PREGNANCY

DID YOU KNOW…

• 1 in 10 sexually active teenage girls get pregnant each year.
• A girl can get pregnant the very first time she has sex.
• Condoms only reduce your risk of getting pregnant or getting a girl pregnant by 60-70%.
• 1 in 3 condoms fail when used by teens!
• Oral birth control is over 95% effective if used EVERY day AT THE SAME TIME!
  • Most teen girls on birth control do not take it every day at the same time which can actually INCREASE your chances of becoming pregnant.
• The highest rate for unwed pregnancy is in the age group of 20-24.
• If a guy gets a girl pregnant, he is responsible for child support and if it is not paid he owes interest or he could go to jail!
• If you are trying to decide rather to have sex with someone, look at them and ask yourself if you are willing to have AT LEAST an 18 year commitment with them…because that is what it would be if you had a child together!
• And guys…pregnancy is NOT just about paying money it is about being a good father.
  • And being a good parent is HARD WORK!
