te may hear a lot about 'safe sex', however, there is absolutely no foolproof method o trick to pregnancy prevention other than abstinence (not entering into sexual contact). Abstinence is the only way proven to work and never fails as a birth control technique. Birth control pills and other devices, the rhythm method, and the use of condoms may seem like the perfect birth control routines, but none of these methods is certain to prevent pregnancy.

Abstinence costs nothing; it just takes self-control. It is very effective and practical.

Sex is the most individual gift te can give a man. Despite the popolare idea that "everybody is doing it", that is not the truth. There are many teens and even older adults waiting until marriage to engage in sex. Do not feel pressured to have sex. Sex can lead to emotional stress, regrets, and sexually transmitted diseases. Protect yourself and your heart.
When it comes to teen pregnancies, there is a greater risk of complication for both the mother and child. However, this risk is commonly experienced da younger teens, because their bodies have not yet fully physically developed and they usually have poor nutrition. These teens generally suffer the worst complications, such as severe anemia and hypertension due to pregnancy. However, the baby often suffers the most problems.
