Sex, babies and STIs


What would you do? TheSite asks some random people.

Douglas

Douglas, 17 What would you do if your girlfriend told you she was pregnant? I'd talk about it, talk about the options and work out what is best. And then run. Joking (laughs) If she wanted to keep the baby I'd try and persuade her not to, not because I don't want to but because I'm too young. Then try and live with it. Would you know where to go and get checked for STIs? Hospital.

Carolyn

Carolyn, 19 If you thought you were pregnant would you know what to do? I'd run straight to my mum! What do you think the most important reason for wearing a condom is? So you don't get STDs or get pregnant.

Peter

Peter, 16 What would you do if your girlfriend told you she was pregnant? I would probably stick by her, panic for a little bit and then like talk to someone about it. Would you know where to go and get checked for STIs? Doctor, clinic.

Lucy, 16 If you thought you were pregnant would you know what to do? I'd go to the family planning clinic. What do you think the most important reason for wearing a condom is? Stop diseases, stop getting pregnant.
