Are you ready for the responsibility?

Now I understand that by the time you are in high school, less and less of your friends are no longer virgins. Now I get it, you find someone that is very attractive and well, you know the rest. Now I'm not knocking teenagers having sex, I just want to say if your going to do it, protect yourself.
Everyone knows that teenage pregnacy is nothing new to the North America. With shows like 16 and pregnant and movies like The pregnacy Pact.
But I want to voice some of my opinions on this topic.

1. If you are sexually active it would be best to protect your self from STDs and getting pregnant. (As in have a contraceptive to block the possible chance of both.)
2. Don't get pregnant on purpose in hopes that your man will stay with you. Trying to trap your dude by getting pregnant is f**cked up. He has future plans, and it doesn't include being a "baby daddy".
3. Getting yourself checked is a must. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have become sexually active it would be a smart idea to get yourself checked by a doctor. Preferrable every six-months. Just in case you catch something, you will probably be able to stop it before it is too late. And lastly,
4. Try to stay abstinent. Condoms only have a 97% effective in prevention of pregnancies and STDs, but abstinence is 100% effective.

Getting pregnant at such a young age increases the chance of being a single parent. And raising a child on your own can be very difficult. Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to the mother and the baby. Often, teenagers don't receive timely prenatal care, and they have a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications. Risks for the baby include premature birth and a low birthweight.

If you are a teenager who is having sex, remember to protect yourself, and possible your future.

Well thats all for today.
