Why use contraceptives?

You should care about contraceptives because if you are sexually active and you are not using any contraceptive every time you have sex, your risk of becoming a parent is high. 

Contraception allows you to put off having children until your body are fully able to support a pregnancy

Here are several reasons to use contraceptives:

• You are sexually active but don’t want to get pregnant
• You want to have sex without worrying about getting pregnant
• You are in control of preventing unwanted pregnancy

Do you want to prevent pregnancy and an STI? Then the girl should use contraception, such as the pill or IUD. And the boy should use a condom.
