Teenage preganacy is become a big problem in the western world, especially here in US. This is the result of culture in the house. And there is a fine line in this culture, if you put to much pressure upon the kids they will do it because of taboo, and if you do not put any pressure then they will have a free ride. It has become a balancing act in modern times that i believe ever parents in the western culture is going thru.
I think there are certain social problems which are peculiar to the US and UK. Compare these countries with even more sexually liberal countries like the Netherlands and Scandinavia. The netherlands has teh least amount of teenage pregnancies in the west, while germany's rate is half that of Britain's. This is definitely an Anglo-saxon phenomenon, and in teh UK at least, is largely confined to the "white trash" and "council estate (social housing)" communities whcih already suffer from various social ills.
