All I know as we have made it more acceptable the problem has become much worse. That goes for allot of things with teens now days.

Yeah call it what you want, but I remember the one girl that got pregnant while I was in high school was derided and ostracized from her social circle. Shame, derision, whatever. There's no stronger force for a teenager than his/her peers thinking poorly of them. If the kids think it's actually cool to be pregnant in high school then they're all in trouble.
