PSA: Teen pregnancy: Myths and Facts

Scene

(Boy and girl making out in a car)

Girl: (pulling away) I'm not on the pill. I'm not so sure about this.

Boy: Hey, you know you can't get pregnant on your first time.

Voice-over: Fact -- you can get pregnant your first time. (Cut to picture of tired girl rocking baby in the middle of the night) (Teen sex -- pregnancy myths, 2012, Web MD).

Scene

(Mother, walking in a supermarket, talking to the camera)

Mother: Oh, I know my Janie. She's an honor student and she would never do anything without discussing it with me first. She's focused on her future.

(Cut to picture of girl and a guy making out with a pile of textbooks in front of them)

Voice-over: Fact -- "3 in 10 teen girls in the U.S. will get pregnant at least once before age 20. That's about 745,000 teen pregnancies each year" (Teen pregnancy, 2012, Stay Teen). That number includes girls of all levels of intelligence, ethnic groups, and areas of the country.

Getting pregnant can put a girl's academic future at risk. "Less than half of teen mothers ever graduate from high school and fewer than 2% earn a college degree by age 30" (Teen pregnancy, 2012, Stay Teen).

Scene 3

(Teacher putting away her books, talking to camera)

Teacher: Oh, my school district won't let us talk about birth control in health class. We don't want to give kids…ideas.

Voice-over: Fact -- statistics suggests the opposite. States with abstinence-only sex education have higher teenage pregnancy and birth rates (Abstinence-only, 2011, ScienceDaily).

Scene 4

(Girl, looking at the camera, sitting beside a Valentine's chocolate box in the shape of a heart, a stuffed animal, and holding an 'I love you' balloon)

Girl: If anything did happen, he would totally be there for me.
