It's not because of abstinence programs, it's because of the free-falling moral decline (more pregnancies to start with at increasingly younger ages) and the Juno movie, there was an explosion of girls keeping their children to term
But Abstinence ONLY just doesn't cut it in my opinion.
Sure only abstinence works 100% of the time, but telling (teaching) kids... "Thou shalt not do it" only makes them want to do it more. You have to give them more of the facts. You have to make them fear the consequences without letting them know that you are trying to make them fear the consequences.

How about a video of AIDS victims? Why does no one ever show kids the actual possible consequences like they do to discourage them from smoking cigarettes, our school did an EXCELLENT job at that.
Are you trying to make me feel old?
I graduated from high school before AIDS even became something to fear.
As a child, both of my parents smoked. I vaguely remember watching a movie in first grade that showed the lungs of a non-smoker compared to those of a smoker and then going home and telling my parents that they had to quit smoking... trust me, that did not go over so well.
