Pressures to be Sexually Active
Students identify and discuss four major pressures, including alcohol use and abuse, which contribute to teens’ sexual activity, and they learn the role of respect in overcoming these pressures.
The Need to Speak Up
After learning the skills of saying “NO”, students put them into practice finding out that it often takes courage.
Show It: The Need to Be Assertive
Four role-plays provide practical ways for teens to test their newly acquired skills as they recognize the need for perseverance.
