Birth Control: Doing More Bad Than Good for Women and Young Teens Everyone thinks of birth control as a way to have sexual intercourse without any worries or consequences. Those people are wrong. There are so many things that can go wrong even while on the pill, and some women don’t realize that.

As she grows into a young adult, a parent begins to contemplate ways that will solidify her future by protecting and preventing “mistakes” that we as parents made when we were the same age. The goal is to give her a fighting chance at achieving her goals without unnecessary struggles. One of many decisions would be…

A DNA fingerprint, therefore, is a DNA pattern that has a…

In the United States approximately half of all pregnancies are unplanned, and half of those pregnancies occur in women between ages 16-24 years old (Kavanaugh, Frohwirth, Jerman, Popkin, & Ethier, 2013).
