The objective of the Manzanilla Secondary School Young
Leaders Group 2013 Is:
•   To ensure that all youths are aware that they can ‘Be The
    Change’ and change the sexual awareness all around them.


We believe that change through the education of our peers is
  important and as a result we are all the Agents of Change
  against teenage pregnancy and the spread of Sexually
  Transmitted Infections.
In Trinidad every year approximately 2500 pregnancies occur with
    girls under the age of 18. (Newsday News Paper)


In prenatal clinic on a weekly basis there would be 15 new
    patients between eight to ten of these new pregnancies were
    girls under the age of 18.
Teenagers today have many reasons for having sex today some of
which includes:
•   Peer pressure
•   Wanting to experience what the y think everyone else is doing
•   Hormones
•   Some teenagers use sex as a means of rebelling against
    parental influences.
The process of gathering information for this project involved
questionnaires and interviews. This was done randomly from
form s1 to form 6 . 100 students took part in this from our school.


Through data analysis it is proven that 28% of the students are
sexually active and 28% of those students engaged in sexual
activities because of peer pressure.
Other trends that was observed are:
•   60% learn about sex at school.
•   16% of the students have multiple sex partners.
•   46% of the students are not well informed about STI’s.
•   90% think sex education is important in schools.
•   90% know s that using a condom is very effective in
    preventing STI’s and Pregnancy .
The most common consequences of teenagers having sex are as
follows:


•   Sexually Transmitted Diseases
•   Teenage Pregnancy
•   Mood changes
STD’s are infections you can get with some one who has it.The
more commonly STDs are:
•   Chlamydia
•   Gonorrhoea
•   Genital herpes
•   HIV/Aids
•   HPV
•   Syphilis
Pregnancy by a female, ages 13 to 19, is understood to
occur in a girl who is mentally immature.


In most cases of teenage pregnancy
one or both young parents are school
dropouts, because they have to take
care of their baby.
Do you want this to be you?
Students that have sex at an early age are more likely to have the
following issues:


•   Impatient
•   Aggressive
•   Lack of focus in school.
DOES GETTING A STI OR BECOMING
PREGNANT RUIN YOUR LIFE?

                              NO
You can be an agent of change for yourself or others:


  • Getting proper medical advice can make some STI ‘s
   disappear.
  • Use your story to educate others.
  • Teenage parents can continue learning through evening
   classes and other government programmes
THINK, ACT, BE SMART!
    KNOW YOUR
     POSITION!
   MAKE A CHOICE
 ABSTINENCE IS THE
        WAY!
