Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006). A significant risk factor identified by the National Center for the Prevention of Teenage Pregnancy (NCPTP) is that 75% of pregnant teens have mothers who were also pregnant as a teenager (VanLenten, 200?). The lifestyle of the average teenager is not conducive to fetal development. Teen mothers are more likely to smoke, eat a fast food diet, less likely to have adequate prenatal care, and more
Wal-Mart V.S. Target Wal-Mart’s is known all around the world by the blue and white label “Great Value” Great value is a brand that allows you to get all the exact same foods you want, but at a cheaper price.

Tall, short, skinny and fat are all distinctive traits that people may have. But these are more than just mere physical traits though; they are also traits that contribute to a person’s identity. 80% of 10-year-old girls have dieted. 90% of high school junior and senior women diet regularly.

Tashalla Young Professor Austin English 1301.BH1 September 26 2012 The Diversity in Teen Parents A former high school teen parent and graduate, Tashanna Forman said, “With all the teen parents in the world today, you would think people around them would realize that there are many different types of young parents and not every teen parents is the same” (Forman). Her statement is broadly true and completely relevant to the world today. Forman was speaking on how most people are narrow minded to the teen parent world, in today’s society. Some people believe if one high school student gets pregnant and her friend ends up pregnant a year or so later, they must be having some sort of a pregnancy pact.

Every year in this country, educational activities and studies are conducted to bring awareness to breast cancer, especially during the month of October. However, there is continuing widespread ignorance about breast cancer regardless of how many studies have been conducted.

Abortion should be considered without any restrictions only if the mother’s life or health is at risk or incest has occurred.
