Our Shout On Teen Pregnancy - The Way Forward!

So you've read all the facts and seen the figures, do you have an opinion, if so tell us. This, however, is what we've got to say.

Girls

Its now the 21st Century. Isn't about time that we learn to be independent, stand-up for ourselves and look after our bodies as well as our own future?! We need to learn that saying 'no' to boys is perfectly normal and if we don't want sex then we don't have to. Not everybody is having sex at an early age - despite what your mates are telling you!... A lot of people do exaggerate with their experiences. If you feel you are ready to experience a sexual relationship then visit your local doctor to get all the information about contraception and proper advice. There are more women doctors than you think who'll treat you with a lot of respect and maturity for visiting them to find out all the facts of a sexual relationship.

Boys

Is it really worth losing money and your driving licence for this? If it is and the girl in question means anything to you then make sure you and your girlfriend are keyed up on contraception. Take responsibility for your actions and make sure you are both comfortable with the situation before you go ahead. Again, despite what your mate's brag about there should be no pressure to have sex as soon as possible! Most of them will be telling you what they are dreaming about rather than what has actually happened! I'm sure if you waited rather than rushed it would be a much more enjoyable experience for you and the girl involved.
