With ceaseless pressures facing young people, there is a great need to provide direction and solutions. It is up to us all to help teens learn how to deal with sexual pressures intelligently and responsibly. However, offering help is not enough; by illustrating to young people and their families the benefits of abstinence until marriage while teaching them character-building tools, we help teens help themselves.
Abstinence the Better Choice, Inc. (ABC) has made it our mission to teach children and teens virtues that equip them to make responsible, educated, healthy decisions regarding premarital sex, alcohol and drugs. ABC incorporated in 1994 in order to promote and provide age-appropriate, parent involved abstinence and character education in schools and community settings.
As the owner of Responsible Social Values Program and C.A.T.S. (Concerned About Teen Sexuality) programs, we reach children and teens nationally through character-driven lessons of respect, self-control, honesty, courage and responsibility.
Both C.A.T.S. and Responsible Social Values Program are "Title V" and "Community-Based Abstinence Education Programs" eligible. Many groups throughout the country are using the funds to operate either C.A.T.S. or Responsible Social Values Program.
A letter from a student:
"I would like to take the time to thank the girls that came to talk about C.A.T.S. I totally agreed with everything that everyone said. I think abstinence really is freedom & kids in high school should not be having sexual intercourse. Guys do tell girls they love them just to get in their pants but you have to be strong enough to say no. I have had to do this a few times because that's all they wanted from me. I respect my body & I said no. I signed up for C.A.T.S."
