UNIT 5, SOURCE
 Scenario 1
Dear Agony Aunt


Please help me you are only hope. I am 15 years old and I



have been going out with this guy for two years. We became
sexually active six months into our relationship. I did not
really want to, but I love him and did not want to loose him.
I did however manage to tell him that if we were have to have


sex, he must use a condom. He says that sex does not feel
the same with a condom, but I’m scared of falling pregnant,
or maybe even getting AIDS. I asked my best friend for
advice and she told me that if I want to hold him, then I had
better have sex without a condom. ( 5 minutes )
