You’re getting hot and heavy and everything is fine…until it isn’t. What happens when you—or your partner—want to stop the action but the other person is still good to go? Consent is a major aspect of learning the ins and outs of relationships.
If you are not OK with it (and it means anything) then DO NOT DO IT. Relationships that are truly loving and supportive involve a level of maturity that not everyone has-let's be honest here! If you’re in…

I know some teens think that having unprotected sex is no big deal, because they don’t think STI’s or unplanned pregnancy will happen to them. I understand your thinking process. I was also that kid who believed I’d never catch anything or that gross things like STI’s would happen to anyone I knew.

With May being Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month and all, it got me to thinking about sex. Sex has been a fad for a while now, pretty much since the beginning of humanity. With the exception of one historical figure, it’s how we all got to be here.
But sex is also something really important. With modern times and being able to actually choose who you’ll marry it’s an important choice to make. Especially being able to learn, see, and do so much in the world, it’s…

So, this isn’t 14th century England and you’re not betrothed to your best friend’s older brother. There’s no rush to get married, and some people aren’t even doing that anymore! So, why rush the whole parent thing, too? Right now there’s no expiration date on when you can have kids, and let’s face it, are you more excited to change a diaper or find a date to prom? I think we all know the answer.
I’m in college, and while some people I…

We all have questions…why is the sky blue? When can I get my learner's permit? Why are my parents so incredibly embarrassing? But some questions are a little harder to ask…how do I know if I love him? When will I know that I'm ready for sex? What kind of birth control is right for me…and how do I get it?
