2. Oklahoma
Oklahoma has the 2nd highest teenage pregnancy rate in the United States and these are some devastating figures: in 2014, the teenage pregnancy rate was 38.5 per 1000 girls and in 2015, it was 34.8 per 1000. While statistics indicate that some improvement was made, there is still a lot of work to do. The integral part of sex education in this state is learning about abstinence and contraception. Tulsa campaign to prevent teen pregnancy points out that in 2015, 60 out of 4,391 births occurred to girls aged 10 to 14.
