With May being Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month and all, it got me to thinking about sex. Sex has been a fad for a while now, pretty much since the beginning of humanity. With the exception of one historical figure, it’s how we all got to be here. 

So, this isn’t 14^th century England and you’re not betrothed to your best friend’s older brother. There’s no rush to get married, and some people aren’t even doing that anymore! So, why rush the whole parent thing, too? Right now there’s no expiration date on when you can have kids, and let’s face it, are you more excited to change a diaper or find a date to prom? I think we all know the answer. 

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…

Teen pregnancy is an issue all around the world. It is especially prevalent in cities and other metropolitan areas. Recently Mayor Bloomberg launched a campaign in New York City with the goal of trying to lower teen pregnancy rates. Although teen pregnancy rates in New York City have gone down 27% in the last decade, Mayor Bloomberg spent $400,000 on this new campaign. Now, normally, campaigns promoting proper comprehensive sex education, helping teens have access to birth control, and giving teens the knowledge to avoid becoming pregnant, seem like the appropriate way to approach the issue. However, this new campaign shames teen moms in a public fashion, and to me this is alarming.
