Good news from the National Center for Health Statistics, from 1991 to 2005:

• the percentage of teens that have had sexual intercourse decreased from 54% to 47%
• the teen birth rate decreased from 39 births per 1,000 young women (ages 15-17) to 21 births per 1,000 teen girls, which is a record low

Obviously, teens having sex and getting pregnant is still a major problem and one that youth groups will always have to address, but it is very encouraging to see the trend changing towards a positive direction.
