ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention |
Do you know anyone who would take a seat on an airliner without a clue of where it was going? Have you heard about girls who voluntarily sentence themselves to 20 years to life of hard time and their cases never went to trial. What about other girls who blindly decide to spend everyday depressed, looking terrible, dependent, cursing the day they made their big mistake. These are the teen moms suckered into living a have-not lifestyle.
If you are searching for teen pregnancy prevention lessons that provide a realistic look of what sexually active teens can expect from life, you have found it. This four-book series contains all the basic information teens with high-octane sexual curiosity must learn before they even think of experimenting with sex. ARISE Teen Parenting Program is called Sprouts because it takes a lot of loving to grow little sprouts. The ARISE evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention material provides memorable, step-by-step lessons in simple English (and Spanish). The ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program deals with the realities of making babies and all that is involved in raising them. The goal of these lessons is to provide girls with not only good practical reasons to postpone sex, but how their social lives, their bodies, and their future aspirations crash once they are saddled with babies, possible disease, lack of education, life-long poverty for mother and children.

| ARISE Sprouts: A Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program |
Since 1996, this four-book series of teen pregnancy prevention material has been taught to female delinquents confined in juvenile justice facilities with documented results; many are moms already — old, tuned out and turned off, totally disillusioned at 18 or 19. What we hear over and over again from these teen mothers is, “If I had only known.” This is why ARISE developed these extensive teen pregnancy prevention lessons. When you see firsthand how many young women never had any idea of how sex, babies, abandonment, disease, and a casually broken heart could wreck their lives. The young women who enroll in the ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program learn how the lives of promiscuous teens burdened with abusive relationships, health and financial problems that turn teen lives upside down no matter how cute and cuddly a baby can be.
These young ladies involved in learning the ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention lessons become tuned–in to the danger signals that lead to trouble on life’s roads. Uneducated, unworldly girls become smart girls who refuse to detour from the safety of what they have learned in the interactive ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention groups. Through this program, girls become knowledgeable in the ways of the world, able to disregard those who have feelings of selfishness and are totally self-centered, understanding in the end we seal our fate by the choices we make.
When girls learn in advance the debilitating effect pregnancy has on their young bodies and the responsibilities babies bring (particular to single mothers) the smart ones say no way! The reasons most often given by teens for choosing to have an abortion are being concerned about how having a baby would change their lives, feeling that they are not mature enough to have a child, and having financial problems. Hello! Why not avoid that whole aggravating situation by considering the consequences before experimenting with premarital sex or entering risky relationships? This is exactly what ARISE Teen Pregnancy Prevention lessons can accomplish. Girls enrolled in this intensive, never boring program understand that raising kids is huge so they wait until they are smart enough to make the right decisions, like investing in a solid education, choosing a good man, mature enough to understand all that’s involved in building a relationship, and the personal benefits that accrue to those who make a lifetime marriage commitment.
