Seriously...and I'm not being predudiced or racist when I say this...but I heard on the news that the birth rate is skyrocketing due to illegal immigrants coming here, and having large families.
"If illegals are allowed to remain in the country, either as illegal aliens or legal residents, births alone will add some four million people to the U.S. population over the next decade. " Quote from the site I have sourced below.
I don't think that's the entire reason, but your question could go so many ways. You may have meant "Why is teen pregnancy rising?" , or "Why are single parent births rising?".
I do think some of this is caused by a rise in teen pregnancies. I feel that I CAN speak on this, because I was a pregnant teen. At that time, I was the first EVER, to graduate from my high school pregnant. I fought tooth and nail to graduate. Now, there are pregnant girls all over the hallways and no one bats an eye. The fathers are almost never required to take responsibility for the babies they help create, and so many of the girls either have help from their parents, or go on welfare to raise the kids, so there is no 'down side' anymore. If one baby isn't that big a deal, then two or three won't be either. Many teen parents DO have more than one child, by different partners now. I'm no prude, but this is NOT a good trend.

Because people are gettin their lovin on. Sounds like America's breaking out the Marvin, Barry, and Luther tracks again. Not to mention that with all the drama going on in the world, people in America are becoming more family oriented and such again. Remember how there was a baby boom right after WWII? It was because of that. My question is: Would you rather it go down?

Have you paid attention to the questions on here? Most of these teenagers are not even using condoms, let alone any other form of contraception. Where are their sex ed classes?

No one is taught responsibility anymore.
As if what you do when you're drunk won't come back and haunt you.
