Health bosses are struggling to cut the number of teenage pregnancies in Brighton and Hove.
New figures reveal the average conception rate in the city is 40.9 per 1,000 15 to 17-year olds - the equivalent of around 185 births a year.
It means the city is almost certain to miss its long term target of reducing the rate to 26.4 by next year.
A teenage pregnancy action plan was launched earlier this year to try to get the numbers down.
Work includes offering all young parents sexual health assessments and using health visitors to encourage more teenagers to use contraception.
Experts have also been speaking to young people to get an idea about their relationships and why they are having unprotected sex.
Exposure to sex through the internet, TV and magazines, plus the behaviour of some celebrities is seen by some people as part of the reason why pregnancy rates are still so high.
