520			_a"Only one-third of teen mothers in the United States earn a high school diploma, and only 1.5 percent have a college degree by age 30, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Hispanic girls--primarily those of Mexican descent--are more likely than those in other racial and ethnic groups to have a baby and drop out of school, leading to a cycle of poverty that experts say could have huge implications for U.S. society. States such as Texas, where Hispanics are expected to make up 48 percent of the population by 2030, are particularly vulnerable. Half of Hispanic girls in the United States become pregnant at least once by age 20." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article presents the story of a young Hispanic couple who had a baby and got married while still in high school. A list of tips for parents on preventing teen pregnancy is included.
