Last year in the UK 36,540 unmarried teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19 had a baby.
In the USA nearly one million teenage American girls become pregnant each year.
Britain has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Europe.
Teens in the USA in particular are constantly warned of the risks of getting pregnant. Sex education starts as early as 3rd grade, messages to say no to sex appear on TV, stories of young girls getting pregnant are constantly in teen magazines.
