Teen pregnancy is an important issue for several reasons. For example, there are health risks for the baby and children born to teenage mothers are more likely to suffer health, social, and emotional problems than children born to older mothers. Also, women who become pregnant during their teens are at increased risk for medical complications, such as premature labor, and social consequences.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the teen birthrate in the United States was 13.5 births for every 1,000 teens in 2009. In 2013, early estimates put the birthrate at 12.5—a decrease of about 7.5 percent.Since 1990, pregnancy rates in teenage girls aged 15 to 17 declined by almost 50 percent and pregnancy rates in older teens decreased by about 33 percent. Pregnancies in girls 15 to 17 accounted for more than one-quarter of all teen pregnancies in 2012, Recent studies show that although teen pregnancies continuing to decline in the United States, rates for African American teens and Hispanic teens are two to three times higher than in Caucasian teens.- See more at: http://www.healthcommunities.com/teen-pregnancy/children/overview-of-teen-pregnancy.shtml#sthash.qRLKCOMx.dpuf
