I have been on St.Croix USVI from since I was born. I did get my first pregnancy at age 14, then another one at 15 and my last at 19. I have learned my things through out the past 6 years of my life & have learned most things the hard way. I do hope to be able to help others teens from going into pregnancy as young as I did.  Yes, everything turned out well for me. I got married 6 years ago. Much girls don't get that luck & end up having more problems than what I had. I would like to get involved in guide teens here on taking a right or at least a safe path to what now society see's as a normal teen mom. I do believe that more should be done & plan to try to do something about. I have already started speaking with a senator about the issue.
My problems here comes in when I do want to do something about it on this amplify website & I am not able to since St.Croix or the Virgin Islands are not listed. That has my hands tied & hopefully some one could help me find a way around it. I am getting fustrated. Any one that could help, let me know.

Hey, here are some resources you could use for starters:

You could start an action around this on this page: 

Create your own alert.

Also I would encourage you to keep blogging and sharing the your story and what you see around you because that is also good for raising awareness.

Is this what you were looking for? If not email AMPLIFY and I am sure someone will get back to you and point you to some resources.

Good luck!
