===I chose the topic Teen Pregnancy because now-a-days there are kids in high school that got pregnant at the age of 14. Teens are having sex earlier now, and sometimes being pregnant comes with those consequences. Mostly 1/3 of women get pregnant in their teen years. Being pregnant now is become a new fad in the media. I don't think this is right to promote our kids in this way, even though the media feels like their just warning them. ===

__﻿Top 5 Things I Learned: __

 * ===﻿1 in 3 teens will become pregnant before the age of 20.===
 * === In all teen pregnancies 57% of them end up in birth. ===
 * **There has been an estimate of 750,000 teens that will become pregnant.**
 * === Pregnant teens are less likely to complete high school, only 1/3 would receive high school diplomas. ===
 * ===More than 80% of teen pregnancies are unintended and unintentional.===

=== 1. This slide show is useful on how teen pregnancy is a big cause and why it is happening. It shows some good charts on what race shows more girls pregnant and in general how many girls get pregnant each year. I found this site on Slideshare and I rate this as a 3/5 because some of the information is very interesting like on why girls get pregnant. ===

=== **2.** ﻿I found this CBS news on youtube and it's about these girls, no older than 16 yrs. old, who made a pact to get pregnant. We blame it on the economy, our home life and just growing up too fast. These days girls are crazy to get pregnant when their just teens,in my point of view, thats why I am rating this a 4/5 for being a good story. ===

=== 3. The media looks like it is promoting teen pregnancy, and this shows Sarah Palin's daughter pregnant at 18 yrs. old for example. I found this video on yahoo and I give this video a 5/5 because it is true more media is promoting it and that is wrong. ===

===﻿﻿﻿ 4. After 14 straight years teen pregnancy has been on the rise and some schools aren't having it. This video shows one school in Michigan, which the principle denied a student for bringing the child in school because it seems like she is promoting it. It may seem like she is promoting it but what can she do about it? I give this video a 2/5 founded on google because it has a good point but there isn't much about what is teen pregnancy. ===

** 5. I found this site on google, which maybe really helpful for new teen moms. It talks about choices you could choose of adoption, abortion, or parenting. I like how it gives you stories of real people and examples of how your life may go if you choose to have a child or not. So I give this site a 5/5 because there is a lot of information you can learn. **

===6. ﻿﻿﻿﻿I was not able to get the embed code on teachers.tv but I thought this video was great because it has a lot of information about teen sex and pregnancy. They talk about Europe but I think this can be related everywhere because it is a big debate. I give this video a 5/5 because I got so much out of this like how sex is supposed to be about respect. ===

===7. ﻿On Slideshare I found these slides which was very useful. I never knew 57% of girls would give birth, that is a really high number! I give this slide show a 3/5 because it has some useful information but it the whole thing just doesn't appeal to me. ===

===﻿8. ﻿This is a commercial I found on youtube which got me really mad and thinking. Now this is what the news is talking about when they say the media is promoting teen pregnancy. I give this video a 4/5 because even though it doesn't talk about pregnancy it states that you can be hot and pregnant at the same time which is wrong. ===

===﻿9. ﻿This is another commercial I found on youtube that I think is funny and true at the same time. There is a baby who states the facts to his mom, a teen mother, about having a child. This takes place in the UK which I think the child's voice is funny, I give this a 4/5! ===

=== 10. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">﻿I found this on youtube which I thought it was hilarious because it looks like their promoting teen pregnancy with barbies. It is just a commercial and I give this a 5/5! ===
