Reasons to Wait to Have Sex

What Do You Believe?
Young people get their information about sex and relationships from a variety of sources. These sources often conflict with more traditional ideas about marriage, family, and sexual abstinence. With so many influences bombarding youth today, it is easy to mistake myths about sex with facts. This may create a risk of sexual consequences that can affect both immediate and long term futures. If you have questions about sex, ask someone you trust, like a parent, teacher, or other reliable source. The information is out there and you are taking a gamble with your future if you do not learn the facts and understand the dangers.
