Extractions: by Laurie L. Lachance Teenage parenthood is by no means a new social phenomenon. Historically, women have tended to begin childbearing during their teens and early twenties. During the past two decades the U. S. teenage birthrate has actually declined (Polit and others, 1982). In the late 1950s, 90 out of 1000 women under 20 gave birth as compared with 52 out of 1000 in 1978. Several factors contribute to the current attention focused on teenage pregnancy and parenthood.

One main factor is certain, adult involvement is essential for this to be dealt with in a positive manner." - Jessica [ first place essay "I think if these kids were better educated they might realize the problems that teen parents face." - Krista "[P]eople need to face the fact that most teens are sexually active... the best options that we have are to make birth control more accessible available and accepted, and also talk to kids at a younger age to help them understand that abstinence is important." - Kristin

The 'Secret' Behind Lower Teen Pregnancy
The 'Secret' Behind Lower teen pregnancy. By June Carbone. In themid1990s, I discovered what appears to be a closely held secret.
http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/ethicalperspectives/teenpregnancy.html

Extractions: By June Carbone In the mid-1990s, I discovered what appears to be a closely held secret. The recent news of falling teen pregnancy rates convinced me that the information remains secret despite the fact that it is in plain view for anyone who wishes to inquire. The secret is the determination of the African-American community to combat teen births, and the success that concerted community action has had in transforming child-bearing behavior. I discovered the secret when I attended a conference on welfare reform at Columbia University. The conferees, whatever their racial backgrounds, were united in their denunciation of welfare reform as an assault on African-American motherhood. They were convinced that any questioning of the number, timing or circumstances of African-Americans births was an attack on the community itself. I encountered a different perspective when I had dinner with an in-the-trenches law school classmate. She heads an organization that works closely with black churches and community leaders. She said that these leaders saw teen births as the single biggest challenge in the African-American community, and they were devoting their energy to meeting that challenge. The good news is that they have had remarkable success. A decade of hard work by countless volunteers, pastors and community organizers has moved the statistical picture in a big way. Teen birth rates are now near historic lows. The overall rate fell 26 percent in the 1990s, according to U.S. Census figures. The far more dramatic figure for African-Americans was 37 percent.
