Pregnant: Too Young can be 86611 on Thursday June 17 at 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 19 at 6:00 In 1980, Utah had a population of almost 70,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 19. Over 5,500 of thse girls became pregnant that year. This is an increase of 25 percent since 1970. More alarming is the fact that the greatest increase in teenage pregnancy is occurring to girls aged 13 and 14. Pregnancies to these younger teenagers rose 350 percent form 1970 to 1980, and continues on an upward climb. To bring this problem closer to Dugway, the number of teenage pregnancies in Tooeel County for 1970 was 75, but rose steadily to 118 in 197a ur V p.m. This documentary seeks to make people aware of Utah's teenage pregnancy problem so that we can deal with it more effectively.
