Abstain From Sex- Young Teen Boys

County: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2021
This indicator shows the percentage of male public school students in grades 6-8 who have never had sex.

Why is this important?

Refraining from sexual intercourse is the only 100% proven method of avoiding pregnancy and greatly reduces the chances of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or HIV. Although movies, media, and peers may make some adolescents feel like 'everyone is doing it,' the numbers show that, in 2013, more than 90% of middle school males in Hawaii had never had sex. The rate is the same for middle school females in the state. Abstaining from sex until one is physically and emotionally prepared is a healthy choice that reflects maturity and forethought.
