Instructions: In class, we have been discussing the benefits of choosing abstinence related to your physical, mental, and social health. For some, Abstinence ‘Till Marriage is their goal. For others, delaying sexual activity until they are more mature and
responsible is their goal. As you look at your own personal brainstorm list of the physical, mental, and social benefits of
Abstinence, you will be creating your own ATM card that reflects your own beliefs, attitudes and /or values on this topic.
You are encouraged to be creative and original, using text, pictures, color, and graphics to make it personalized. The only mandatory
things that must appear somewhere on your card are the letters “ATM,” and a place for your signature.
