Busting Myths and Building Bridges: Podcast 15!

This week’s podcast focuses on two recent articles and our newest initiative: the Birds-N-Bees Text Line! The Text Line is a free service where teens can text their questions about sex, STIs or relationships and we’ll respond with 24 hours with the best medically accurate advice we can give. It’s free, but standard text message fees apply.

Edit: I'm sorry to have to do this, but this service is only available in North Carolina, so I'm forced to edit this post to remove our number. If you're a teen in North Carolina you can still see our adverts on MySpace. Look for the ads on the right side of the page!

In other news, the Healthy Youth Act is now online and you can read the text of the bill here. Call your senator and representative and let them know that you support this bill!

And last, but not least, links:

You can check out the new show here. Until next time, keep up the good work!
