The United States' teen pregnancy rate is the same as third world nations. Most western nations aren't afraid to talk about sex and contraception. But in the U.S. we are. Politically and culturally, the U.S is so tied up by fundamentalists, that we tend to forget about normal human behaviors, like sex. So we don't talk to our kids, and they "experiment" anyway.

i was going through a magzine and found some important information regarding teen girls Pregnancy.

Dr. Susan L. Davies of the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Public Health and colleagues carried out his survey :

questioned 455 low-income, African-American adolescent girls in Birmingham, Ala., aged 14-18 between 1996 and 1999, and found that nearly a 'quarter (23.6 percent) expressed some desire to become pregnant in the near future.'

Its very strange at this age.
