The choice to have sex brings with it the responsibility of becoming a parent. Regardless of whatever form of birth control you use, every time you have sex you risk getting pregnant (or getting someone else pregnant).
If you’re not ready to be pregnant, you’re not ready for sex.
Neither condoms nor birth control pills nor any other form of contraceptive are 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. In a single moment your life can change forever.
According to recent studies, one out of every three females in the U.S. gets pregnant at least once before the age of 20. This results in over 800,000 teen pregnancies every year. Three out of every ten of these pregnancies ends in abortion. Non-marital, teenage pregnancies are life-changing for the mother, father, child, extended family, and society as a whole.
