Almost one million teenagers become pregnant each year and about 485,00 give birth. In many situations the answer to keeping a relationship going is to have a good sex life. Most teen relationships are based on sex. This is one of the main reasons why teenage birth rates are so high. Each side has their own answer to the question, what causes teen pregnancy, and how can we prevent it?
There are various reasons as to why this is such a large social and economical problem. Becoming pregnant is an unanticipated consequence for most teens because they did not think it would happen to them. In reality, there are countless teen pregnancies each year. “In 2002, 757,000 pregnancies occurred among females aged 15-19” (Hedman, Larsen, Bohnenblust, 2008). The media also contributes to the blow up of teen pregnancy due to the realism of these shows can be misleading and can give other teens false truths about what a teen motherhood is really like
The babies just as well as the teenage mothers, may face long-term problems from the pregnancy. These problems include school failure, poverty, and mental or physical illness. In many situations the babies that are born to teenage mothers are at greater risk for abuse and neglect than those of a woman mother. Many teenage moms may feel like they are being ordered to take position as mother, and may take their frustration out on their children and those close to them. Once you do become mature you can make your own decisions whether they are good or bad ones. This will not only be better for their lives but for their children’s lives as well.
