And this is bad because you want teens to be producing more children?
I had been the pill since I was 16. So far no pregnancy and I am currently 19 going on 20
I just don't believe teenagers are being abstinence.We live in hook up culture .

Okay, now I have no idea what you are arguing, the article did not say teens were being abstinent, it said more teens were choosing to wait a few years longer before having sex and were making better choices such as birth control and condoms when choosing to have sex. The numbers still show 44% or so are still having sex between 16-19, but with the drop in teen pregnancies, this means they are making better choices when it comes to sex.

If you are waiting to have sex is considered Abstinence.
I don't believe teens are waiting to have sex.
What if hetero anal is on the rise or birth control has gotten more easily accessible? I feel like just going off teen pregnancies doesn't really give a complete conclusion that teens are having less sex.
The study doesn't say all kids are waiting....you need to learn that the world doesn't function in absolutes.
I never said all teen are not waiting. But I think this study is misleading.
