News Flash: I Don’t Think I’m Ready

Every week, we get a ton of questions asking everything from how to use a condom to how to talk to that cute guy in AP English. When we get a really good one, we want to share it with the world because—chances are—more than one person has the very same question. So, from time to time, we'll be sharing the best of the best (anonymously of course!)…have a question for us? Send us an email!

 


 

Switched at Birth: How to Talk about Waiting

This week, on one of our favorite ABC Family shows, Switched At Birth, Bay and Tank almost take their relationship to the next level.  Things are getting hot and heavy for them but Bay wants to put the brakes on the situation. It’s not that she doesn’t like Tank or even that it’s her first time; Bay already had sex with her old boyfriend Ty.  But for some reason, she’s just not ready and doesn’t want to have sex with Tank until she’s sure of what it means to her.

Waiting

Sometimes it seems like everyone is doing it…especially if you’re not. But less than half of teens in high school (only 42% of girls and 43% of boys) have had sex. That means that more than half of all high school students are virgins. And the younger someone is, the more likely they’re a virgin. For example, less than one-third of teenagers age 17 and younger have had sex, while 60% of 18- and 19- year-olds have.
