7. Teen pregnancy dealing with
abortion
We cant really do anything about trying to make
abortion illegal. The only thing that will happen if
we do so is make many people angry. The only
way we can get the rate to decrease is if
YOUNG TEENS DO NOT GET PREGNANT!!!!!

8. Goes Back to the Cause of Teen
Pregnancy
The lack of information on safe sex
Teens are not taught the methods of birth patrol
Peer pressure from their peers that force them
to have sex before they are ready
Lack of Parental Guidance
School slack in teaching about sex (not enough
information)
The problem poverty affects teens the most
because of these reasons.

9. Ways we can stop Teen Pregnancy
 The government should add more teen
programs that include learning about students
problems such as sex, peer pressure, problems
at home, and etc.
 This is important because if you help teens learn
more about sex education and diseases that are
out there, it can prevents teen pregnancy to
decrease. Not only that but a lot of sexually
transmitted diseases, and also drop the rate of
abortions.

10. How to be safe

11. Our Memorial
• We will start a program called TEENZ
MATTER that will be every year on the
week that leads to mothers day in
every school. It will be a school
play/performance that will tell a story
about young teens and things they go
through. Each year is going to be a
different story. There will be guest
speakers that can relate to the story
for that year. This will be during
school, but there will also be one for
the teens and the parents that will
have fun activities to do, will have the
stories, have a little cook out for all to
enjoy and be able to donate money for
the statue that will be built of a young
teen pregnant teen. This statue will be
located at school and at the bottom
that reads “TEENZ MATTER”

12. Why
We chose the little heart symbol because we think teens should love
and respect themselves. To us it shows a symbol of courage and
being able to make the right decision. In any situation teens come
upon…..
We also chose the week leading to mothers day because of young
teen mothers so they can be known and not be judged of being a
young teen mother……

14. HELP US HELP TEENS
We need the right to have a voice and be
able to know everything about sex
education we need to know to be able to
make the right decision. Remember the
only 100% way to prevent teen pregnancy
and sexually transmitted diseases is
DO NOT HAVE SEX!!!!!!
