Teenage Pregnancy

BY BART SMITH, AUTHOR OF B.S. THE BOOK

"The United States has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and births
in the western industrialized world. Teen pregnancy costs the United States
at least $7 billion annually. Keep reading for more interesting facts on
teen pregnancy statistics." – PregnantTeenHelp.org

Are you shocked by these statistics? That's not all … Children are now experimenting with sex when they’re 11, 12 and 13 years old. Young teens are planning hotel parties in chat rooms on the Internet. Teens and young adults are "hooking-up" at an alarming rate. Some young adults have up to 25 sexual partners before they turn 21. For teens, the number can be more than ten by the time they turn 18. Yikes!

This isn’t the kind of subject parents and their teenagers like to discuss, but it is in fact a reality and total B.S. Youth is about growing up and learning about life. Youth should not be about facing the emotions of a mature adult while being a teenage parent at the same time.

Young adults need to learn more about sex today than just "how to use condoms." They need to "know sex now" … By that, I mean "having knowledge of sex" and the consequences that go along with having sex at an early age. What happens to you emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically and financially when you engage in an activity geared exclusively for mature adults?

Having "knowledge of sex" beyond what they teach in schools and on television is required now! See www.KnowSexNow.com for more information on the matter of educating our younger generations about sex now!
