Abstinence, Contraceptives, and Emotional Health

Question 6 • FL-3026010-HOPE-Physical Education (Core) B-CR

Which person will most likely be able to abstain from sexual activity?

Answer

Isla makes jokes on social media about people who are sexually active to hint to her boyfriend that she is not ready.

Finn’s girlfriend wants to have sex, so rather than hurt her feelings, he tells her he will be ready soon, but not yet.

Emilia decides that if she flirts with multiple friends, none of them will think she is their girlfriend, thus avoiding any commitment.

Owen’s friends are all talking about sex, so he seeks out the help of the school counselor for strategies to handle the pressure.

Explanation

Owen is most likely to abstain because he seeks help from a counselor to develop strategies for handling peer pressure. Getting support and planning how to respond can help someone stick to their decision. The other choices rely on indirect hints or avoiding commitment rather than clearly preparing to handle pressure.
