Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month

/

Did you know that May isTeen Pregnancy Prevention Month? I didn't either, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that. One goal in starting my blog was to reach teens and help prevent them from becoming a teen parent, like myself. 

Parents, are you having "The Talk" with your kids? What are you saying to them? How are you starting the conversation? 

Know The Facts:

3 in 10 teen American girls will get pregnant before the age of 20

More than 50% of teen moms never graduate from high school

Less than 2% earn a college degree before the age of 30

25% of teen moms have their 2nd child within 24 months of their 1st

8 out of 10 teen dads won't marry the  mother of their child
