Teenage pregnancy occurs when a girl between ages of 13 and 19, becomes pregnant. It has been found that 13 million children are born to girls under age 20 worldwide annually.

Fast Facts:

  • 46% U.S. teens between the ages of 15 and 19 have had sex at least once.
  • A sexually active teen who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.
  • Each year, almost 750,000 U.S. girls aged 15-19 become pregnant.
  • This rate has declined 36% since its peak in 1990.
  • Eleven percent of all U.S. births are to teens.
  • Six in 10 minors who have abortions do so with at least one parent's knowledge.
