Free:
to do what you want without the worry of an
unplanned pregnancy or getting an STD. Free
to be a teenager and experience all the world
has to offer you.
Independent:
The strongest people are leaders, not followers.
SO WHAT if it seems like everyone else is having
sex (BTW, they’re not). Show your leadership
and make your own decisions.
Loved:
You are worth waiting for. Someone who really
cares about you wants the best for you and knows
the value of waiting for sex.
Respected:
You earn respect by standing out, not blending
in.
Healthy:
You can be sure that it feels a whole lot better
knowing that you aren’t infected with
an STI. Feeling healthy positively affects your
entire outlook on life.
Happy:
Enjoy this time of you life with having to worry
about STIs, pregnancy and all the other feelings
that come with having sex too early.
Hopeful:
You have so much to look forward to. Waiting
for sex until you are in a lifelong committed
relationship, such as marriage, will allow you
to enjoy all the benefits that sex can bring.
