Of course, this is not complete; you are missing a lot of big countries that of course, have more than 111 pregnancies in women below 20 |

home training is not the issue. the issue is lack of reliable education, limited access to contraception, intolerance regarding sexuality. teens in other countries initiate sex the same age as US teens. the difference is that in other countries, they accept sexuality as part of the culture, not as deviant and sinful.
blame the religious right. |

To be living in the United States and to see we have the most Teenage Pregnancies is a damn shame and disgrace to our country and I'm a shame to say I'm from the United States.They need more home training! |

you are right teenage pregnancy is much more frequent in developing countries, this stat does not count them.
an unwanted bay is a real tragedy
a big part of this is cultural, american media glorifies sex
making contraception methods more easily available will definatly reduce this |

You know that is interesting, you would think there would be a lot more cases in third world countries, at least from what I've seen. |

what about african nations? don't women who live in africa or who belong to certain tribes get pregnant at an early age cause they are forced to live with their husbands even at the age of 9 years old? |
