Congratulations Texas Teens!!!
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just released the most recent numbers regarding Teen Birth Rates. Between the years 2007 and 2011:
Texas teen birth rates dropped a whopping 24%
White students by 19%
Black students by 26%
Hispanic students by 28%
The decline in teen births began in 1991, which directly correlates to the introduction of abstinence education. Today's report indicates a dramatic decline of at least 15% in all but two states from 2007-2011. The most dramatic drop was among Hispanic students and then Black students.
Birth rates in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennesee also significantly dropped.
Aim For Success is proud of the good choices
today's teens are making!
Aim For Success has reached over 2 MILLION teens, parents and educators over
the past 20 years as we challenge young people to avoid the risk of sexual activity before marriage.
