Many teenage mothers find strength in their motherhood role but this does not come without cost to themselves or their children, as many teenagers are considered unsuitable to be parents and do not have the right support (B.). For this paper I have conducted two interviews and I have also done research on why it is harder to be a single mother as a teenager. Due to the financial, emotional and physical struggles that teenage single mother have, it is more difficult for them to raise children than single mothers who are older. According to familyfirstaid.org , the United States has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births in the “western industrialized world” (Teen Pregnancy Stats).
Single mothers and fathers have a hard time raising one child let alone two or three but yet they keep on having child after child. Society’s views on a few things need to change to be able to get the foster care system under control because if families could take care of the kids they had then there would be no problems. I understand there are special circumstances but the number of children in the system is outrageous. I feel like what has led my client to be put into the foster care system is his or her own parents neglect. This could be neglect of just the child or neglect of substances or responsibilities whatever it is they didn’t step up to the plate like they should have when they had they kid and therefore the government did and
When most women relied on male relatives or husbands to survive, her earlier experiences in life led her to a different outlook on how she wanted to live her life (Allen par 1). She supported herself by developing her intellect and living by her beliefs. By a young age, she was determined to change the views of marriage for women (Frazer par 2). As a child, her views of marriage were shaped by her own unhappy family life. Her unsuccessful and violent father moved the family many times, and her older brother was favored by her grandfathers’ will.
Vulnerable Mothers and Children HCA 340 Special Populations Instructor: July 28, 2014 In this paper I will analyze the barriers to medical services that vulnerable mothers and children have to endure. “Vulnerable populations include group of people whose health care needs exceed the average or who are a greater risk [than the average person] for poor health status and health care access.” (Christine Ferguson 2007, p.1359). When women get pregnant too young they become vulnerable due to their lack of education. It becomes too hard for them to continue school and raise a child at the same time. The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child.
Earlier in Europe, mothers had avoided strong emotional ties to newborn children because of the constant risk of infant death. As the emergence of the family as an important institution grew, so did a growing emotional attachment to children. Women started to begin breastfeeding their own offspring rather than hiring a wet nurse to do so for them. Love and affection was also focused on older children and adolescents, as they too were involved in the strong bonds of emotional attachment to their mothers. Families often had less numbers of children as a cause of the reduced rate of the rates of mortality of infants, and also often strove to provide their children with opportunities in the world that they themselves never had, which is a concept that modern families have too.
In order to get out of a poor family, young girls would hook their dreams on a relationship or marriage with a poor young man. They would get married or have a relationship, the woman would get pregnant, often many times. Trapping the young woman in recreating the same difficult lifestyle. Later, sociologists would call this pattern social regeneration, recreating the same difficult situations generation after generation. You advocated family planning , what you would later call birth control.
I was able to talk with some teen moms about their experiences of having a baby. I received some negative feedback, such as not being able to do the things I normally would do at sixteen and the responsibly I would have as a teen. I had a high chance of becoming a statistic in teen pregnancy by living in poverty and my child having issues when he got older because he would not have a father. The positive feedback from the teen mothers was encouraging. She told me how the love and bond between mother and child is so strong that you can overcome anything.
When my daughter was almost a month old, I was so overwhelmed with this drastic life change that I began to "space off" in a sense. I would be in a room with a group of people and in my mind I could be somewhere totally different. When someone attempted to bring me back from my "happy place" I would get really upset and sometimes cry out of frustration or yell at the person who attempted to bring me back to the real world which often times was her dad. It played a major role in our relationship and I began to question myself about everything. I felt like I was not doing right as a mother because all my child wanted to do was eat and eat and eat.
More and more teens are becoming pregnant when living the “party life.” It increases the chances of forgetting to use protection during intercourse. This can lead to unwanted pregnancy and an increase of abortion rates or unwanted pregnancies. It is a sad life for kids who are born into a world and left to a foster home or an adoption agency. There are many teens that just simply can’t afford to keep their child, so they just put them up for adoption. Adoption is not a bad thing, but there are plenty of kids in the world already, and we don’t need teens producing more.
