May 6th is the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy!
Posted May 04, 2009 at 11:29 AM

Did you know that three out of ten girls get pregnant at least once before age 20?  That’s more than 750,000 teen pregnancies each year! Too-early pregnancy can have physical, emotional, and economic consequences for teens and their children, so it's important to know all the facts and know how to protect yourself.

That's why Stay Teen and It's your (Sex) Life are teaming up for Teen Pregnancy Prevention month to raise awareness about the importance of making smart decisions about sex and relationships, and practicing safe sex every time if or when you do decide to have sex (check out their videos for more on why you should always use protection!)

Visit Stayteen.org to take the National Day quiz now or to get involved in National Day activities, and go to It's Your (Sex) Life to learn more about taking control of your (sex) life!
