TEENAGE

PREGNANCY
WRITTEN BY:
JOIE T. REFUGIO
One of the reasons for teen
pregnancy is the lack of sex education.
First of all, people want young people
to take self education, but this is not
enough, as their ideas only give
information that they have chosen to
keep. In most cases, teenagers make
inappropriate decisions as to whether
do sexual acts to obtain
Erroneous information from friends,
movies or videos. Secondly, the lack of
communication between young people
and their absent parents is extremely
important as parents are responsible
for educating their son’s and
daughters about their physical and
emotional gender.
Teen pregnancy is one of the most
difficult experiences a young person
might ever face when it interrupts
school, other plans and goals. It can
create an emotional crisis that causes
feelings of shame and fear. And it may
appear that you will crack like a glass
windshield under a load of bricks.
The stress of how you are going to
break this news to your parents might
be even harder, and help may seem
like an impossible mission to defeat.
Teen pregnancy is a reason for concern
among Filipino families because
nowadays lot of Filipino women
become pregnant as a teenager. Teen
pregnancy is a life-changing event.
Body changes that are difficult for a
pregnant adult women are twice as
tough for a teenager. Most young girls
are not mature enough to deal with the
possible social consequences of teenage
motherhood. Schooling and career
goals can become derailed.
Family household can suffer if the
mother must defend on others to
support raising the infant. Normal
pastime of teenagers do like going to
the malls, dating and playing sports
can also be affected due to the physical
limitations a female as to abide by
before the baby is born.
The best prevention for teen
pregnancy is education, medical care
and access to contraception. By
putting knowledge in their hands,
teenage girls will become more
confident and able to make healthy
choices about their developing
sexuality.
Because teens that are properly
educated about proper use of birth
control are much more likely to use it
during sexual activity. Although birth
control isn’t 100% effective, it
decreases the chance of accident
pregnancy.
The reduction of teen pregnancy in our
country is the best sense of duty. Everyone
can practice to prevent teen pregnancy in
their family and other people, is to inform
and educate the youth because without
awareness the next generation of children
won’t knowledgeable enough to make the
right decision that will not only help
themselves, but others also.
