Pregnant & parenting youth are not looking for our approval, but THEY NEED OUR ACCEPTANCE! When children have babies, the consequences are felt throughout society. They need our help. They need our support & assistance. With our help, their mistake can result in a blessing! If we do not address the issue, the cycle will continue & these kids will not be able to reach their full potential. ~ Promote Abstinence ~ Mentor & Provide Education ~ Render Support ~ |

STATS
- Nationally, 8 out of 10 girls who become pregnant at age 17 or younger never complete high school.
- Teen pregnancies are a special problem because of the increased health risks to the baby and the negative social consequences for both mother and baby.
- According to national data, during FY 1996--the year for which the most recent data is available-teen childbearing costs taxpayers more than $38 billion. A report from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy indicated that nationally, $2,831 was spent per teen mother About $4.5 million was spent on Mississippi's teen mothers.
- Mississippi has one of the highest percentages of births to teens in the nation.
