Gossip Teen

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, who is currently single, attended a meeting on teen pregnancy prevention for National Teen Pregnancy Awareness Day in NY and spoke her mind about the difficult subject.

Hayden said: “I don’t think it’s something that’s talked about enough and I think that it’s just human nature to not realize the severity of an issue until it happens to you, until it directly impacts your life. And you go, ‘I’ll never get pregnant. It will never happen to me. I know it happens but it won’t happen to me. I’ll never get in a car accident, I know it happens, but it won’t happen to me.’ Until it happens and then it’s too late.”

So teens, if you are really doing it just put it on!! Safe sex is cool!! Buy a condom or lots of condoms… it even comes in different flavors! Hayden also revealed she wants a big family but only when she feels she is ready for it.

Hayden confessed: “I want a family. I want kids. I actually want a lot of kids. Not like ten, like four. And if it’s something that you go, ‘Oh I can’t wait to be a mom,’ that’s great, but think about it for your child and go, ‘I want to be a mom but I want to be the best mom I can be. And the only way to be the best mom I can be is by waiting until I’m no longer a child and waiting until I can teach them the best morals and raise them the best I can with a good education and a good platform. ‘ ”

Hayden sounds so mature for her age!
