By Mother | June 10, 2008
It can be a real challenge to talk to your teen about certain topics - most especially SEX. But no matter how awkward it may seem, make sure to exert some effort into discussing sex and abstinence with your teen. You won’t really lose anything if you try.
In order to talk about abstinence, you need to know the importance of abstinence. This method of birth control is the only method that is 100% effective and also guarantees that your teen does not get exposed to STDs. If your teen chooses to refrain from having sex, than you can ensure his or her physical well being when it comes to sexual situations. You can also almost guarantee that no life-altering situations may come up - for example, unexpected pregnancy.
