Re: What to do if you become pregnant -

I like what you have written so far! You said you want to expand on this, so I'm not going to make any edits yet, though I do have a few suggestions.
I think it might be helpful for you to talk a little about what to do if you don't know who the father is. I don't know what can be done in that situation, if anything, but it might be helpful to mention it somewhere.
Another thing that could be mentioned is how to tell people in your life, whether it's your parents, friends, or the father. You do talk about telling them but some tips on how to go about it since it causes a lot of anxiety might help. Edit: I forgot that you did include tips on how to tell them. Since you're aiming this toward teens, you might want to mention how to deal with any kind of bullying at school in regards to the pregnancy.
I also thought of discussing becoming pregnant from rape. I've seen some posts about that lately, though this might be better suited to its own article. I'm just kind of thinking aloud with this suggestion.
I definitely think you could find a statistic with the average cost per year of a baby. I think that will come across as more informative, rather than making it seem like one option is better than another. If you need help finding something on it, I can look around.
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
