Rejecting scare tactics, this video presents abstinence as a positive, healthy choice for teenagers. The consequences of sexual activity—including pregnancy, infectious diseases, and emotional costs—are discussed in non-threatening terms that young people can relate to. Self-esteem, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, and the influence of the media are all explored, with additional focus on smart approaches to dating, how to develop refusal skills, and the importance of communicating with parents and trusted adults. Includes a 15-page facilitator’s guide. Not available for preview. (34 minutes)
