Help them understand the implications of risky sexual behavior, including sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancy, and the ways they can protect themselves.

Instructional Ideas

  • Use one, some, or all of the lessons in a health class or teen issues course when discussing sexuality
  • Give class members the opportunity to journal their thoughts privately if they are not comfortable sharing out loud

Classroom Considerations

  • References serious topics such as teen pregnancy and HIV/AIDS with probability exercises; be sure that class members can discuss these topics in a mature manner
  • Discusses the individual implications of having HIV/AIDS, but does not refer to the global crisis of many countries who are crippled by the disease

Pros

  • Provides a great tip about inviting an employee at a local clinic to speak to your class, as it might be helpful for them to know that there's a friendly face if they ever need to go to the clinic
  • Prompts open and honest discussions about sexual risks and ways avoid them

Cons

  • None
