Wednesday, May 5th, is the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Despite recent declines, about 35% of teen girls in the U.S. get pregnant at least once before they are even 20-years-old. That results in about 850,000 pregnancies per year.

Just saying "no" should be enough; however, people try to pressure others into doing stuff they know is not right for them.

I'm a little concerned about bauhaus' response and hope he understands the gravity of his words. I also want to voice my avid support for YouthNOISE's involvement in "National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy".

I became a father just days after my 18th birthday, and I am now living as a young parent in college. I wouldn't give my child up for the world, but my message to 'younger' youth is this; intercourse can wait.
