A member asked:
Is it true that cheerleaders increase the rate of teenage pregnancy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They may!: With the modern undisciplined view so often held by adolescents, cheerleaders may well evoke sexual stimulation and thoughtless action. This is not to criticize cheerleaders, it is a comment on our hedonistic culture.

NO: Cheerleaders do not increase the rate of teenage pregnancy. Unprotected sex in teenagers does. Lets not unfairly blame a group of athletes for a societal problem.
