					<description><![CDATA[Some pretty awful things can happen during adolescence. One of these tragedies is an unwanted pregnancy. I believe that parents need to &#8220;get real&#8221; about the risk that their child could get involved in an unwanted pregnancy. Think about it: At puberty, kids begin developing adult bodies, and they experience powerful sexual desires. But they [&#8230;]]]></description>
