teen pregnancy statistics


By Pregnancy and Parent at 2010-03-04 03:46:56
Between 1990 and 2006 we've seen visible decline in teen pregnancy rates and and teen births, but it's still been estimated that 3 in 10 girls in the United States get pregnancy by age 20. 3 in 10. Let that sink for a moment. Think about your daughter and 2 of her friends. It is very possible that 1 out of the 3 will be pregnant by the time they are 20. When segmented into ethnicities, some of these pregnancy statistics become even more alarming. For example both Black and Latino girls show a pregnancy rate before the age 20 over 50%. That is every other girl. It gets no better in the following years as 6 in 10 pregnancies to women aged 20-24 were unplanned.

A pregnancy web site is an excellent resource for women of all backgrounds and ages, especially in the case of teen pregnancy. A pregnancy web site can let a girl know the first month symptom of pregnancy and very early sign of pregnancy she may be experiencing so that she can early on get proper medical attention and advice.

Today, we are hoping to see a positive increase in the awareness and habits of young people regarding abstinence and safe responsible sex. Unfortunately it remains the poor who lack the opportunity to get the help they need or have a voice as to what their opinions are on these issues that impact their communities. Polls show that most teen pregnancies continue to be amongst blacks and hispanics living in lower income regions of the U.S. The sex education curriculum must consider these findings in better reaching its audience.

Experts say that several reasons affects teen pregnancy. One of the main reasons is because they believe that the baby will bring changes in their lives like having some friends or getting closer to their families and their boyfriend. But what they don't know is that having a baby adds more responsibility to their life. Pregnancy is a life changing experience. Parents must tell their children that pregnancy is not just a game of playhouse; they must instill in their kids that pregnancy is not a solution to a problem, or should be used as an excuse for rebellion. Pregnancy will change their lives for a lifetime.

The safest path towards teen pregnancy prevention is abstinence. Not having sexual intercourse will mean that you will never have to worry about catching any diseases or unwanted pregnancies which will ultimately change your entire life. Though there will undoubtedly be a lot of peer pressure to have sex, abstaining from sex now will only mean that you will be 100% ready when you do decide to take that step.

Pregnancy is one of the pivotal moments of a woman's life but not when you're young with a bright future ahead. Teen pregnancy is one of the most difficult experiences any young woman can go through. The stress of pregnancy, revelation of pregnancy to parents, and moving on despite the shame and worry can be nerve-racking. Indeed pregnancy especially during teenhood will never be easy.
