“My favorite aspect of Girls State was hearing Nancy Redd speak,” said Hines. “She was extremely inspirational and she encouraged us all to follow our dreams, respect ourselves and never give up. She is from Southern Virginia and attended Harvard. She also competed in the Miss America pageant. Her story made me realize that girls from small towns can go on to do big things.”

Hey everyone!

If you’re an early riser, check me out this morning on NBC’s TODAY Show!

My segment should air sometime around 7:35AM EST in most markets but this may vary depending upon where in the country you are.

I’m a contributing editor and the body & sex expert for CosmoGIRL! magazine, and in the August issue I wrote a feature on how it seems that more and more teen girls are finding pregnancy and motherhood ‘glamorous’ and are admitting to trying to or actually becoming pregnant on purpose, either to be like their celeb idols or just ’cause.

This week has been a doozie regarding teenage pregnancy. First, the arrival of Jamie Lynn’s daughter, then the introduction of friendship-based ‘pregnancy pacts.‘ I’m honored to be part of this discussion and hope to help create better and more appropriate solutions and support for today’s teens.

When interviewing young women for Body Drama, I noticed that they were much less freaked out by the idea of pregnancy than I was when I was in high school, and this attitude made me curious, leading to my “Pregnant on Purpose” article for CosmoGirl!.  Find out more July 1st when the August issue hits the stands…

I’ll post the video soon!
