Even though the teen pregnancy rate has declined over the past few decades, the fact of the matter is that the United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate of the Western industrialized world. It is true that the teen pregnancy and birth rate was much higher prior to 1980 (and especially in the 1950s and 1960s), but at the time young women were getting married and having children before the age of 20. Most of the teen pregnancies occurring before 1980 were to married women; now most of today's teen mothers are unwed. Here are some more interesting teen pregnancy statistics:

This article will help my major blog because it gives facts, statistics. It explains social problems, education problems and financial problems as well.Further more it gives the teenagers point of view too.
Nice supporting statistics. I think focusing especially on the social, educational, and financial costs of teen pregnancy will help your argument a lot!
