SMART Youth Sex Ed- Contraceptives 101: Mo' Babies, Mo' Problems
This week at SMART Youth, our very
own Christina Rodriguez presented Contraceptives 101: Mo’ Babies Mo’ Problems,
based on a blog post here in November 2012.
She highlighted all of the contraceptive options available to youth, including
both immediate and long-term solutions. In addition, we learned how to
access each of these methods, any side effects they may have, and the relative
cost of each one.
We also played Contraceptives:
True or False in which we debunked several contraceptive myths, including the
myth that being on the pill will definitely cause you to gain weight. Although
all of these methods are effective at preventing pregnancy, many of these
solutions do not protect against STI’s, so it is still necessary to wear a
condom!
Lastly, we discussed details for
the Halloween party, including catering options and prize selections. In the
end, the group decided on a variety of heavy appetizers in place of one type of
food (Italian, BBQ, etc.), and after a very spirited debate and vote, costume
contest prizes will include gift cards from Target, Crumbs Bakery, and more!
