🛡️ Teen Boundaries, Consent, and the Law: What Teens Must Know About Sexual Misconduct *coming soon
Course overview
Lesson Overview

1.72 – Can You Be Forced to Parent?: No one can legally force you to raise a child against your will. Even after an assault or unplanned pregnancy, you still have options under the law. Adoption, guardianship, or safe-surrender programs exist for those who cannot parent safely. If you choose to parent, support systems can help you balance healing and care. If you don’t, there are legal paths to ensure your decision is respected. No one—including family, courts, or the attacker—can make you be a parent if you are not ready. The law protects your right to choose what’s best for your body and your life. Understanding these rights gives you control when others try to pressure you. Counseling and advocacy groups can explain every choice in private and supportive ways. If fear or threats are involved, report them to authorities or a crisis line. Parenting is a lifelong responsibility, and it should never begin through force or trauma. Every person deserves the freedom to decide how their future will unfold. You are not alone, and help is available to make sure your rights stay protected.
