Abstract

The United States ' teen pregnancy rate remains among the most problematic in industrialized countries . The United States must consequently remain unwavering in its intention to lessen teen pregnancy . Every day approximately 2 ,000 teenagers in the United States drop out of high school , and since out-of-school are more expected to engage sexual intercourse they are more expected to experience unwanted pregnancy .
