The JordanMiles Group

Mission Statement:

Not ‘til I’m Married will educate teenagers 13 – 18 about the gains to be realized by sexual abstinence.  To aid in the reduction of teen pregnancy rates of teenagers  by instructing abstinence education classes.  Also to aid in the reduction of sexually transmitted diseases of teenagers  by advocating abstinence until marriage and finally aid in the education of parents on effective communication skills regarding abstinence.

Did you know that over 90% of teens believe that it's important that they get a strong message about waiting to have sex? In fact, 60% of teens who have had sex wish they had waited longer and 75% don't see anything embarrassing about admitting that they're virgins. Clearly, teens in the 21st century are recognizing merit in putting off sex and the consequences - both physical and emotional - that are attached to sex.

Some things to keep in mind about waiting:

• Over half of all teens are not having sex, and of the half that are, most regret it and wish they had waited.
• Unfortunately, the half who aren’t sexually active sometimes think they’re the only ones because they've bought the #1 Sex Myth: everybody’s doing it.
• Moreover, some teens lie about having sex...when you think everybody's doing it - and you know you're not - lying can seem like the easiest option.
• We also know from surveys that boys show significant respect—though often unspoken—for girls who resist pressure to have sex and remain virgins.
• It's hard to believe, but most first time sexual relationships are romantic but short-lived. Eight out of ten first time teen sexual relationships last 6 months or less and one-fourth are one-time occurrences.
