I am a new Author and I am writing a book on Teen Pregnancy, I see a few articles that I would like to use but I need to find out if the reports can be copied? May I use the graph on Teen Birthrates Where Do Your State Rank? Teen Pregnancy on the rise? Troubling Rise In Teen Birthrate? Teens And Sex Education At the Doctors Office? 5 Ways To Save Money On Birth Control? If so do I need to include the section # 106-20. I may want to make some modifications to the data. Is this ok?. Thank You Gloria R.

I live in Utah, and I am myself a pregnant teen. It seems that everyone I know and used to associate myself with is now pregnant. Even girls with very religious families are pregnant. I don't know what's going on, but there are some strong hormones in the water here or something.

As a teen i know the pressures that a girl goes through for sex in high school. You feel like you need to do it to be popular or fit in. But in my opinion sex is a gift from GOD that is meant to be for a husband and wife. If we waste it now than it will lose it's speciallness. When i ge tmarried onmy wedding might i don't want to have to worry about if my future husband could have an STD. But in the society we live in today i have to. Its a sad sad thing but i WILL NOT even give my self the opportunity to get in a situation to whre i will nbe pressured to have sex. This is a choice of mine and i stand by it no matter what.

I wonder what the abortion rates are for those states with the lowest teen birth rates? They do look like liberal or blue states with the exception of North Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Utah.
