I was researching teenage pregnancy facts and I came across a list of ten facts from New Mexico that said that it has the third highest teen pregnancy rate. It made me wonder which state has the highest.
Here is the link.

This website has Teen Pregnancy Rates per 1,000 Girls Aged 15-19 for every state.

The south is higher. New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Delaware, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, New York, Florida, Oklahoma.... etc/

- Also, i disagree with a lot of things listed on that website you posted. Yes, it is true for most, but not all. Those are the ones who make us teen mom's that are actually doing a wonderful job look bad. I'm not saying teen pregnancy is a good thing, but my fiance and I have loved and cared for our son since the day he was born. He is only 8 months, but we have big plans for ourselves and him. There are quite a bit of adults who cannot, or just don't want to take care of their babies. Teen or adult, being a mother requires the same responsibility and some people just can't handle it, but i can. Just letting people know they shouldn't judge all teen mom's and think they will all d bad.
I am proof(:
But i agree that the number of teen pregnancy is too high.
