The Child-to-Child Primary Health Readers have been developed to teach and encourage primary school children in Africa to become concerned with the health and general development of their pre-school brothers and sisters and other children in the community. This book focuses on the problems of teenage sexuality and highlights how adults and children can help others at this important time in their lives. It tells the story of 13-year-old Freda who thinks she is old enough to start a sexual relationship. Her guardians are too busy with their own lives so it is left to Freda's brother and sister to think about her future - a future that would be ruined if Freda became pregnant. The story helps children understand the risks of becoming pregnant at a young age and provides a self-motivating way to help them learn about the dangers and consequences of sex before marriage.
