Based on annual teen pregnancy rates, approximately one-third of all young women in the United States become pregnant before the age of 20 (The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 2011). I believe there should be more of a focus on improving teen parenting efforts because there is only so much one can do in the prevention of teen pregnancy.

This is because most teen moms may not have finished high school and h
