StayTeen.org
StayTeen.org – Stayteen.org is a website that has information about teen pregnancy, sex, love, and relationships. Here are some facts provided by StayTeen.org:
# Three out of ten teenage girls in the United States get pregnant at least one before age 20 — that’s amount to 745,000 teen pregnancies each year. Shocking right?
# The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world — twice as high as in England or Canada and eight times as high as in the Netherlands or Japan.
# Two-thirds of all teen pregnancies occur among 18-19-year-olds, but that doesn’t mean that you’re immune if you are under 18.
# Almost 50% of teens have never considered about how a pregnancy would affect their lives.
# Parenthood is the leading reason why teen girls drop out of school. Less than half of teen mothers ever graduate from high school and fewer than two percent earn a college degree by age 30.
# Children of teen mothers do worse in school than those born to older parents — they are 50 percent more likely to repeat a grade, are less likely to complete high school than the children of older mothers, and have lower performance on standardized tests.
# Pregnant teens are far less likely to receive timely and consistent prenatal care than those who get pregnant at a later age. The children of teen mothers are more likely to be born prematurely and at low birthweight and are two times more likely to suffer abuse and neglect compared to children of older mothers. Teen mothers are also more likely to smoke during pregnancy, and often teen mothers are not at adequate pre-pregnancy weight and/or do not gain the appropriate amount of weight while pregnant.
# Two-thirds of families begun by a young unmarried mother are poor. More than half of all mothers on welfare had their first child as a teenager.
# Teen mothers are likely to have a second birth relatively soon — about one-fourth of teenage mothers have a second child within 24 months of the first birth — which can further impede their ability to finish school or keep a job, and to escape poverty.
# Eight out of ten fathers don’t marry the mother of their child. These absent fathers pay less than $800 annually for child support, often because they are poor themselves. Children who live apart from their fathers are also five times more likely to be poor than children with both parents at home.
# The daughters of young teen mothers are three times more likely to become teen mothers themselves
# The sons of teen mothers are twice as likely to end up in prison.
That’s all we have for now on StayTeen.org.

Just a quick comment, I watch The Secret Life of an American Teenager and I always see the little video at the end that talks about being aware of teens getting pregnant and says to find out more go to stayteen.org. I am currently in college going to school to be a nurse and am doing my OB/PD rotation. I have a term paper and decided to foucus on Adolescents and Sexuality since there are currently 3 TV shows that involved pregnant adolescents. I am really disappointed about the information that you have up, not for myself and for my paper but for the teenagers who watch these shows and are interested in finding the facts and not trying to become another statistic. You have a few facts listed and that is it. How about some videos of girls who are teenage mothers, teens who have experienced STD’s or have contracted HIV? This is what they need to see, this is reality. And how about some information on sex education or places to seek help or guidance. Also how about supporting those teeenage girls that are pregnant or teenage mothers, they need a social network to reach out to. This was all done out of love for teenagers staying teens, please do not take this to heart. Thank-you and I hope to see an improvement when I come back to visit the website in a few weeks. Take care.

I’m a 15year old girl still in 9th grade and I am 7and a half monthes pregnent.I tryed sex for the first time and i thought i would not get pregnent but i am. so if you think you will not get pregnent the first time it can happen so always use protection.

Billie Jo, i just want to ask you two things. what got to having sex in the first place? and didn’t you use protection?. If you’re wondering what the first question means then here. I’ve had many boys, and all of them wanted to have sex at all time. They always acted like they cared asking me nicely if I’m ready. But any way the fact that we go to school and around you everyone is just talking about sex makes you want to have it too. so what

I’m 12 years old and I have a father who doesn’t live with me but i am an a/b honor roll student and my mother had me out of wedlock and were are not poor. I guess what I am saying is that I thought this page was about love,sex,and relationships not about some very untrue information but I am going to stay a virgin until I am married.

Really in a forest? That’s disgusting. I’m 18 and still in collage. I can’t believe that some of u girls want to have sex at 14.I bet some of u teenage girls aren’t in a serious relationship yet. Your virginity should be a girt to someone u love, not to throw it out there. And u think protection will really prevent it? yes it may reduce ur chance but hey guess what condoms break. My best friend had protected sex and the condom broke and had a baby at 13. it isn’t fun wait till ur older it will be worth it.

I know some guys are assholes.U know what if they’re going to leave u because u don’t want to have sex with them they aren’t worth you or anyone other than a school slut for that matter.
princess I’m glad u know better my friend obviously my friend didn’t but she promised she won’t have it again till marriage. Trust me i know a lot of assholes in collage and been to spring break and never had sex. Good job princess.Again they aren’t worth u or anyone if all they want to do is have sex.That just means they are a MAN WHORE. (just saying)

Hi.
Im 13.And im a christian, so sex before marrige is a sin. I am also sad i have no examples in my family,every one had sex before they got married. all i have is my cousin;shes 16 and shes waiting too.My ma got preg twice when she was 14, she had abortions:(. then again wit my big bro at 16, she married his dad and they moved in wit his parents, then had my older sis at 17 when my ma graduated. her and thier dad split, he took my bro, she took my sis.my bro had a pretty good life out here, while my mom was strug out on drugs, leaving my sister to take care of herself at home. things got better when my sis turned 13. my mom had me late at 32.
Im staying a virgin until I’m married
so i can be examples for my 2 nieces, and my little cousins(cause their parents sure arent!)they all are only ages 1-4 so they got a while.
Sex is sacred, plus the law of god until marrige
u go princess! im in the line of worth the wait too.
Remmeber, choose abstinence!!<3
oh and if a guy cares for u enough he can wait as long as possible 4 the young woman in his life.
