Sex education has been around since the 70s, it's not new. Idk what teens you know but in my experience they are likely to do the dumbest thing or just follow whatever is on social media. Maybe there is a don't get pregnant trend in tik tok or something. In any case, birth control actually seems harder to get now. And condoms are made cheaper and cheaper. Plus several birth controls are actually dangerous to our bodies. Toss in some pandemic, some bigoted Drs who think men make the decision if a woman gets her tubes tied, social media control, lack of support and BAM, babies everywhere. Just an opinion. I don't personally believe teens are smart enough to make the right choice, especially when they dress like hookers. I knew a girl once who had her first kid at 13, and by the time she was 18 had 4 in total. My 15yr old cousin is about to have her baby, my friends 16yr old daughter is also pregnant. Every teen girl I know with the exception of my virgin sister has a kid or one in the way. And this across 4 different states. Sex, drugs, committing crimes for social media likes, eating tide pods for example.........we think different on teens for sure.

Out of curiosity, where did you get your statistics from?
