Teenagers in Doncaster are being encouraged to list 101 ways to show love without having sex on their prom night. In a refreshing change from the ‘take a fist-full of condoms’ approach, NHS Doncaster has launched an ‘It’s Your Prom Night – Get it Right’ campaign. The campaign aims to encourage youngsters, aged between 15 and 17, to discuss ways of expressing their love. Suggestions put forward by pupils have included going for romantic walks on the beach, writing a poem and sending flowers. The campaign is an attempt to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies in the borough. Bronwynn Slater, of Doncaster Primary Care Trust, said: 'Prom night can be a very special and emotional occasion for teenagers and they often want to share these moments with their boyfriend or girlfriend. But there are lots of different ways that they can show their feelings for each other without having sex’.
Pray: that this campaign will prove successful and set a new path for attempts to reduce teenage pregnancies. (1Co.13:4-7)
