Abstinence only programs are used in the middle schools <br />to help students develop skills to resist pressures to become sexually active. Students participate in role-play to <br />practice assertiveness techniques. Parents are involved through a take-home assignment intended to open <br />lines of communication. High school teens explore the potential physical, social, emotional and financial <br />consequences of teen parenthood through our "Baby Think It Over" program. Other life skill topics focusing on <br />healthy life styles and decision making are presented in schools, churches and community groups. <br />
