Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month

May is Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. In Guilford County, we have much to prevent.
We continue to have a teen pregnancy rate that parallels the State rate and the State is the ninth worst state in the nation (53 out of every 1000 girls ages 15-19 gets pregnant in Guilford County). Each day three teenagers get pregnant
in Guilford County and these pregnancies know no ethnic boundaries - each ethnic group is vulnerable and teen pregnancy is an equal opportunity threat for all. Talk with your children about their own sexuality- don't just say "don't do it." Mom, Dad you had sex and your children know it. You still have sex. Why can't you talk with your teens about it.
