When a teen decides that they wish to become sexually active, protecting themselves from teenage pregnancy should be of extreme importance. Despite what some may say, a female can become pregnant at any time of the month, again, any time. Also, even though some people may say so, using the ‘withdraw’ method is not a form of birth control. Sperm can enter into a female long before ejaculation happens. People who are engaging in sex must use a method that is proven to be effective. Condoms are not 100% effective, but can be a good choice. Likewise, it is best if the female communicates with her parents and/or doctor and takes birth control medication. If a pregnancy does occur, it is vitally important for teens to tell their parents. This is a responsibility that a teen should never try to handle. For the health of the expecting mother and the baby, healthcare is very important from the beginning of the pregnancy to the end. If a teen is afraid and tries to hide the pregnancy, it is a huge mistake. Help is everywhere and not be afraid to ask.
