Britain has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Western Europe with over 8000 girls under the age of 16 getting pregnant in 2007, whereas Belgium and Sweden have a much lower rate of only 7 girls per 1000 teen girls, over 29 girls in the UK. In the U.S the CDC has recently done extensive research into teen pregnancy and reports that 1 in 3 american girls will get pregnant before 20th birthday. The 3 reasons they believe are due to family circumstance, for example, coming from a broken or single parent home, advertising on TV and a sexually explicit entertainment industry.
