Teen pregnancy
What it is the main cause for the teen’s pregnancy?
Introduction
EU is one of the most industrialized nations, which have one of the highest rates
of teen pregnancy, with a lot of teenage girls that could becoming pregnant in whatever
moment. . Every year, approximately 750,000 women aged 15 to 19 become pregnant
every year. The children births from teen mothers represent eleven percent of all births
Body
Teenagers obtain a significant quantity of information regarding sex through TV
and such programs do not generally emphasize the responsibilities and risks of sex.
The study established that television program with sexual content generate teenagers’
perception that there is little risk of sex with no contraception.
Other factors associated with teenage pregnancy include growing up in a single
parent family, a lower socioeconomic status, parents with low levels of education,
violence or abuse, and poor academic performance. If the mother was a teen parent,
daughter could become pregnant as a teen. In addition, teens who have friends,
brothers or sisters who are sexually active, who begin dating at an early age, or who
date someone 3-5 years older are at a greater risk.
Even though there are several elements that can influence teen pregnancy,
for many teenagers, the lack of safe sex education from schools, parents, or the
government is other cause of teenage pregnancy. Generally, teenagers do not know
about of birth control and how to respond with friends who invites them into having
sexual intercourse before they are prepared.
Conclusion
Most teenagers do not plan to get pregnant, recent findings suggest that
television, lack of culture and the bad influences are the main causes in the high
rates of pregnancy among teenagers in the United States. As a result, the present
society recognizes the fact that in the girls having sex before 18 years old is a common
thing with high risk to become pregnant. For the majority of women, teen pregnancy
significantly diminishes their chances of any happy ending.
The teen pregnancy is not only a problem for the girl adolescent, is a big problem for the
parents, the relatives, also the community, but over all things for the new baby.
