    Should society normalize teenage parenthood and create policies

    to support it?

    Teenage parenthood is often seen as a intimate topic, but perhaps it’s time to
    break the mold. In our world where unexpected twists and turns can happen
    anytime, teenage pregnancy should not be normalized but it should be
    supported with policies that will encourage them to realize their mistakes. It’s
    time to start treating teenage parenthood as a invalid part of the human
    journey especially when she’s still young and improving.
    Firstly, teen mothers face greater risks for physical and mental health issues,
    poverty and homelessness, and educational and career difficulties. It have
    shown that teen mothers are 3 times more likely to die during childbirth or
    from complications from childbirth. It’s because of their weak and still
    developing body. This increase the chance of giving them negative effects of
    pregnancy and also their offspring.
    Secondly, teen mothers have a higher risk of substance use, abuse, and
    dependency issues. It is also have shown that teen mothers are 3 to 4 times
    more likely to develop substance use or dependency issues, compared to
    teen girls who did not become pregnant. It is because as the first reason
    teenage mothers are still improving and balancing what life must be. They’ still
    depend on their parents because they’re financially unstable.
    Thirdly, teen mothers can struggle with self-esteem and self image issues.
    Several studies have shown that teen mothers can have a more negative self-
    image and self-esteem, and they are more likely to fall into depression. This
    proves that we should not normalize teenage pregnancy to prevent further
    issues of suicide and any other self harm cases. It all affect their baby and
    especially the mother itself.
    In conclusion, teenage pregnancy should not be normalized but we should
    create policies to support them and offer the resources and support that
    young parents need to build strong, healthy families. Let’s not normalize
    teenage parenthood whether its accidentally or not but let us create the
    environment of support and acceptance they need.
