Teenage pregnancy is a social problem that is not fixed by sexual education or abstinence but a overall buildup of a person to lead a healthy life with a healthy self esteem to make good choices in life.
motherhood is a large issue in society. Circumstances contributing to the increase in teenage pregnancy will be examined along with ways that teenage pregnancy can be reduced. Several current programs and methods to reduce teenage motherhood will be studied for their effectiveness, as well as the current public policy. Various ways to increase their effectiveness will also be studied with possible recommendations. With a belief that programs that contain abstinence will have the greatest effect on a person’s behavior.
The only sure way to prevent an STD is to not have sexual contact with another person.
If sex occurs, there are things that can be done to decrease the risk of contracting STDs, such as:
Remember that STDs can be contracted through oral sex and genital and skin contact.
Ask the partner if he or she has or had an infection or any symptoms that could mean infection. If he or she has, avoid sex and have them make an appointment with a physician.
Limit the number of sexual partners.
Use a condom correctly every time vaginal, oral, anal and genital sexual contact occurs.
Avoid risky sexual practices, like anal intercourse. (Sexual acts that cause even small breaks or tears in the skin can increase the risk for STDs by letting germs in and out more easily.)
Visit a health care practitioner for screening and prompt treatment and get rescreened when there is a change in partners.

Why are the last five questions you asked all asked in the same way? How come you only answered one question in four months? Why have you been on Yahoo Answers since September 2006, but you only have 70 points?
To answer your question - it is unprotected sex, the effects are varied, and yes it can be prevented.

You don't know what causes pregnancy? Idiot. Even my 6-year-old daughter understands this.
