What are the causes and effects among teenagers in San Juan Hill, Santa Cruz Old Road, San Juan?

Reasons for selecting area, and topic of research in the community of Santa Cruz Old Road, San Juan:
There are many teenagers who are pregnant. In light of the fact that education of a young female maybe disrupted by pregnancy. I am interested in finding out if the teenagers who are pregnant now were born to a teenage mother and maybe continuing the cycle of teenage pregnancy. Also to an extent belonging to a particular family type pre-disposes a young girl to teenage pregnancy.

Method of investigation In order to collect data from the survey. I have decided to use printed questionnaires. The questionnaire is a tool for collecting data and it has a number of advantages. It requires little time to be completed and it guarantees confidentiality since respondents are not required to attach their names.

What are the causes and effects of teenage pregnancy.

    The fourth source by the Office Of Adolescent Health has a strong and detailed overview of teen pregnancy and childbearing. I found this source through University of Alabama Scout search engine and the audience is the general public. The source includes statistics from 2013 that 273,000 babies were born in the US from females ages 15-19. The text also mentions the sad reality that comes along with teenage pregnancy such as, mother and teen less likely to finish school, more likely to rely on public assistance, more likely to live in poverty as adults, and more likely to have children who has poorer education, behavioral, and health outcomes throughout their lives rather than a child born into older parents that are prepared for a child. Along with addressing the issues of teen pregnancy, the source also touches on strategies and approaches to prevent unwanted teen pregnancies such as the contraceptive method I talk about in my paper. This information adds to my paper because it demonstrates the problems with teen pregnancy and the steps the US can take to lower the teenage pregnancy rates.…

    Teenage pregnancies have become a topic of discussion within most households of today’s society. Recent television shows such as Teen Mom and The Secret Life of an American Teenager has introduced a topic in a major way. Within the past twenty years, the amount of teenage pregnancy has increased by 10 percent (Brown). According to the Medical dictionary teen pregnancy is defined as “Pregnancy by a female, age 13 to 19, which is understood to occur in a girl who hasn’t completed her core education—secondary school—has few or no marketable skills, is financially dependent upon her parents and/or continues to live at home and is mentally immature (Segen’s Medical Dictionary). Teenage pregnancy can be very harmful to not only the mother but also to the infant. With the child being born to a teenage mother it can cause health, social, and emotional problems.…
