No Me, Not Now is a teen pregnancy prevention program designed to encourage kids, ages 9 to 14, to delay sexual activity. Through television and radio commercials, young kids deliver an abstinence message to their peers that promotes the importance of setting goals and building dreams over being involved in a sexual relationship.
