" Hey! Have you had a chance to check out the teen pregnancy story in the February issue (Vanessa Hudgens is on one side of the cover and Saleisha from America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model is on the other!). You guys were actually the ones who inspired us to write this piece. Back in July I posted a blog about how the numbers of teen pregnancy were way down. But then a TON of you had stories about how your sisters, your friends, your cousins, or you had been pregnant. So it really made me think about WHY you were getting pregnant. I think most everyone knows HOW you get pregnant, and birth control and condoms are available everywhere. Plus so many of you write into the magazine to say that you&amp;#039;re waiting until later to start having sex in the first place. So why aren&amp;#039;t the numbers of teen pregnancy down even more significantly? Wait till you read what we uncovered \u2014 the story is so moving \u2014 experts and real girls talk about what really happens when you make the split-second decision to risk getting pregnant.... Check it out and tell me what you think of the girls&amp;#039; stories. Earlier this week I met with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and they told me that: - 1 in 3 girls in the U.S. gets pregnant at least once by age 20.  - 2/3 of teens who&amp;#039;ve had sex by age 18 say they wish they&amp;#039;d waited longer.  - The younger you are when you first have sex, the more likely it is you won&amp;#039;t use protection and you will regret it later.  - 2/3 of teen moms never finish high school. Check out The 10 Things Teens Want Other Teens to Know about Preventing Pregnancy. So, what do you think? I&amp;#039;m here! XOXO "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
