Though teen pregnancy is on the decline, there are still many young girls and boys who need help balancing the responsibilities of high school and parenting. The HELP Center of Athens, Texas offers a program called PEP (Pregnancy, Education and Parenting) where young people can find the guidance they need.

"According to the center, the PEP program is a dropout prevention program for pregnant and parenting teens... The program offers help during the academic year to anyone enrolled in a Henderson County school and actively attending."

Teen parents meet twice a month with a PEP counselor where they can discuss parenting, career goals and hopes for the future. The center also provides daycare so the parents can continue attending school. Read more at AthensReview.com.
