Youth is the stage of life where dangers are not seen. It is common to see young people kissing, showing their love in public. Sexual relationships are becoming more precocious. This, although it is not correct, is tolerable. But, it is unfair to see 14-year-old girls in consultation to use the abortion pill.
Media announcements are not enough, if we do not become aware of the risks involved. Is it so hard to protect yourself? With protection we avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. We must practice a responsible sexuality at any stage of life. There are many methods available to everyone.
The condom is an effective method, which has many benefits. It is available in all pharmacies and is sold to people of any age. In San Antonio de los Baños, the Department of Education and Prevention for Health performs an arduous task to avoid unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. It is up to the youth to become aware of what they are doing, to assume a responsible relationship and to protect themselves in order to avoid further complications.
