Teen Pregnancy
Pregnancy can often take teens by surprise. For some, the news may be welcomed, while for others, the situation may be much more complicated. Before making any decisions, it’s important to know what options are available, and how to deal with the particular issues that might arise from this potentially sensitive situation.
Of course, ideally teens will take a more proactive role in learning about the consequences of unprotected sexual activity before such a situation arises. Do you know what puts you at risk of becoming pregnant?
