Scenario

Susan’s little sister, Joy, is in eighth grade this year, and Susan and her mom are concerned about some of her behavior. Last week, Susan overheard Joy and her friends talking about sexting, and this weekend Joy wants to go to a big party where there will be lots of older guys. Since Joy looks up to her, Susan wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with Joy, but she knows that Joy might be uncomfortable talking about sex and its consequences. Susan decides to write Joy a letter instead. Susan is taking a health class at school, and they recently completed an extensive unit about the consequences of sexual behavior.



Imagine you are Susan. Using information we have covered in this unit, write a letter to Joy. Be sure to define abstinence and explain why abstinence is the safest choice for students. Also, select at least two of the STIs that we have studied this unit. Summarize the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the STIs you select. As you write, keep in mind that you are writing a letter to your younger sister. You want her to have the facts, but you also want her to feel that you are sharing the information with her because you love her.
