hispanic teen pregnancies on the rise

Being Hispanic myself and also never having a child,I must be an exception to this headline.My mom was a pregnant teen so I asked her the questions in this video,my mom grew up poor and was lonely,she fell in love and unexpectedly got pregnant and her mother told her that if she thought she was responsible enough to have sex she should deal with the consequences and have the baby and keep it.Recently I've been hearing that schools should be teaching more abstinence and less about contraception which I strongly disagree with,I think both should get equal time.I do agree that teenagers are too young to deal with the emotional side of sex but it's unrealistic to expect every teen to abstain,even if a teen decides to abstain they should learn about how to protect themselves to be well rounded and to be informed because pregnancy is not the only consequence of sex there are also STD's so why not teach everything because it's ultimately the teens choice to either abstain or participate.SO watch this video and see what you think,I personally don't think it's specifically a Hispanic but something that all races and cultures experience.
