~Highest Teen Pregnancy Rate In The County

I read in the Observer that Hyndburn has the highest rate of teen pregnancies out of all the County Of Lancashire. I find the figures very sad myself 60.9 out of every 1,000 teenagers became pregnant. What can be done to combat these terrible figures? They are taught about birth control but obviously the message is not sinking in for either girls or boys.

It just makes you wonder if they have any comprehension of what looking after a baby entails. Must say I saw a young girl with a baby whilst at the hospital with Mum and she was little more than a child herself. It just makes me so very sad.
