Hi Swigg Girls

I was just watching the news and there is this school in Memphis where over 90 girls have gotten pregnant in one school.  Can you imagine the dilemmas of being a teen mom, including trying to go to school, pay for the baby and have a life?  It's not fair, but, let's face it, as girls we are responsible for standing up for our own bodies and making sure we are protected either by avoiding situations where your body will be compromised or by taking action by visiting the doctor and finding precautions.
