ABSTINENCE
The only 100% effective way to avoid having a baby is to not have sex -- that is, to practice "abstinence." Abstinence is the most effective method of Birth Control and many teens choose this option. For some, this means not having sex until they're married. For others, it can mean different things, like waiting until they've found a committed partner and are in a serious long-term relationship.
Lots of people are practicing abstinence these days. Half of high school students have never had sexual intercourse. In fact, the majority of teenagers, even those who started having sex when they were younger, think teens should wait until they're older.
It is also important to note that some teens who have had sex in the past may choose not to have sex again right now. That is, you can always say "no," even if you've said "yes" before.
When it comes to sex, you need to think carefully about its risks, consequences and meaning. Don't just stumble into it, and don't feel pressured into having sex just because others are.
