Resources

For my paper I plan to research teenage pregnancy,
  • why have the rates of teenage pregnancy gone up so high so quickly?
  • do most of the women keep the babies or do most of them have abortions?
  • is there a specific race of girls that is getting pregnant?
  • is there a specific state that the rate of teenage pregnancy is higher than others?
  • do most teenagers get married soon after they get pregnant?
  • is there a certain cliche of girls who get pregnant more often than others?

I plan to find the answers to these questions as well as some others.
Here are some websites that should help me:

  1. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/2006/09/12/USTPstats.pdf
  2. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/05/AR2007120501208.html
  3. http://www.livestrong.com/article/12504-teen-pregnancy-rates-usa/
  4. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,380323,00.html
  5. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/washington/06birth.html
  6. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_ATSRH.html

there are a lot more sites that I will probably use, but these are a few of the ones that I think will be helpful.

This is a great start, Ryan. I did not realize that the rates of teenage pregnancy have gone up so much. Is that just for NJ or the US or both?
