In high school, having multiple sexual partners was the norm and girls didn't take care of themselves sexually. My high school ended up having a high rate of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. This was likely due to insufficient sex education during the early years of high school and a high poverty rate in the area. I feel like I quickly learned from my mistake and learned to protect myself sexually and emotionally. I saw all the pregnancies happening around me, I learned from them and I told myself it wouldn't be me. Going to this high school and learning from all these experiences shaped my thinking even more and made me realize that sex should not be something that is thrown around and can lead to serious consequences if protective measures are not taken. taken.
