Have
you ever wished you could go back and do some things differently?
Many sexually active teens wish they could go back and do just
that. Unfortunately, a number of them think that since they
have already had sex that abstinence no longer applies to them.
Here’s the truth…
Having
sex before you are married does put you at risk for a number
of consequences. It’s your choice. Do you want to reduce
those risks or eliminate them completely? Abstinence is the
only way to eliminate your risks.
Just
because someone has been sexually active does not mean that
they can no longer make healthy choices for themselves. Thousands
of people—teens and adults—are making ABSTINENCE
COMMITMENTS because it is the healthiest choice. They
realize that abstinence is the only 100%
EFFECTIVE way to avoid emotional heartbreak, unwanted
pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
You
are an incredible person! Having sex does not make you a bad
person. USA100 believes you are precious and that your sexuality
is a valuable gift to be treasured and saved for one person
in marriage. We also believe that the best sex is experienced
between two people who have made a commitment to each other
for a lifetime.
It
is possible to start over by following these steps:
DECIDE
to start over
BELIEVE in yourself
that you can practice abstinence
AVOID temptation
COMMUNICATE your
decision to your boyfriend or girlfriend
EXPRESS your love
in non-physical ways
FIND SUPPORT from
family and friends
Abstinence
is not always easy. But it is always the healthiest choice physically,
emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.
