TECHNIQUES OF SAYING NO

How will you define abstinence? Have you
experience giving up one thing in your life
in one-week period? Try this with a
partner or classmate. Choose one or two
from the activities.
A. DEFINING ABSTINENCE

1. Refrain from doing any of the following
activities: watching television, eating a
particular food, or playing a particular
game or sport for one-week period.

2. During that time, make a daily log of
your experience about being
“abstinent” in your diary.

3. After a week is up, you and some of
your classmates will meet in small
groups and share your feelings and
discoveries.

Answer the following questions in a small group.
a. How hard was it to abstain for the entire week?
b. Did it get more or less difficult as the week went by? Explain.
c. Did friends or family members try to tempt you during the time period?
d. How did you handle the pressure?
e. In your own words, try to define the words “abstinence” and “sexual
abstinence.”

Marta, 15 years old, wants to finish her
schooling without delay and give her full
attention to helping her parents in their
business. She has a close friend Jonathan, 17
years old, who invited her to attend a party
with their friends.
B. SOME THOUGHTS ON ABSTINENCE

Marta knew that this group of friends has
been drinking alcohol and using drugs. She
knows that using drugs and alcohol affects
one’s ability to make decisions regarding
sexual behavior.

This means that when a person uses drugs or
gets drunk, his/her ability to think clearly and
wisely can be affected. So, he told Jonathan
that in order to avoid getting infected with STIs
such as HIV/AIDS they must refrain from doing

risky behavior that may tempt them to have
undesirable sexual activities. She was able to
convince Jonathan to stay away from this
group of friends who engage in unhealthful
practices. Jonathan realized that abstinence is
a good way to avoid getting into trouble.

Their classmates, Peter and Joanna, have also
chosen abstinence. They promise to abstain
from sexual behavior because they would like
to keep their purity until marriage. Instead,
they focus on their studies in order to prepare
for their future together.

Racquel does not engage in sexual behavior
because she would like to protect her
reputation and that of her family. She believes
that risky sexual behaviors will only bring her
shame and guilt.

Apparently, Noemi wanted to abstain from sex
because she chose to obey her parents’ advice
to be modest and respect her body.

All of these young people have different
reasons but the end result is the same- they
have chosen abstinence and they are all proud
of their decision.

Complete the chart with the required
entries. Write your answer in your activity
notebook.
