

  • Find supportive friends and hang around people who have the same values as you.

  • Don't assume you have gone too far and cannot change.

  • Plan your dates... be creative, occupy yourselves with other activities. Avoid watching sexually explicit media.

  • Control your own body.

  • Walk away from overwhelming situations.

Reasons to WAIT !
  • Unwanted pregnancies and abortions can be prevented.

  • Sexually transmitted diseases are life threatening and can cause permanent damage.

  • Sex does NOT guarantee a lasting relationship and it only hurts more when you "break up".

  • Waiting allows the freedom to develop strong friendships.

  • Premarital sex can hurt one's relationship with his or her parents and others.

  • Sexual decisions can sabotage future goals.
