1. what do you notice about teen pregnancy rates over the years?
I notice that they were quite high 20 years ago and have increased a lot over time.
2. Do you notice anywhere the data changes significantly. If so why do you think that is?
It changes significantly from 20 years ago to 10 years. But also changed a lot from just 5 years ago to now. Its near 40% of teens!
3. What impact do you think TV shows like "Teen Mom" have on current teen pregnancy rates?
I think shows like that don't impact it as much. But other things like teens thinking way to early and stuff. Teens do things at the wrong times and if they end up pregnant, well it can upset them over the fact of abortions will kill an innocent child, so they allow themselves to take care of the kid instead. But then they have not much of a future if they have to start parenting at such a young age. Teens need to get things done before they think of having kids or come near to chances of pregnancy.
