Members of the Eastlawn Community Center drill team dance for a video against teen pregnancy.
Music, video battle teen sex Rap song focuses on unplanned pregnancy, sexual diseases
By Kate Lee Kansan staff writer
Armed with a rap song and a music video, a nurse at Haskell Indian Junior College is ready to continue his battle against teen-age pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Mike Brown wrote a rap song, "It Pays to Wail," during Summer 1989, aimed at educating teenagers about the consequences of unplanned pregnancies. The song aired on radio stations across the state. Saturday in Topeka at station KSNT channel 27 a music video was made of the song.
The video featured the Eastlawn Community Center drill team, The Posse; and Daniel Keeling and Porsha Carr, two Highland Park High School juniors who are members of the group Teens are Concerned, all from Topeka.
Teens are Concerned is a school-sponsored group that visits elementary, junior high and high schools to educate students about preventing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Carr and Keeling performed the rap for the radio spots and the video.

'A 11 young people need to be concerned about this. Peer pressure is the best pressure when it is positive.' — Curtis Pitts
director of the center
"We stress that abstinence is the best protection," Keeling said. "If you do decide, we tell them and show them the consequences and how to protect themselves."
Keeling said the number of pregnancies at Highland Park High School was reduced 41 percent in one year. He thought it was in part because of the efforts made by the group to reach junior high students and educate them before they reached high school.
Curtis Pitts, director of the center,
said the drill team agreed to participate
in the video because it was a good way to send a message to teens.
"All young people need to be concerned about this," he said. "Peer pressure is the best pressure when it is positive."
Pitts said the drill team grew out of the center's philosophy of giving kids something focused to do.
"At the center, a lot of the kids like to dance and listen to music," he said. "We want them to do something productive."
Harrison Pope, 12, said he started coming to the center with a friend. The two had a bet on who would quit first.
"I told him, 'I ain't gonna quit,'" Pope said. "The drill team stopped me from getting into trouble."
Brown said he started working to educate teens after he spent time in a hospital delivery room.
"I saw teens having babies all by themselves, scared to death," he said.
Brown said the song targeted teenage boys because everybody else talked to the girls.
"It takes two to tango. So I thought, I'll talk to the other half," he said.
Brown said he hoped to sell the video to television stations for use as a public service announcement.
"My goal is not to make money," Brown said. "My goal is to prevent pregnancies, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases."
