The teen pregnancy rate has been declining at a steady rate since the 1990s, yet it still remains the highest among all developed countries in the world. Approximately 900,000 American teenagers become pregnant every year. Even though the teen pregnancy rate dropped 8 percent between 2010 and 2012, teen pregnancy problems continued to grow. People disagree about the impact and severity of teen pregnancy and other potential problems facing society. However, no one can argue that teenage pregnancy is good for society, so attempts need to be made to continue decreasing the rate of teenage pregnancy.

Having someone to talk to is also extremely helpful, so having counselors available on an anonymous, full-time basis who will be there for any teen who has questions, concerns, or needs advice on essentially anything, will be a plus.
