America has a high teen pregnancy rate for many reasons. The main reason is a lack of proper sex education by parents as well as in schools. Most American teens are subjected to "abstinence only" sex education which does not cover any form of pregnancy prevention other than abstinence.

There is also laws in place in most states that do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to confidentially (without their parents knowledge) obtain hormonal Birth Control, STI/D testing, pregnancy testing, abortion, or prenatal care without consent of one or both parents.
