Personal responsibility is key.

There are a lot of reasons for teenage girls to not be having sex - only one of which is possible pregnancy.


And no, I personally do NOT believe that contraceptive pills are the best choice. A girl who's not responsible enough to effectively use other forms of birth control is not apt to be responsible enough to actually take the pills.

Add that to the possible long-term side-effects, and you've got what could be a very very serious problem.
