Lesson 20. Don't get carried away by the occasion.
Christmas? Done. New Year's? Done. Good, we can relax.
Not so fast! Because another big occasion looms, and it seems to be getting bigger every year. Valentine's Day is becoming commercialised and romanticised like never before. The pressure to be the most romantic person on the planet can cause young people in love to go further than they want to, and I don't just mean with their credit card debt from the florist. Of course romance is wonderful, but in the hands of someone giddy with the hype of it all, it can lead to unplanned pregnancies. Yes I'm being alarmist, you'll probably be careful and just get an embarrassing lovebite. But for those with less self control, why don't you wear this shirt that says A baby is for life, not just for Valentine's Day. Unlike flowers and chocolates, you can even use it again next year.
