| Boys in Abstinence clubs |
Message we shared during abstinence lesson held on 30th July 2014.
Unfortunately, some youth feel that they have to lose their virginity to keep
up with their friends or to be accepted which is so bad in this generation to
do things so that others can be pleased.Nobody wants to feel left out of things
— it's natural to want to be liked and feel as if you're part of a group of
friends.
It doesn't sound like it's all that complicated; maybe most of your friends have already had sex with their boyfriends or girlfriends and act like it isn't a big deal. But sex isn't something that's only physical; it's emotional, too. And because everyone's emotions are different, it's hard to rely on your friends' opinions to decide if it's the right time for you to have sex.
What matters to you is the most important thing, and your values may not match those of your friends. That's Ok — it's what makes people special,unique and wonderful . Having sex to impress someone or to make your friends happy or feel like you have something in common with them won't make you feel very good about yourself in the long run.
True friends don't really care whether a person is a virgin , sick, poor or weak — they will respect your decisions, no matter what.Even if your friends are Ok with your decision, it's easy to be misled by TV shows and movies into thinking that every teen in America is having sex.
Writers and producers may make a show or movie plot exciting by showing teens being sexually active, but these teens are actors, not real people with real concerns.

They don't have to worry about being ready for sex, how they will feel later on, or what might happen as a result. In other words, these TV and movie plots are stories, not real life. In real life, every teen can, and should wait to have Sex.
"Just because you had sex once doesn't mean you have to
continue or say yes later on, no matter what anyone tells you. Making mistakes
is not only human, it's a major part of being a teen — and you can learn from
mistakes."said Miss Joan Kabuleta the Coordinator of RASYN.
