Ending Teen Pregnancy Analytical Essay by Calwriter

This paper points out that, while the teen pregnancy rate is declining, it is still a significant societal problem that must be addressed. The paper further points out that previous methods of reducing the teen pregnancy rate typically targeted teenage females only and did not include the male counterpart; this approach makes efforts to reduce the teen pregnancy rate less effective. Instead, the paper argues that the teen pregnancy rate will dramatically decline if both male and female teens are encouraged to take a more active role in their romantic relationships so that they will more readily discuss the use of contraceptive with their potential sexual partner.
