Teen pregnancy is in the forefront in the news. It seems that everyone has an opinion about what is appropriate behavior and what is not. Some choose to condemn, others err on the side of grace.
All the attention could be a great time to talk to your teen about sex. Not sure how to talk to your teen or need some help?
Try these two helpful resources:

Talking to your teen about sex may seem overwhelming and scary, but just like any other difficult lesson, it must be taught. You, as a parent, influence your teen's decisions even if you do not feel you do. So talk to your teen often and keep the lines of communication open, as it depends on you.
Arm yourself with helpful resources, pray, and get talking.
