Trying to curtail the highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation, the Georgia Department of Human Resources teams up with the city of Savannah to help educate local teenagers on the ramifications of sexual activity. The campaign, called "You are Worth the Wait," promotes abstinence until marriage. At a press conference announcing the campaign, speakers include Alma Turner, director of Adolescent Health and Youth Development in Savannah, and Mayor Floyd Adams, Jr. A PSA video is shown as part of the campaign featuring teenagers rapping about abstinence.
