SUMMARY; Pregnancy rates for adolescents between the ages of 15-19 lately increased 3% in the United States during 2005 & 2006. Teen abortion had gone higher for at least 1%. One of many reasons why teen pregnancy has increased is of several debates. They blame sex-education. However, those who support sex-education say that sex-education helps them prevent aids & other sexual diseases. Teen Pregnancy lately had become one of many social issues.

REFLECTION: Not only teen should be learning about sex but having them to put themselves in a position where they know what can happen if they do it. Having teens learn this is a good way to prevent them from sexual diseases. Though , not every teen cant take it seriously, thats why more teens increase the level of teen pregnancy.
