Activities

Every teenager has dreams and aspirations. Getting the newest CD, finishing high school or buying a car. A car … you know the kind, a beautiful, fast, red convertible that you can cruise around in on Friday night. One with all the options, a CD player, leather seats, a computerized dash, chrome wheels and a baby in the back seat. WHAT? A baby in the back seat? For many teens, the "dream car" is not an option because they become parents earlier than they had planned. Having a baby is a big deal. It impacts the rest of your life, sometimes in ways you might not have thought. Cruise through http://www.teenageparent.org/english/engindex.html Web site to learn how to avoid those dangerous curves!

Baby Budget!

Baby Budget #2!

Click the above links...

This is a brief insight into the costs of having a baby. You might not need all of the items listed, but this is the "recommended" shopping list for new parents. There are also additional costs not listed, like going to the doctor, etc. How many CD's or movie tickets could you buy for this amount? How much money would you need to earn a hour, a week, a month to be able to afford a child?

*All figures used for calculating the costs of raising a baby for a year are based on average prices from three discount chain stores. You may find prices near you to be slightly higher or lower.

Chart of Teen Pregnancy

This only takes 2 secs... This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't. 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change directions. I told you so...And there is nothing you can do about it. Make sure you pass this on. Others won't be able to do it either.
