It can be scary, finding out you are pregnant.
Unintended Pregnancy - Age 11-14
Teenagers are discovering sex, whether we are happy with that or not. The potential consequence of sexual relationships is pregnancy. As students start secondary school then they are made aware of this in PSHE lessons. This quiz, written specifically for KS3 aged children in years 7, 8 and 9, looks at the consequences of unintended pregnancy, as well as some of the support and options available to teenagers who become pregnant.
Unprotected sex is a risky business. Not only are you in danger of sexually transmitted diseases, there is also the chance of becoming pregnant. But mistakes happen. What can you do if you do become pregnant? What are your options and what support is available?
This quiz looks at how to avoid unwanted pregnancies and how to cope with them.

2 .
Are babies born to teenage mothers more or less likely to be premature?
