Planned Parenthood Launches New Web Site for Teens: teenwire.com
 
NEW YORK - February 18 -
WHAT: Press conference

  • Large-screen on-line demo of teenwire.com
  • Teens available for comment
  • Launch/lunch celebration

    In real life, real teens need real answers. So Planned Parenthood has created www.teenwire.com , the safe place in cyberspace about sexual health and relationships, where teens can get the real story. A place where teens can ask real-life personal questions, and get responsible answers. Fully confidential. Open 24 hours. Worldwide. Playing at a modem near you.

WHY:
Teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections are still widespread problems for America's young people. Although sexuality is a routine theme of the entertainment and news media, most teens have had no reliable, easy-to-access source of responsible information about sexual health. Until now.

WHO: Gloria Feldt, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America

Monica Keena, Dawson's Creek's Abby
