Most teen pregnancies are unintentional in the U.S. The mother is less likely to finish high school and their children might also have the same symptoms they have. The government is also effected by this because they have to pay for medical, food stamps and other things. Usually the amount of money they use a year is around 9 Billion. In the 1990s the teenage pregnancy was a high rate but now it has declined by a lot. Southern states are more likely to hold policies that require abstinence only education, and to accept the title v federal funding for this education. Teen pregnancies are often in contact with guys over the age of 25. African and Latino race are usually at a high risk of teen pregnancy and rape. Most schools should teach their students about safe sex education rather than just telling students not to have sex at all.

Teen mothers are less likely to finish high school and more likely to receive public assistance compared to women who delay childbearing. A different picture is painted in America’s southern states: while teen pregnancy rates have been decreasing in these states, the decline has been much slower than in other paarts of the country. Some teens get pregnant by satutaory rape the teen would be like 17 Or 16 and the boyfriend is 18.

Students would finish high school and and receive public assistance teen mom baby's will most likely be born pre mature or suffer low birth weight .....sexual education policy is a effectiveness in this manor one concern is seeing teen pregnancies between sexual contact better a 25 year old male and a female under the age of 18

What it was saying in the article was the high rates of teen pregnancies and how the state can help prevent this. By giving kids the sex education they need so that next time they enter a relationship they'll know what to do. Also to let kids know that being with someone over the age of 18 is rape. And that kids should be with people in their age group.

While the U.S. federal government began offering Title V grants to states for stringent abstinence-only sex education, California passed on the funding and, in 2003, signed the California Comprehensive Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Act into law. Also Most teen pregnancies are unintentional in the U.S. The mother is less likely to finish high school and their children might also have the same symptoms they have. The government is also effected by this because they have to pay for medical, food stamps and other things. Usually the amount of money they use a year is around 9 Billion.

The article is talking about how the U.S. has the highest rate of unintentional pregnancies. It's why high schools have Sex-Ed classes. To help prevent teens from becoming young adults. It lets kids know that being with someone over the age of 18 is statutory rape.

Teen pregnancies are unintentional and teens are most likely to be delayed in school. Their children are most likely to have low birth weight and health issues. Data shows that they need more sex Ed classes to help remedy the national use.
