First of all, there are more and more students carrying around fake babies (they have some that are programmed and a lot "smarter" than bags of flour). Both girls and boys to teach both about having to care for a child. But they don't work to stop teen pregnancies.In one sense, it depends how much a person trivializes having sex. The more trivial, the less reason to be selective
I see NO distinction between a couple that marry and live together, and a couple that don't marry and live together. However, such stats exclude all couples who don't have a marriage license, making the stats deliberately false and distorted.
I'll add that of itself, I see no problem with "teen pregnancy." But, then, I don't believe everyone was born for which the purpose of their life is to serve as a minor clog in the gears of corporations and employers. Then again, I've posted now and then that USA has become one of the most anti-children countries in the world. What possibly worse could happen to a woman than have a child? That will destroy her life. Get an education so you can get a job serving a corporation - that should be the goal of everyone. Don't mess up your corporate employment future by destroying your life with a child. It is the duty of making certain every school girl is taught this.
We killed a practice of having girls in HS carry a bag of flour everywhere for a month to teach them the burdens of having a child. Teaching girls to hate babies? That having a child is nothing but a horrific burden? Oh hell no. We stomped on that big time. Successfully.
Fake babies won't stop kids from getting pregnant
I know that everything at school now has to be a "project," has to be "experiential" --...

Most people see an issue with teenagers getting pregnant, having babies. We are definitely not talking people in serious relationships here when teens are having sex and making babies.
