This article focused mainly on the use of images to reduce teen pregnancy and spread awareness of alternative options and sex education. After the abstinence-only policy in schools, there was a need to educate teens on alternate routes. Instead of teaching abstinence only, the images stress planning ahead, using your brain before making a decision, and evaluating the costs of those decisions. Overall, I think they did a good job of presenting their claim, but the article was short and it would have been nice to be able to read more about how the images are being taken and what positive or negative effects are the result of them.

Social Images against Teen Pregnancy

In this article, three different images are used in an effort to persuade young teens to make wise choices when engaging in sexual activities. After President Bill Clinton’s efforts to provide a heavily funded campaign against sex before marriage, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy Organization was founded. However in contrast to Clinton’s efforts to promote “abstinence only” curricula, this organization focuses more on providing education on how to minimize chances of becoming pregnant and making wise choices when presented with a sexual situation.
