While the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy are felt most by young women and their children, it is important that strategies to reduce teenage pregnancy also impact on young men's attitudes and behavior. Teenage pregnancy is a complex issue, affected by young people's knowledge about sex and relationships and their access to advice and support; and influenced by aspirations, educational attainment, parental, cultural and peer influences and levels of emotional well-being. Pregnancy options- If you are pregnant, you have three options. First, you can stay pregnant and become a parent, with or without the support of the other parent. Second, you can carry the pregnancy to term (when the baby is ready to be born), and then give the baby up for adoption.
Some girls may think the only way to keep their boyfriend is to have sex with them and the thought of having their baby just to keep them or trap them into staying with them is also a reality which often times back fires on the girl. Girls now days are not so apt to remain a virgin till they are married. Times have changed with each generation coming of age. Young kids do not always think about what their priorities are and what they can do to help themselves keep on track with them. They often time just make decisions that will benefit them for the moment.
An unexpected pregnancy as a teen can be a devastating occurrence. It might change the entire course of his or her life to discover they are about to become parents. That is why it is so important for teens that are sexually active to learn the basics about having safe sex and protecting themselves from STDs and unintended teen pregnancy. I think that it is a good idea to offer young teens the different birth control options available such as the commonly known birth control pills or condoms. Also, today we have other options like the birth control patch, Depo-Provera (shot), female condoms, and IUD’s (inter-uterine device) to help lower and prevent teen pregnancy and the spread of

A child at such an early age can bring stress onto not only the girl, but to her family. If the girl was on birth control at the time, a child may not have to be born, lessening the stress to the already chaotic situation. The choice should, ultimately, be up to the girl. After all, it is her body. Birth control could also possibly reduce the pregnancy rate among young teens.
A young girl might be undergoing major physical and sexual changes and not be adapting to them very well, she might be unsure how to deal with all the conflicting emotions and judgment that goes along with her new body. When all the physical changes are beginning to occur within the teen, she could find herself the target of growing attraction by the opposite sex. If she finds herself the target of unwanted attention, oogling by men, she could be frightened and unsure of how to deal with this newfound attention. And while it may seem like a contradiction, she may also find herself attracted to the attention as
Women in the 1800’s were dominated by their husbands and expected to be submissive in every way. After Kate’s real life husband died, she decided to voice her opinion on this topic. Sometimes the rules and morals that society or religion teaches us, isn’t really what we want for our own lives. Especially when it comes to sex, romance or love there are a lot of different opinions. Certain cultures may teach that sex (of any form) before marriage is not wrong while others believe that our morals change as society allows it to.

Take into consideration, a pregnancy test is not administered before the school gives this pill…What if the teenager is already pregnant…This could lead to _________ *We need to say something about religion & something else about Birth control (not the pill) 1. If schools can’t give kids Aspirin or Motrin without informing the parents; then why should they be able to administer birth control without the parents
And don’t cry any more” because it is clear that he is going to have sex with Catherine and sexual intercourse can be perceived as the closest you can be with someone both physically and mentally and you wouldn’t have sexual intercourse with somebody if you didn’t love them. Rodolpho’s passion for Catherine could be represented to an audience in “A View From The Bridge” when he says “My heart dies to look at you”. This quotation implies that there is passion in Rodolpho for Catherine and their relationship and he is saying that it metaphorically kills him to see her upset the way she is in this extract. This then links to Rodolpho’s pride about her as Catherine asks him whether he is only marrying her so that he could become an American and he replies with “Do you think I am so desperate?” representing that he obviously cares for Catherine as he is marrying her out of love and not just so he can receive something that he wants (in this case his status as an American). Catherine also shows her independence in this extract as she says that “[She’s] not a baby” representing that she knows what other people (including Rodolpho) think of her but she disagrees with this and it gives a
Teen-Parent Communication About Sex When young people feel unconnected at home, family, and school, they may become involved in activities that put their health at risk. However, when parents affirm the values of their children, young people often develop positive, healthy attitudes about themselves, therefore delaying in sexual activity. The writer’s purpose(s) for writing these articles is because risky teen behavior is on the rise, and what are parents and families doing/not doing to promote safe behavior? I chose these articles because I am a teen parent, and I feel that if I had been able to have “the talk” sooner, more in depth, and more often, that it may have prevented my pregnancy. Teen Sexuality’s research showed a few things: Adolescents who stated that they were connected with their parents were more likely than other teens to delay sexual intercourse.
