What's bad about abstinence?

Expert: Abstinence is the best way to live your life.  You do not have to worry about getting pregnant at a young age and when you do not want to have a baby.  You also do not have to worry about getting a Sexually Transmitted Disease, including HIV.  There is also the social and emotional sides of sex that teens do not always think about.  Abstinence saves you from the heartbreak that can sometimes come with sex too early.  You might feel pressure within yourself to want to have sex, but if you practice self control and do not put yourself in pressure situations, then you will find that abstinence is a great lifestyle.  For more information, please see the "Teen Faqs" portion of this website: http://www.ftic.org/teenfaq.html.

do you come on your period while on depo?

Expert: Some women will stop periods after awhile of being on depo. It really just depends on the individual.  Some will have very light periods, spotting, etc. However, not having a period can also be a sign of pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant you should take a test and see your doctor.
