Here are some excellent resources that I have found regarding the prevention of teen pregnancy.

For Parents:

The National Campaign to prevent teen and unplanned pregnancy lists tips for parents to help their children to avoid teen pregnancy. Here are some of the tips listed from this article:

  • Talk with children early and often about sex- there are a variety of age appropriate resources to assist in communicating effectively with children.

  • Supervise and monitor- I believe that this have to mean not letting your teen go out at all. There should be a clear communication of appropriate boundaries and rules, as well as consequences for not abiding by those rules.
