I find these posters to be gut-wrenchingly horrible. They are designed to scare teenagers into taking precautions against pregnancy by demonizing teenagers who get (someone) pregnant. The way in which teens are portrayed in these images suggests that the organization, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, doesn’t care about teenagers, only in controlling their behavior.
Each poster is followed by its text.
“I had sex so my boyfriend wouldn’t REJECT me. Now, I have a baby. And no boyfriends.”
“Now that I’m home with a baby, NOBODY calls me anymore.”
“All it took was one PRICK to get my girlfriend pregnant. At least that’s what her friends say.”
“Condoms are CHEAP. If we’d used one, I wouldn’t have to tell my parents I’m pregnant.”
I want to be out with my friends. Instead, I’m changing DIRTY diapers at home.”
