Sexual abuse is never
the victim's fault. This person still has the gift of their virginity to
give away.

could decide to rewrap your gift and not have sex any more until
marriage.

of four teens who are having sex gets an STD every year.
The game also shows that these STDs can be asymptomatic - no signs,
no symptoms, but contagious.

is the most intimate form of bonding. It's
got to hurt when you break up and could leave you with a hard, cold
heart. Abstinence = Freedom

protection. As you begin to date you will need to set
boundaries and always be prepared to stop. Students learn how to recognize and stop teen

The Pressure of Drugs and Alcohol One of the biggest pressures
on teens to have sex is drug and alcohol use.
Alcohol wipes away the self control needed to live a sexually
abstinent lifestyle.

birth control pills and/or condoms can reduce the risks some of the
time, they do not guarantee protection.

dangers of having sex outside of marriage.
The only way to guarantee you
won't get hurt is not to play the game.
