2. Parenthood is the leading reason teenagers dropout.

3. 25% of teen moms have a second child in a year.

4. less then 2% of teen moms earn a college degree by 30.

5.U.S. has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the western world.

6. In 2008 pregnancy rates among black and mexican girs to 15-19 were over 2 1/2 times white girls.

7. 8 out of 10 dads don’t marry babymamas.

8. Sexually active teens that don’t use condoms have a 90% chance of getting pregnant.

9. 50% teens never considered how pregnancy would affect heir lives.

10. Teens had fewer babies in 2010 than any other year since 1940’s.
