November 18, 2011 The birth rate for teenagers fell 9% to 34.3 births per 1,000 females aged 15-19 in 2010, the lowest level ever reported for the United States according to Births: Preliminary Data for 2010, released yesterday by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

WHY SHOULD TEENS USE CONDOMS

  Because if you want to have sex with someone, they're important! Sex can be great, but there are risks involved. Aside from all the emotional issues, you can catch STIs, and a woman can become pregnant. So if you don’t want to deal with these really tough situations, a condom is vital! Should the decision be left only to the male Some people think it's the man's job to make sure he uses a condom, some people think contraception is up to the woman.
