With ceaseless pressure facing young people, there is a great need to provide direction and solutions. It is up to us all to help teens learn how to deal with sexual pressures intelligently and responsibly. However, offering help is not enough; we help teens help themselves by illustrating to young people and their families the benefits of abstinence until marriage while teaching them character-building tools.

About Better Choices is essential to Normandy School District's effort to provide children and teens with the necessary knowledge to make responsible, educated, healthy decisions regarding premarital sex, alcohol and drugs. The Normandy School District partnered with the St. Louis County Health Department in 2001 in order to promote and provide age-appropriate, parent involved abstinence and character education in school and community settings.
