Just for Girls
YOU LIVE IN A BUSY WORLD THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING. It can be hectic at times—dealing with the stress of school, activities, sports and even your home life. You may not know it, but you have a goal you’re working towards. You’re on a journey to becoming a person that is strong, independent and willing to work for a better life. There are benefits to staying on track and reaching toward your goals. A major study revealed that if a person completes three specific achievements in order, they have a 98% chance to avoid living in poverty as an adult. Those three things are: earn at least a high school diploma, maintain a full time job and wait until marriage to have children.1 This is called the “Success Sequence.” So how can you ensure these three things are met? This might sound crazy, but it’s simple: avoid sexual activity until marriage. As you read the articles and testimonies in this edition of Just for Girls/Just for Guys, you’ll see how sexual activity hampers your goals with physical and financial roadblocks. 1 Haskins, R., Sawhill, I.
