Publisher's Synopsis
I was once a teenager and if I had this book "Teenagers BEWARE! (Birth Defects)" it would have informed me on the major hazards that faced me in my life. Maybe I could have avoided them. Tips in this book are to educate the young people of the twenty first century. Therefore they will be forewarned about their future in life. I was compelled to write this book after observing High School teenage girls of today getting pregnant at an alarming rate. However, girls can be faced with so many temptations like smoking, alcohol, drug use and sexual pressures. It is important for girls to realize such behaviors can result in unplanned pregnancy, and with unhealthy lifestyle choices could result in premature birth.Even if the baby does survive being born prematurely, there is a high chance of lifelong illness. This dilemma could have been prevented if there were mandatory sex education in the schools starting in the sixth grade on Sex and Consequences classes; driving home the Safe Sex is No Sex practice until they are married and responsible adults to raise a family. This book, "Teenagers BEWARE! (Birth Defects)" should be a preventive tool to inform all teenagers of the hazards they are faced with in their daily lives. Tips in this book are to educate the young people so they will have knowledge. Topics included in this book are: Teenage Bullying Sexual Responsibility Sexual Promiscuity Sexual Orientation Sexual Transmitted Diseases Living with Herpes Teenage Obesity Teenage Marriage and Divorce Teenage Eloping Birth Defects Therlee Gipson"
