2 Couples, 2 Scenarios |
| Lisa (15) and Paul (16) ... | Roisin (16) and Chris (16)… |
|
Paul
has had a burning sensation for a while now when urinating and is scared
it may be a sexually transmitted infection. Lisa
doesn’t feel great. The Pill she’s on has made her put on weight and
she feels nauseous and tired. She
is thinking about an abortion. How will she get the money, will anyone
find out, is it painful, will she have to go through it alone? Both
feel guilty about hiding things from their parents and miss how close
they used to be. Lisa
doesn’t know whether Paul really loves her. They don’t talk
anymore, all he seems interested in is sex. How will he react if she is
pregnant? She doesn’t know. Paul
has noticed a change in Lisa recently and isn’t sure why. He suspects
she might be pregnant. He is really scared. He likes Lisa but knows he is
not ready for the commitment of a baby. Lisa wonders why she has put herself through all of this - for a guy who doesn’t really seem to care that much about her! |
They feel it is important to develop friendships outside of their own relationship. They
are free from the emotional hurt often associated with underage sex -
especially if the relationship ends. They
have
no fear of sexually transmitted infections. If they do notice anything
wrong they are reassured that it is unlikely to be anything serious. There is no chance of an unplanned pregnancy, so they are free from all the worries and difficulties this would cause. They are free to concentrate on developing their friendship slowly and at a pace that suits them both. Both
can concentrate on their school studies in preparation for going to
university or getting a job. They are strong and independent people who know what
they want from life. They enjoy life and feel great! |
