The rate of American teenagers giving birth has reached a historic low, according to a new federal report.
In the last decade, the rate at which American teens are having babies has dropped more than 40%, the new report released on Thursday reveals. Among Hispanic teens, the rate has dropped 51% since 2006, and for black teens it has dropped 44%. But birth rates among these demographic groups still remain double that of white teens.
