- A Resource About Teenage Pregnancy
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Each year more than one million teenage girls become pregnant in the
- United States.
- One out of ten girls will become pregnant at some point during teen
- years.
- For many it means the end of their dreams and plans for the future. So
- far most educational programs about teenage pregnancy have been focused on
- teenage girls. However for every young mother there is a young father. While
- the consequences are less dramatic for the boys than the girls, research has
- proven that most boys would certainly avoid getting a girl pregnant. Now a
- new campaign from the American Academy of Family Physicians and the College of
- Obstetricians and Gynecologists targets the neglected half of the teen
- pregnancy problem, teenage boys. Since, more than anything else, the cause of
- this unintended epidemic is a lack of information, these two respected
- organizations have joined forces to bring accurate, responsible information
- about preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases to those who need
- it most. The brochure " Straight Facts for Men About Sex" is available to all
- who request it. Send your request, along with a stamped, self addressed
- business size envelope to "Straight Facts" P.O. Box 4999, Chicago, Illinois
- 60680 for your copy. It is available in both English and Spanish language
- versions. There is no thinking teenager, or parent or grandparent or teacher,
- who can not find good use for this brochure, nor more important information
- they could have.
