It's really unfortunate that scare tactics seem to be the only thing that prevents teen pregnancy. There seems to be no moral (not necessarily religious) incentive to abstain, so the only route is to scare them so badly that they don't want to do it. The fear wears off, eventually, so then what can we do?

Abstinence education is fine, but only if there's also information given about contraception. There are always some people that will do something regardless of the consequences. I know so many people that are so misinformed, as I'm sure we all do. Telling kids about sex is not going to make them do it, but not telling them about sex will make a baby.
