The answer is BIRTH CONTROL! It not only prevents teen pregnancy, but it empowers both women and men! Today we are lucky to live in such an advanced world so of course we should take advantage of that! (Pictured above) Is all the types of contraceptives available out there, like the pill and the shot (depo-provera) for women, and the condom for the male. There are organizations like Planned Parenthood who administer these contraceptives to young people for free, without any parental signatures. Now what could be easier than that? Also, a very important part of birth control that many of us forget is abstinence. Both women and men must feel equally confident to say "no" when they feel pressured. In my previous post about education, if our young teenagers are educated before they act on their sexual urges, they can be thoroughly informed and self-assured to just say no. They will not feel like everyone their age is doing it and that it is the in, or cool thing to do. The first picture features a woman who has the confidence to stand up and even after taking her regular birth control, also tries a new type of contraceptive that is related to Plan B. Everyone makes mistakes and even if we choose to engage in sexual activity at a young age, there is another type of emergency contraceptive (Plan B). Confident women and men choose to make the right decisions and thus lead a better lifestyle with more opportunities.
