America has by far the largest teen pregnancy rate in the developed world- so whatever we're doing is not really working. Of course, I'd bet dollars to donuts that we sexualize our children more than any other culture.

 limited access to birth control is the entire problem here.

"VIn general, parental permission is not needed for prescription methods of birth control like the pill. However, there may be certain locations where, for one reason or another, a health care provider will require parental permission. Check with your provider about her or his policy."

I have yet to meet a girl who did not have access to birth control. I think it is even free. not sure though
