A statistic in what way?

I have always believed that with young people you have to be truthful, open honest and frank so that they can see you are not being patronizing and trying to force your point across without repecting theirs.
Statistics can be for anything and there are many answers and depending on which statistic will depend on the answer.
My personal worry is safety when out and the older they get the more difficult. So our rule is Where are you going, who with, what time are you coming home and how are you getting home. Now this rule was given in the context I am not just a nosey mom but we need to know because god forbid anything should happen we have a start point to look for you and can come quicker. Once you have explained why you say what you do it is more accepted.
Once in a bank a little girl was swinging on the pole her mother kept shouting at her for doing it so child carried on but not once did she say. please do not swing on the pole because if you fall off you may hurt yourself.
So I apply my rules to everything with a good explanation as to what may or may not happen.

If I understand your question (& I'm not sure that I do - anyway!!),
education of the young starts from the instant they are born and continues throughout life. Parents input lasts only until the children think they are mature enough to make their own decisions, and mistakes.
Children must be given the recognition that they are learning from day one and should always be considered as "developing adults" and treated as such, along with benign guidance, advice and example. Any discipline should be accompanied with the most honest explaination of where & why a mistake has been made, thus instilling a sense of fairness & justice. All achievements should be rewarded and remembered. Tell your children that you love them.

Great name!! But don't believe its the real Fern. But on the off chance it is, then tell Phil he is still hot!!
In answer to the question - schools should be educating the kids (!). To give an example - alcohol agencies go into schools and talk to kids about the good and bad bits of drinking, and safe drinking etc. Not telling kids "its bad - don't do it" but giving a balanced story.
Schools try to provide good advice on contraception but there are always outcries when the school nurse tells the kid about the pill.

Lets just say, I HOPE SO. I was 19 when my husband and I got married and had our oldest. We have been married almost 10 years, and both are involved in our church. I am teaching our girls how and why they should wait till marriage (a lesson I didn't feel was taught to me). I am also hoping to keep communication open, so that they can talk to me about anything and know I will listen. I personally was afraid to talk to my mom about those things, and made those mistakes as a result. I'll let you know if I become a grandma in the next ten years.

provide more personal attention, perhaps? what i've seen in britain is that kids are just left to it.. and so they immediately start straying and whiling their time on streets rather than in school
they get tempted by all they learn and are free to give it a try (e.g. smoking, drugs, sex) because they are monitored so little (if at all). maybe the liberties being given to them need to be restrained a little...
and one needs to seriously reconsider the age at which such concepts are introduced to them.... also, parents really need to act responsible if they're to have kids, e.g. stop smoking and binge drinking with them.... so that they DONT think that parents are hipocritical and not a good example... and therefore its ok for them to follow suit

I dont think you can - young people nowadays know the danger of unprotected sex, drugs, alcohol etc etc and they still choose to participate in these situations.
You cant force someone not to do it - all you can do is bring their attention to the dangers involved and hope they have enough savvy to avoid it.

The question does not contain enough information to be meaningful. What do you mean? What type of statistic? What do you mean by young moms and dads? You don't want young people to procreate? Please be more specific.

first, end standards based testing and focus the most time and energy on the best and brightest students. Educate the underachievers in service fields.
