TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey
It's completely understandable how you might be curious to explore your sexuality. I urge you to THINK before you DO. I don't know if you have a boyfriend or not, but i hope there is no one pressuring you to do this. And whenever you decide to do this, know that you have a choice. There are many risks involved with having sex such as, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STD's). The only way to not get pregnant is abstinence since no method of birth control has a 100% effective rate. If you do decide to have sex, make sure to use protection to prevent pregnancy.

If you have any questions you can call Planned Parenthood at 323-233-4462 or go on www.plannedparenthood.org.
