No Kidding: Straight Talk from Teen Parents
No Kidding is a partnership between the Texas Attorney General's Division of Children and Families and YouthLaunch. The program provides presentations for 6th through 12th graders on the rights, realities, and responsibilities of young parenting, including issues related to child support and paternity. The No Kidding Peer Educators are a team of young fathers and mothers who travel to schools telling their stories and leading their peers in highly interactive activities designed to make visible the legal issues and other realities surrounding young unmarried parenting.
To see a video featuring the No Kidding Peer Educators in action, please see the No Kidding Media Clip below.
