Everyone talks about sex -- TV shows, movies, magazines, friends and family. But in the midst of all that talk, it can be very confusing and difficult for teens to work out what is true or what information they need to know before making a decision about becoming sexually active. This program outlines the things to consider. Just about everyone asks themselves, am I ready to have sex? Viewers will learn that everyone has a reason to have or not to have sex, and not to give into the pressures. This video stresses the importance of knowing about having safe sex. Students will come to understand that for their physical and emotional health they must know the facts about sex. If not, they must ask questions and get the answers they need from health care professionals or other adults they can trust. And finally, the program asks students to explore and think about their own values about sex before they say yes and to realize that abstinence is always a good option.
