Abstinence

Schools are often pressured to emphasize abstinence as the only behavioural option for young people in teaching about sexual health. While there is considerable debate and doubt about the efficacy of this approach, the publishers and partners of this web site have located some web sites that offer educational resources based on that perspective but do not necessarily agree with, nor support this approach, nor these resources. Please review and consider these resources carefully if your school requires you to use or emphasize this approach.
