Teen Pregnancy in Nevada Research Paper by hicaliber

This paper examines the issue of teen pregnancy and how the state of Nevada in particular has attempted to find solutions to this problem. The term teen pregnancy is defined and statistics presented. It looks at how Nevada has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation. Teens begin to have sex before the age of 16 and most teens who become pregnant report that they began having sex because their boyfriend wanted them to. It also discusses how reducing pregnancy in Nevada teens is important because of the negative social and financial impact that teen pregnancy has on the citizens of the state.
