It gets press when something happens to someone famous (Jamie Lynn Spears, Sarah Palin's daughter) or when something shocking happens (the pregnancy pact thing) but for the most part there's a lot of discussion in high school health classes and whatever talks your own parents give you. Although there is a show on MTV called 16 and Pregnant.
In my high school pregnant girls generally were sent to the special high school down the street for the kids with behavioral or drug problems, where they were just trying to get enough done to get a diploma. One girl refused and graduated with us, but it was a lot of "out of sight, out of mind"
