Poverty, not sex ed, key factor in teen pregnancy
September 4 07:50 PM

Very interesting. According to this article, abstinence-only education doesn’t work at all, and is a huge waste of money. Also “explicit sex-ed” programs don’t reduce teen pregnancy, though they do make teens more informed. Furthermore, teenage mothers don’t lose out on education, jobs, etc.

It’s the poor teenagers who get pregnant. It’s most closely linked to poverty, which is the real problem.
