Girls less likely to get pregnant if a friend has a baby Girls whose friends have experienced teen childbirth are less likely to get pregnant themselves, a new study suggests. The researchers compared two groups of teen girls: those with a similarly-aged friend who'd given birth, and those with a friend who'd had an early miscarriage. They wanted to see whether these events affected the girls' choices in having sex, getting pregnant, having a child, and getting married as teens — or their choices regarding school, marriage and family as adults.

 With Coercive Control, the Abuse Is Psychological Lisa Fontes’s ex-boyfriend never punched her, or pulled her hair. But he hacked into her computer, and installed a spy cam in her bedroom, and subtly distanced her from her friends and family. Still, she didn’t think she was a victim of domestic abuse. “I had no way to understand this relationship except it was a bad relationship,” said Dr. Fontes, 54, who teaches adult education at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. It was only after doing research on emotional abuse that she discovered a name for what she experienced: Coercive control, a pattern of behavior that some people — usually but not always men — employ to dominate their partners.
