How would things change if they were parents for a day?
One of the best ways to prevent teen pregnancy is to talk about it before it happens.
Guys sort of play a big role in getting pregnant, so we think it’s time for them to learn a bit about this too.
Put a baby in their phone for a day. Get them talking about how life would be different if they were a parent.

Part of growing up means making decisions and sometimes hard life choices. It comes with the territory of being a teen.

*Disclaimer: The best way to prevent teen pregnancy is to not have sex (duh). Whether you choose to have sex or not, it's important to know the facts, so we've provided a list of different resources so that you can inform your own decisions.
Not having sex is the only 100% effective way to prevent teen pregnancy and STIs. There are a lot of reasons people decide to wait. Check out these resources to find more information on waiting for girls and for guys.
If you’ve decided to have sex, make sure to practice safely and responsibly in order to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, STIs and STDs. There are a ton of different ways to stay protected, so make sure to find the one that works best for you. Check out these resources to find out more on protecting yourself and your partner.
All states have different laws in terms of receiving sexual health services. For example, all 50 states allow minors to consent to STI services without parental permission. Check out this resource from the Guttmacher Institute to see what rights you have in your state.

Having a child is a wonderful thing for many people, but becoming a teen parent can have a big impact on your day to day life. By sharing this with your friends you can help them think about a subject that could use a bit more consideration.
We will send the Pregnancy Text to your friends’ cell phones. They will have the option whether they’d like to take it. We’ll never give out your friends’ info!
Your friends will be sent different situations they might be in if they were raising a baby. An example message would be: “FLARP. Was that a poop or a fart? One way to find out!”
The challenge starts the morning after you accept the challenge and lasts for one day. You’ll receive approximately 10 text messages.
In order to qualify, sign up and send 6 of your friends a digital baby.
Check out this resource guide for more articles and resources on teen pregnancy.
