Along with Teen People magazine, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy set out to change this by asking teens directly what they would say to other teens about preventing pregnancy. The advice in this pamphlet is based on suggestions offered by readers of Teen People . The Campaign's own Youth Leadership team and teen visitors to the Campaign's website also played a key role in making these tips what they are. As so many of you have made clear, the teen years shouldn't be about pregnancy, parenting, midnight feedings, and diapers. We hope that you find these ideas useful and perhaps see your own views and opinions reflected in them.
Sex is serious.
Make a plan. Some are, some aren't and some are lying. Protecting your feelings is one of them. You're in charge of your own life. Don't let anyone pressure you into having sex.
