It's Your Choice: Preventing Pregnancy and STDs

The decision to be sexually active has huge ramifications for all young people, especially in a society in which a million teenagers get pregnant each year, one in seven contracts a sexually transmitted disease, and HIV is an increasing threat to the adolescent population. In this video and print package, a group of real kids describe the consequences of their own sexual behavior. As the speakers in It’s Your Choice tell their powerful stories, viewers are shown that they do have a choice in this sexual minefield, and they can avoid pregnancy and STDs. Experts provide valuable practical information on contraception and sexually transmitted infections, as well as helpful advice on decision-making, assertiveness, abstinence, and the need for personal responsibility. The Teacher’s Resource Book offers extended role-plays and group activities.
