Sex: Am I ready for the S word?

Sex is an important aspect of human development that should not be taken lightly. With it comes new risks and responsibilities. Make sure you are completely informed before you have sex and that it is for the right reasons, not on a dare, or because everyone else is. Remember "Nearly two thirds of teens who have had sex wish they waited. There are a lot of good reasons to say 'no, not yet'." (teenpregancy.org) Talk to a trusted adult, such as your parents or health care provider. They have your best interests in mind. Be informed and take time to make the right decision for you.
