4. Teenagers Who Wait:

• Many teens are beginning to wait more to have sex until marriage or at least later in life.

5. The Use of Two:

• For the teens who are having sex the use of dual contraceptives is also used which allows the chances of unplanned pregnancy to be significantly low. 

6. Conclusion:

• Keeping the rate low (how to continue solving the issue of teen pregnancy)
