Can teens be good parents? That's the big question raised tonight by NBC's The Baby Borrowers as five teenage couples take part in a reality TV social experiment that lets them experience life in fast forward.  They are given nice homes and a brief parenting class, and then real life babies care for thanks to volunteer parents (some of whom were teen parents themselves). 

 

Over the next six weeks, you'll get to watch as each couple deals with the drama, surprise, challenges, and rewards of parenting in ways that are riveting and intense. As NBC says, "It’s not TV, it’s birth control!"

 

Don't miss the premiere of The Baby Borrowers tonight at 9PM ET/PT on NBC. To learn more For more information on NBC's The Baby Borrowers, visit http://www.nbc.com.

One out of every three teen girls gets pregnant at least once before they reach age 20.  And the number one reason teen guys and girls give for not using protection is that they weren't planning to have sex and that it "just happened."  The National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, which is May 7th, is designed to get you thinking about how a pregnancy might affect your life and to help you come up with a plan for avoiding pregnancy.

 

You can start thinking about how you would react in various risky situations by taking our National Day quiz. We also have some easy ways for you to get people in your school involved in the National Day:
