Remember that theres more to life than
sex. Develop your skills at school and at home.
Fill your days with the company of positive
people who support you as you become the person
you were meant to be. These years are yours
alone. They go quickly and when they are gone,
theyre gone. Dont let pressure to have sex too
early sidetrack you from having the life you want
and deserve!
