May is Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month! 

Because teens have been making better decisions about sex, the teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. has plummeted by one-third since the early 1990s. That is truly amazing.

Unfortunately, recent news is not so positive. For the first time in 15 years, the number of teens having children is on the rise again and we need your help to turn this troubling trend back around. A great way to start is by getting smart about the risks.

Ask your teens to take
THIS QUIZ and found out how knowledgable they are of teen pregnancy prevention!
