Teen Birth Control: Doctors Urge IUDs And Implants For Girls


Teenage girls may prefer the pill, the patch or even wishful thinking, but their doctors should be recommending IUDs or hormonal implants — long-lasting and more effective birth control that you don't have to remember to use every time.

@12:11 Teens are having sex because... they are teens?

Just because you don't agree with it, you teach them different and you tell them it's best to wait... doesn't mean they won't rebel and make their own decisions.

Part of growing up is learning from your elders... another part is learning from mistakes.
