Birth Control / Pregnancy
According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy nearly 3 in 10 teen girls became pregnant before the age of 20. Many of these pregnancies are unplanned, bearing health and socioeconomic risks for people and their communities.
If you believe you may be pregnant, it’s important to make an appointment to get tested by a health professional as home pregnancy kits are not always accurate. In Washington State, teens, 13 and older do not need a parent’s/ legal guardian’s permission to be tested for pregnancy or STD’s, or to access birth control methods. If you are pregnant, seek emotional support from someone you trust, and talk with a medical professional about your options.
