Whichever group you belong to, I'd like to offer you a way of thinking about sex a way I believe will help you make good sexual decisions, ones that will help you build a good character and lead a good and happy life. I then address a number of questions that young people often have about sex. Furthermore, the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth found a drop in adolescent sexual activity for both males and females, ages 15 to 19, for the first time since the survey began in 1970. According to a number of studies, students who get good grades, who have goals for the future, who abstain from drugs and alcohol, and who often attend religious services are all significantly less likely to have had sex than students who do not possess these qualities. So if you're a virgin, you're in good company.
Love means wanting what is best for the other person, seeking the greatest good for that person.
When he or she wants what is truly best for your welfare, your happiness now and in the future. Think about the harmful consequences that can come from sex between unmarried persons. Love is patient, love is kind. Love wants what is best for another person. Love never demands something that will harm you or the person you love.
