Teen Pregnancy

Teen Pregnancy

Although the rate of teenage pregnancy in the United States has declined greatly within the past few years, it is still an enormous problem that needs to be addressed. These rates are still higher than they were a decade ago. The United State's teenage birthrate exceeds that of most other industrialized nations, even though American teenagers are no more sexually active than teenagers are in Canada or Europe (Gormly 348).  Recent statistics concerning the teen birthrates are alarming. About 560,000 teenage girls give birth each year. Almost one-sixth of all births in the United States are from teenage women, and eight in ten of these births resulted from unintended pregnancies (Gormly 347).  By the age of eighteen, one out of four teenage girls will have become pregnant (Newman 679).  
     Although the onset of pregnancy may occur in any teenager, some teens are at higher risk for unplanned pregnancy than others are.  Teenagers who become sexually active at an earlier age are at a greater risk primarily because young teenagers are less likely to use birth control. African-American and Hispanic teenagers are twice as likely
