Benefits of abstinence for me:
-sticking to my belief system and values
-waiting until I meet the right person
-concentrating on my studies and extracurricular activities
-safety from risks of pregnancy and STIs
Pressures that might keep me from staying abstinent:
-my partner's desire to experiment with sex
-my need to please others instead of listening to myself
-fear that other kids would think I was too straitlaced to have sex
