The Census Bureau estimated that fifteen million teens would grow up to about seventeen million in the year of 2010. In 1995 two thirds of the teens were Caucasian and non-Hispanic, twelve percent were Hispanic, four percent were Asian, one percent were Native Americans, and fifteen percent were African Americans (Dryfoos). One third of Hispanic, Native Americans and, African American teens live in a disadvantaged family.

More and more teens are leaving high school because they are having a hard time learning the basic skills like math, reading, and trying to learn English at the same time. Many Hispanic parents separate and a majority of the single mothers were high school drop outs due to getting pregnant. The father was not in the picture, which they tend to continue school and not come back.
             I feel that mother becoming pregnant in their teenage years will start the viscous cycle phenomenon over again. More than likely, a mother who drops out of high school to have a baby will end with the baby falling in to the same viscous cycle. There are about 2,800 teenage girls getting pregnant in one year (Who Drops Out?).
