Know what is best for your body
Your body is your most valuable asset; recognizing this is the first step toward taking charge of your health. As you progress through adolescence, you must remain knowledgeable about the changes you are experiencing and how to care for yourself, particularly your sexual and reproductive health.
Understanding your sexual and reproductive anatomy, as well as how your body functions, is essential for maintaining optimal sexual health. It could help you:
Understand what’s going on with your body and know what’s normal for you.
- Ask questions about what’s happening with your body.
- Tell other people about what’s happening with your body or what you want to happen, like how you do and don’t want to be touched.
- Recognize when something is not normal for you and when you might need to get sexual health care.
