If you've already been sexually active, is is never too late to make a different choice. Those who have decided to choose abstinence after being seuxally active list the following as top ways for those who want to choose abstinence:
Make a commitment to start over. List the reasons you are choosing to change and be willing to stick to your decision. Surrond yourself with healthy relationships not destructive relationships.
Find out who your supporters are. Once you have made the decision, share your commitment with friends and family who will support you and not pressure you. Find friends who provide positive peer pressure to help you reach your future goals and dreams.
Communicate. Tell the people you date about your commitment to abstinence. Talk about how you plan to stick to it. Make a decision to only date those who will respect your decision to wait because you are worth it.
Set boundaries. Set limits on your behavior and communicate those limits so you don't go too far physically.
Focus on your future. When abstinence gets difficult, remember your future goals and the reasons you have chosen to start over. Remember what your past decisions brought you after the fact
