What do you think about the teen pregnancy rate?

Asked by krose1223 (3269points) December 20th, 2008

The teen pregnancy rate is going up in most places. I’m no expert or anything but I don’t t think it really means anything… I don’t think it means more teens are having sex, I just think it means less teens are having abortions. I think it is becoming more acceptable to carry the baby than to get an abortion. Not too long ago being pregnant in high school was unheard of and abortion was the only way.

Do you think the rates mean anything besides more girls carrying the baby?
Do you think more sex ed would help?
Some studies are trying to prove the media is to blame, do you agree?
