Contraception

As some teens may choose to become sexually active, it's important for them to be given the proper information. No parent wants his or her child to experience an unplanned pregnancy or exposure to a sexually transmitted infection. That's why teens need to be informed and know to choose and consistently use dual protection (e.g. condoms and the pill) to protect against pregnancy and STIs. Ultimately, the choice is theirs to make, but as a parent you can offer your support and guidance to help them make healthy decisions.
