· A chronology documents the teenage sex and pregnancy controversy as it has occurred over the past century
· Discusses in detail many popular images and fears, including internet predators, "hooking up," "sexting," and media-driven teen sexuality

Book Description
Surprisingly, in light of popular belief, pregnancy among younger teens in the United States is at the lowest levels ever. Perhaps even more astonishingly, the best studies show teen motherhood is not socially costly and may even be economically beneficial for certain poor populations, and a lot of press panics about teen sex turn out to be myths. How do we separate truth from myth when it comes to this hot-button subject?
