    Although popular opinion sometimes indicates otherwise, according to a statistical analysis from the US Department of Health and Services (2014), teen pregnancy rates have been steadily declining for the past twenty years. In America, most teenagers are not yet fully independent from their parents, as teenagers in other cultures sometimes are, so they are not ready to become parents. Since this issue has a huge impact on young women and men affected by it, this may account for the disparity between popular opinion and the statistical data on the subject.…

The Hispanic rate was 128 per 1000 pregnancies and a rate of 64.4 births per year.(Huberty, Siahpush, Beighle, Fuhrmeister, Silva & Welk, May 2011) The significance of this increase is magnified by the growing population of the Hispanic race.
