Staying abstinent can keep you free of sexually transmitted diseases and also keep your mental, emotional, and physical state as good as possible! At a young at(teens-20) sexual activity can actually harm some bodies, as they are not yet ready and matured enough. Also, when you are young it is hard enough to be emotionally stable, let alone having had sex and be emotionally stable. Remember there is always the word no, and places to stop. You can have a friend and a safeword for them to come get you etc. <span />
