Teen pregnancy

Why is it that more and more young girls are getting pregnant. Is because we are not doing enough is school to help them make the right choices when it comes to having a sexual relationship? The rate of teenage pregnancy is on the increase. The age of the girl getting pregnant it getting lower to.

Are we doing all that we can to make sure that these young adults have all the information they need on being safe when it comes to having sex. It shocking to that how many of this young adults just didn’t know that they could get pregnant the first time they have sex. I once hard a story of a girl by me getting pregnant because she didn’t think she would if she had sex standing up. Which is silly I know but that’s just show that some people just don’t have the knowledge/ education they need on the facts on pregnancy and safe sex.

I know that we are not going to stop underage sex from happen because teenagers what to explore, but we could be giving them a better education on how to have safe sex and were they can get contraception from. Not only are they at risk of getting pregnant but also getting an STDs because they are not being safe when having sex.
