This article talks about how the number of teen girls giving birth in Okalhoma was more than double the

number of female freshmen entering the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. In this

article i learned a very fascinating new fact: "By law, schools must address HIV and AIDS, and many will

include sexually transmitted diseases. But most are skittish to offer anything beyond that."

I chose this article because it was very fascinating how Okalhoma had a very high rate in the increase of teenage pregnancy. Also, i found it very intresting how they had teen birthrate rankings with different states.
