It's a new month and you know what that means, right? New health observances. Yay!

Fibromyalgia Education and Awareness Month. National Arthritis Month. Lyme Disease Awareness Month. And let us not forget Food Allergy Awareness Week and National Brain Tumor Action Week. How come food allergies and brain tumors only get a week?

May is also, of course, Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month and May 6th is our very own National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Beginning today, we hope that teens, parents, teachers and anyone who cares about young people will get involved online. Throughout May, teens are encouraged to visit our teen website -- StayTeen.org -- to take our National Day Quiz, which challenges them to think about what they would do in different risky sexual situations. In addition to the quiz, we're also offering an online widget mini-quiz (you can grab it below) that stresses the importance of healthy relationships. Teens can add this quiz to their profiles on websites like MySpace and Facebook and enter a contest to win free plane tickets or a free iPod Touch. I'll bet you the Fibromyalgia people aren't giving away free iPods...

With so many different issues vying for attention during May, it can be so easy to just not do anything.  Don't just observe Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month.  Get active. Visit StayTeen.org and take the quiz yourself. Talk to every teen you know about pregnancy prevention and tell them to take the quiz and grab the widget. Tell them that we're giving away some cool stuff.
