Maybe your parents sat you down and gave you “the talk” a long time ago; maybe it
was another trusted adult that explained it to you; or maybe your friends are the only
people you know that talk about sex, in any case you’ve probably been hearing about
the birds and the bees for a while. As middle school students, I’m sure you’re aware of
the fact that sex makes babies and you’ve probably heard of STIs (sexually transmitted
infections). You may feel like you don’t need any more information about sex but I’m
willing to bet there are a few important details you haven’t heard before…

We are proud to be drug free!
At the Hope Pregnancy Center we offer
free pregnancy testing. Of the girls who
had a positive test last year, about one
third said they had been using some type of
birth control, 1 in 3! Don’t forget that SEX
MAKES BABIES.

DID YOU KNOW
Younger girls are more likely to
get an STI than older women?
Females have a cervix as part of their
reproductive system. This cervix is what
holds the baby in the uterus. The cells of
the cervix aren’t fully matured until about
age 25 so an STI could occur much easier in
a young girl.
