Here is some information from the National Library of Medicine on Teen Pregnancy.
Teen pregnancy is at an all time high. What can be done to help prevent unplanned pregnancies by teens? Do we need more educational tools whether it be in the schools, workshops, community centers, or churches. Do we educate the parents of these teens as to how to help prevent these unplanned pregnancies?
Most teens do not plan on getting pregnant. Usually they become pregnant on a dare basis, peer pressure, or not knowing that if they have sexual intercourse they risk becoming pregnant. Alot of teens become pregnant because they feel that if they have something or shall I say someone to care for they will be loved by that human being. Most teens do it strictly for attention, whether it is from the boy they become pregnant by or their parents.
