Each week, hundreds of teens from across the nation visit the National Campaign's website, www.teenpregnancy.org, and answer our question of the week. Recently, we asked teens to tell us what their biggest unanswered questions were about sex, love, and relationships. Here are their top ten:
- When is it okay to have sex? How do I know when I'm ready?
- How far is too far for me - or for someone my age?
- Does my partner really love me? How do you know when you're in love?
- How do I say "no" without making my boy/girlfriend feel bad and without feeling pressured?
- Why do so many girls get pregnant when there is plenty of birth control information available?
- Why do teens feel they have to have sex before marriage? Is it to feel cool?
- Where can I find out about birth control?
- How can I ask my parents about sex - or tell them I'm ready to have sex - without them having a heart attack?
- How many teen girls get pregnant every year?
- Why don't parents and other adults stress abstinence as a way to avoid pregnancy?
