Teen Pregnancy Rates Rise During Summer

Summer is a time for cookouts, grilling, and -- unfortunately -- teen pregnancies. Pregnancies among teenagers typically rise during the summer months, mostly because teens have more free time and are less supervised.
[Psychotherapist Mary Jo] Rapini says a simple way to keep your child from becoming a parent before they are ready is to get and stay involved in their lives. She says parents who share their lives with their children and who show interest in their kids' lives are less likely to have a teen who becomes a parent. (Source: MyFox Houston)
Teenage girls who feel alone or isolated are more likely to engage in various types of risky teen behavior, including sex. Staying connected and aware of what your teenager is doing, and who shes with, can help prevent this type of behavior.

Worried that your teen daughter's unhealthy attitudes and inappropriate behaviors are leading her down a dangerous path? Take a moment to learn how a wilderness program can help teen girls get back on track toward a happy and healthy future.
