Avoiding Intimacy!!

Teenage pregnancy is a reality. We are living in a world where it is still believed that boys can be sexually aggressive and it is the duty of the girls to resist sexual advances. Teens are exposed to an environment where drugs, violence, sex, money and peer pressures are an ever-present force that affects both their behavior and perception of life. Today's teens are more protected and sheltered from the consequences of their behavior than ever before.

Abstinence is the most effective contraceptive. Teenagers should learn to show affection and love in many of the non-sexual expressions and not involve in sexual activity. Pressurizing or forcing anyone into sexual intercourse is not acceptable. It does not show love or respect. It only shows how selfish, exploitative and disrespectful the person is. Teenagers should avoid high-risk situations like being alone in someone else's house or car. Youngsters should learn to say, "There is no doubt that I love you. But I am not ready for the kind of intimacy you are expecting. If you really love me, respect my feelings." A true friend would definitely respect their feelings
