My name is Maria and I'm 18. I grew up in Holyoke, but about 2 years ago my family decided to move to Boston. It was hard to leave my friends in Holyoke, but since then I’ve made some great friends that I love to hang out with. So, you’re probably wondering why someone my age is so into sexual health, right?

This is my best friend Kimberly. She's dating Josh and he's really great, but sometimes they have unprotected sex and that really freaks me out.
