    By using excellent writing, compelling pregnancy statistics, and teens’ own voices this site successfully drives home the message that it’s OK to be a virgin. Without preaching or blaming, it offers all the right reasons why kids should "stay teen" -- carefree and unencumbered by early parenthood -- until adulthood.

  • Consumerism0
    Somewhat confusingly, the site refers to the videos that teens can create and upload as "ads," we assume because they can be considered promotions for sexual responsibility. The site actually is advertisement free except for two banners for educational TV programs about teen pregnancy.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking0
    Not applicable.
  • Privacy & safety2
    There are no site moderators or filters. However, teens can use the site without identifying themselves or sharing any personal information, and the site will remove posted videos or comments at the request of the owner. There are no parental controls.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this nicely done educational site is sponsored by the nonprofit organization National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. The nonpartisan, secular advice is sensible and straightforward. To help spread the message that abstinence is cool, the site features videos for teens made by teens enjoying their high school years without the complications of young parenthood. Just beware that a few young visitors have used the site to leave glowing comments about teen motherhood and post photos of themselves with their babies.

TEEN DREAMS
i think that teenagers have lots of imaginations which they can't live without and they have dreams, wishes that they want to share with people who are interest but those people are difficult to find.....
