Voices Carry: Teens Speak Out on Sex and Teen Pregnancy

Abstract:
Voices Carry is the third in a series of reports from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy that offers real-life observations on important perspectives in preventing teen pregnancy. This report gathers the insights of a broad cross-section of teens, including: Teen People magazine's trendspotters, a network of more than 7,000 readers aged 13 to 21; the National Campaign's online weekly survey for teens; the National Campaign's Youth Leadership Team; and formal and informal focus groups. The bulk of the publication contains direct quotes from teens answering questions which include defining sex, media messages, parental communication, youth involvement, premarital sex, birth control, and pregnancy. The publication also includes information about how youth can get involved in preventing teen pregnancy. This question and answer format provides those engaged in working for youth causes an idea of what teens are saying about these issues.
