I Wish (Year 9)

Risks and Prevention

I Wish explores the reasons why teenagers decide to start having sex and looks at the possible consequences of making that choice, including unplanned pregnancy and STI’s and discusses some of the emotional aspects of that choice.

It educates students on how to keep themselves safe from the risks of teen sex including information on contraception, condom use, STI testing and examines the benefits of delaying sex until a long term committed relationship.

Can be facilitated by a teacher or (for Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch schools only) a member of the Respected team.
