7.  Kaiser Family Foundation states that 33% of
pregnant teens stated that they felt that
they were not ready for a sexual
relationship, but proceeded anyway because
they feared ridicule or rejection
 Some girls think they need to have sex to
boost their “popularity” level
 They could be peer pressured into it (relation
ships, parties, alcohol, etc.)

8.  Educating young people about teen pregnancy
will result in lower birth rates and it will also
help them understand why practicing safe sex is
very important.
 With our survey, we hope it shows that even
students agree with the fact that the topic of
safe sex and teen pregnancy needs to be
addressed more.

rapidly because adolescents are out in the world
not being educated enough, not practicing safe
sex, and not knowing everything that comes
along with being pregnant.
