May not be the sole cause, but it certainly seems to have an influence.The UK isn't that great on the chart either, but we have swell sex education across the country.
Sure it's a lack of sex education that's causing this?
Where's the evidence of causation? (And correlation isn't necessarily causation)May not be the sole cause, but it certainly seems to have an influence.
Im not sure, I don't have the data in front of me. Are you suggesting that the lack of sexual education does NOT play a role in regards to the OP?Where's the evidence of causation? (And correlation isn't necessarily causation)
I can understand lack of sex education making a big impact in much of Africa.
The USA though? Dunno, you'd think them family values would be taught well in the areas where they don't have it.

I'm asking for evidence that backs the OP's claim that a lack of sexual education plays a large role in this particular case of the USA, or as the OP seems to suggest, the deciding factor. This does not mean I am suggesting the opposite (as I wouldn't have the evidence to back that one either).Im not sure, I don't have the data in front of me.

Which demographics are you referring to, and what cultural attitudes?That, and cultural attitudes within various demographics that eschew personal responsibility (kids and their parents alike).
I guess we are in the same boat then, I don't have the data either.I'm asking for evidence that backs the OP's claim that a lack of sexual education plays a large role in this particular case of the USA, or as the OP seems to suggest, the deciding factor.

I think there is more than the level and type of sex education involved in these statistics. I think the OP was trying to draw too close a connection between sex education and teen pregnancies.The UK isn't that great on the chart either, but we have swell sex education across the country.

One thought is that there is statistically a disproportionate number of teen births by people of black descent. I would guess the U.S. has the highest percentage of blacks of any country on that list. I am guessing that if we look at non-black teen birth rates in the United States we wouldn't see much difference from the pack.
Certainly not the sole cause, but I'd say a highly contributing factor. Unfortunately, there's a significant segment of US society that's uncomfortable talking about sex. You know, the kind who only has sex with the lights off.The UK isn't that great on the chart either, but we have swell sex education across the country.

We're still great at school-shootings!Well, at least America is still great at some things.
