Teen pregnancy is a problem in today’s society. Young or teen mothers really don’t know their options. Many teens today are not aware of the dangers in unprotected sex. They bring another life in this world without a proper care. We all know that teenage pregnancy can be reasons of poor educational achievement, poverty and a lot of health risk. Background/history Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy on a female under 20 years old. A pregnancy can take place as early as two weeks before the first menstrual period. Which signals the possibility of fertility.
One of the main reasons why the youth are clueless about sexual intercourse and consequences are the fact that the youth are misinformed about sexual intercourse. Teens nowadays are exposed to sex movies, internet, TV and other media forms which are not presented during earlier times. The problem now that arises is that the “barkada” has a lot of influence than the parents do. Teenagers who have friends who engaged in sexual intercourse are more likely to engage in it compare to those who do not mingle much with their friends. Purpose statement
