Did you know that 750,000 teens will become pregnant this year? It's a surprising — startling — statistic, and a reminder that we have a lot of work to do to reduce the number of teen pregnancies.
That's why Planned Parenthood is proud to introduce Teen Talk [3], a new section of Planned Parenthood's website dedicated to providing teens with answers to difficult questions — and providing tips and guidance for parents and caregivers who could use a little help initiating the conversation.
Whether you're a parent or an educator, a big sister or brother, or just a caring mentor, Teen Talk [4] has tools you can use and share to help protect the teens in your life.
Teen Talk [5] offers animated videos to help you teach your teen about how pregnancy happens, and it's where you can find a breakdown of what children need to know and when. There's even a special section for teachers with everything from curricula to program evaluation tools.
