Explain two reasons why abstinence is a healthy lifestyle choice for teenagers

1 answer

1. Abstinence is a healthy lifestyle choice for teenagers because it eliminates the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent the spread of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

2. Abstinence also allows teenagers to focus on other aspects of their lives, such as their education, career, and personal development. Abstaining from sexual activity can help teenagers to avoid the emotional and psychological consequences of engaging in sexual activity, such as feelings of guilt, regret, and confusion.
