According to teenpregnancy.org, there are 750,000 teen pregnancies each year! Eighty percent of these pregnancies are unintended and typically occur among unwed mothers.
The problems don't end there either. Teenage mothers are more likely to drop out of high school, they score lower on math and reading, and they are more likely to be and remain single mothers.
Remember to use contraception. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, 25% of girls who have sex without contraception get pregnant within a month! More teen pregnancy info, including ways to get help, can be found here
