... Teenage pregnancy has been a problem of this country for many years. ...
Teenage pregnancy has been an issue of concern for many parents, especially for parents of young teenage girls. According to Alan Guttmacher institute, “78% of teen pregnancies are unplanned…”(3). I believe that teenage pregnancy can be prevented if more sex education was given to teens by their parents or their teachers. ... Poor education is only one of the causes of teenage pregnancy. ... “pregnancy rates among sexually active teenagers have dropped; decreasing by 20% between 1970 and 1990. ...
Although consequences such as “children whose mothers were age 17 or younger when they were born tend to have more school difficulties and poorer health than children whose mothers were 20 to 21 when they were born” (“Teenage Pregnancy”3) appear most teenagers have sex regardless. ...
It is important for sex education to begin at a home with happy and adjusted role models that will keep a teen from having sex and getting pregnant.
