Being a mother is "a pretty tough job," says Betty Cockrum of Planned Parenthood of Indiana, and it's especially tough for teen-aged mothers. In this radio report for Y-Press, Nick Greven reports on recent studies on the patterns of teenage pregnancy in America. He speaks with representatives of different advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood about how teen pregnancy rates can be reduced. After being presented with a deluge of statistics and other figures, however, it was difficult for this listener to stay focused on the piece. It would have been interesting to beyond the numbers and to learn more about the alternative "abstinence plus" (as opposed to "abstinence only") education programs suggested by one of Greven's interviewees. Perhaps as a follow-up story, Greven could compare the personal experiences of students in a school where "abstinence only" sex ed classes are allowed to those of a school that allowed alternative curriculum. Stronger narration could have helped listeners become more engaged with the piece. Tighter cuts for the actuality would have also improved the flow of the story. A high buzzing sound can be heard throughout the piece.
