in my state adolescents pregnancy rate is get decreased through out these ten years.i think children are more educated than before.they know the complications of teen pregnancy.Moreover,they have enough knowledge of contraception.above all,parents are taking care of their children and give more focus on them.these are the reasons why the ratio get reduced in these years.otherthan there are many community based programs through colleges and schools inorder to give awareness to the children from young age to know more about sex,contraception and how it is related to health and their future.
