To that end, the resources on the TeenSource.org website are provided for your personal education and entertainment. Please understand, however, that this website is not a substitute for in-person medical care. Nothing on this site constitutes a diagnosis or recommendation for any specific medical treatment, nor does TeenSource.org make a warranty of any kind about the appropriateness of these resources for individual on-line visitors. It’s your job to be smart about your health and your life. Educate yourself with reliable information about sexual and reproductive health, and be sure to visit a qualified health care professional or clinic whenever necessary for personal medical evaluation, counseling, and services.

All information is based on current health information and education resources.

It is your responsibility to implement sufficient safeguards, procedures, and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a procedure outside the TeenSource.org website for the reconstruction of any lost data. Use of the TeenSource.org website and the Internet is at the visitor’s own risk.
