Sex has more disadvantages than advantages at our age.
Standing at the brink of a future filled with possibility, on the verge of maturity, young women and young men encounter the risks, responsibilities and opportunities of adulthood. If they are lucky, lessons learned in childhood will serve them well. But many adolescents are not this fortunate. Millions of teenagers lack the information and services to help them prevent unwanted pregnancy, abortion and sexually transmitted disease. From one day to the next, a future of promise can be lost.
