    TEEN HEALTH: PREGNANCY & CUTTING
    I'm not sure this is a topic I've ever written about on this blog before, but after exchanging new magazines for old this morning, I came across this article in Girl's Life Magazine (Feb/Mar 2008, pg 60): When You Least Expect It. It was a good article, and I thought that with the rash of news articles on teen pregnancy (Jamie Lynn Spears, Juno, etc) and this years higher teen pregnancy rates, I'd mention it here along with some resources.
    TeenPregnancy.org
    Healthy Teen Network
    Planned Parenthood: 1.800.230.PLAN
    Library Resources on Teenage Pregnancy
    Library Resources on being Teenage Parent
    Short booklist on teen pregnancy and parenting
    "Karen: the editor's page" (GL)also has a quick commentary on teen pregnancy

    The magazine also has an article on cutting (pg 77) and teen self-abuse.
    Here are resources if you or someone you know is involved in that:
    1.800.DONT.CUT, sponsored by S.A.F.E.
    PSYKE.org
    Short short booklist on cutting

    Important stuff here. Take a little time to read about it.
