We are dedicated to protecting the sexual health of all teenagers by providing them with accurate information, the opportunities to explore and establish beliefs and attitudes, and the skills required to communicate their needs.

PPNNE believes that our sexuality is a fundamental part of being human, and that sexual development begins at birth and continues throughout our lives.  For children, adolescents, and younger and older adults, our sexuality should be a positive and healthy expression of who we are.

For those teenagers who are sexually involved, Planned Parenthood is committed to providing them with the resources for safeguarding their emotional and physical health.  For those teens who are abstinent or for those wishing to become abstinent, we are committed to providing them with the resources for withstanding the pressures they may feel to be sexually active.

Teenagers are confronted daily with sexual choices that require thoughtful decisions, and we encourage teenagers to involve trusted, knowledgeable adults in this process.  PPNNE envisions a world in which all teenagers base sexual decisions on a thorough understanding of their sexual rights and responsibilities, and all adults recognize that they must take an active part in helping teenagers develop this understanding.
