Teenage birth rates rises for the first time since ‘91

This article speaks of the high increase in teenage pregnancy since the year 1991. There is talk of the fact that the programs that are given in schools, and money investments put into these programs, have not decreased birth rates, but may have been a cause for increase. It is also mentioned that the advances in AIDS have taken fear away and girls are having sex without condoms as well.
