In reality, those bearing the biggest brunt are the children who have almost no chance of making it, unless the extended family assist the mother. All of us have seen these mothers, and the grandparents also bear a large part of the headaches, and the girls do as well, with the boys bearing it to a lesser extent.
Teenage pregnancy is the foremost social argument against teenage sex. There is no social benefit to teenage sex, even though we know it happens frequently and pervasively.

Agreed 100%.
This is why I think abstinence should be what is pounded into teens' heads, rather than safe sex. Teach both, but shift the focus to abstinence.
