To the great consternation of parents, educators and government officials, efforts to curb teenage pregnancy have failed miserably. There is a growing attitude among young girls that having a baby is fashionable and desirable and the rising rate of pregnancy among teens shows that this is more than a mere mindset.
Peer pressure and entertainment that glamorizes sex have been identified as key factors in this growing trend, showing that the media has a much greater effect on teens than education programs can ever hope to achieve.
