  • I feel they need to address STD's as critical as pregnancy as a result of unprotected sex. Pregnancy is not the only outcome of unprotected sex , I wish there where more awareness on that as well instead of pregnancy being the primary focus. I understand that pregnancy is a major life change to a teen but their is always abortion. You cannot abort Aids , herpes, or hpv/warts that cause cervical cancer as well.

  • Sometimes accidents happen and teens do have unwanted pregnancies. But what if you could avoid the pregnancy? A law was approved for an over-the-counter morning-after pill to be available girls 17 years and older, but pharmacies are denying them. Please visit our channel if you're interested. 

  • I'm 18 and my baby boy was planned,plus I'm even married! Not all teen moms are bad, besides you see people of all ages being bad parents too.I don't understand why people have to be so judgemental when they don't even know these teens,so who are people to make any assumptions about a teen just because they have a kid? I'm currently 27 weeks and 2 days pregnant,my son is the best thing that has ever happen to me.Plus my husband is very supportive and understanding,not to mention he is my first.

  • Good video on teen pregnancy.

  • Very true and would prevent a lot. And parents don't forget to talk about the responsibility of having a child because some teens who have self-esteem issues may become pregnant on purpose because they feel otherwise they have no meaning in life.

  • Good Video, Thanks for sharing, Very Infomative.
