Why are so many teens getting pregnant?
I have been on this site for only a few months, in that time I have seen numerous posts that start of like this.
Hi, I am a teenager, I had unprotected sex, could I be pregnant, what do I do?
Isn't there sex education in our schools anymore. If so, what are they teaching them, abstinence? Obviously that isn't working.
I'm here to tell all you teenagers. Stop having unprotected sex. The only form of birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence (meaning don't have sex). If you have unprotected sex even once, you have a very high chance of being called Mommy in nine months.
I don't know how the rest of you feel about this, it just sickens me that there are so many young people who are potentially messing up their lives by having unprotected sex. Not to mention the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. What can we do about this growing concern.
Teens, I'd like your input to. What do you need in order for you to be prepared to make better decisions in your life.
