Teen Pregnancy

NPR
Published April 1, 1996 at 11:00 PM CST

NPR's Vicky Que reports on a study which shows that pregnancy and birth rates are up again among teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19, and even more dramatic increase occuring in younger teens. This reverses a trend of the early 1980s, when the rate of teen pregnancy and births to teen mothers began to level off. Some analysts thinks sex education needs to start earlier to correspond to the early onset of sexual activity and menarche in young girls in the U.S.
