The month of May means a lot of things...Prom season is upon us, school is almost out...AND it's Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month. Obviously, we're pretty excited about that last one and so are the members of our Youth Leadership Team. We asked them what kinds of things they'd miss out on and if their lives would change if they became teens parents. Check out their collages to see what they thoughts.

I think the phrase "changed my life" gets thrown around too much. It takes a lot to turn a life around, something huge. In the past 18 months, my life has made a complete 180. I've gone from a slump to a peak faster than anyone else I know. Here's five moments from my Youth Leadership Team experience and how they changed my life.
5. Going to Washington, DC. Over my YLT term, I’ve been to our nation’s capital three times. Crazy right? This...

People talk a LOT about sex...who's having it, who isn't having it, and everything in between. And that got us wondering about people who have had sex...

Before flying to Washington D.C., I had never been on a plane or flew anywhere. I was terrified and didn’t know what to expect. To top it off, I had to fly by myself. Then to think I am going somewhere that I would be with other teens that I didn’t even know made my nerves even worse.

Relationships—for the good or for that bad—take up a LOT of our time. And we all know that nobody is perfect, which got us to thinking: what are the biggest mistakes that GUYS make in relationships?
...so we asked real teens to tell us what they think are the biggest mistakes guys make in relationships (don't worry—we've got a video on girls' mistakes too!). Check out their responses below and then tell us what you think in the comments or on Twitter (@StayTeen...
