My opinion is that it is good that the rates are dropping, but the mothers should do better to stay in school. The district helping out is also a good thing for them.
How long will teen pregnancy rate continue to decrease?

Teen Birth Rates Drop, But Districts Fight Parent Dropouts
Teen birth rates in the US has always been high and now they are decreasing. Some say that the show " Teen Mom & 16 & Pregnant " helped decreased the rate of teen pregnancy. By teens seeing what those mothers go through, it influenced them not to have sex. It also to do things that prevent them from getting pregnant. The show hasn't been the only thing to help teens out, but it has been a good influence. Those that have been pregnant end up dropping out of school to care for the baby. That rate of mother dropouts are increasing rapidly. Now districts in certain areas help the mothers with the baby to try to prevent them from dropping out.
