Teens

You, or your girlfriend, is pregnant. Or maybe you're a friend wondering how to help.

You may be scared, confused, excited or numb. There are some pretty important choices to be made, with life-long effects. How can you make the best decision (or best help your friend) when you don't have all the facts?

Most teens are surprised to learn that they have incomplete knowledge -- or even misinformation -- about the choices related to teen pregnancy. After hearing about the facts included on this site, here's what a few students had to say:

"It really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I didn't know about."

"Everything I heard today made me think."

"I learned a lot about adoption and abortion that I didn't know."

We're here to help you learn the facts, sort through the options, and point you toward some resources you may need.
