Thirty-four percent of teenage girls in Maine become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 -- about 820,000 in one year. Eight of each ten of these teenage pregnancies are unintended and 79 percent are to unmarried adolescent girl. A recent study in Maine has shown what we parents have long suspected: that coverage the sexuality on television is directly related to the initiation and occurrence of sexual activities in teens. By the report 13 percent son of teens mothers are deaths in a prison while teen daughters are 22 percent more likely to become teen mothers themselves.
As a parent, let your teen know that you take sex seriously, that you are not afraid to talk about it and that you will be there for them no matter what. This is sometimes all that we can do and the good news is that it is often enough.
