Many parents have trouble on deciding when to talk to their kids about birth control or just taking them to go get birth control. Parents have the decision on whether or not you support their teens on having sex by giving them birth control. Many parents face the fact that their child may get pregnant or get someone pregnant if they are sexually active. So, the problem is do parents give the child birth control or is it supporting their child to be sexually active? An unexpected pregnancy as a teen can be a devastating occurrence.
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.
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.
With shows and movies like Juno, The Secret Life of an American Teenager shows that being pregnant at a young age is no big deal and even cool. In these things they do make it clear that it is stressful but they don't really address why, they don't show you that it would be extremely difficult to raise a child and they don't make it clear that your whole life would actually be ruined. With celebrity teens getting pregnant it shows that it must be cool to get pregnant at a young age therefore it must be cool to have sex at a young age since all these teen icons are doing it. When in reality we should be looking down on these "teen icons" rather than looking up at them. They have made bad decisions in their life and they are getting publicity out of it.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Saundra Thompson COM/156 Version 6 June 23, 2013 Richard Franchetti Fetal Alcohol Syndrome A baby is the most precious gift, and when most babies are born they are usually happy and healthy. Some babies, while still in the womb, are subjected to mistreatment at the hands of their mothers. When those babies are born they may have some facial deformities which could mean they have fetal alcohol syndrome (F.A.S). No one knows for sure if the baby has it (F.A.S. ), so you have to keep watching for “signs”, but there is just no way of knowing, since there are no tests.
Peer pressure is so common in schools from middle school all the way to junior high. If parents aren’t able to help the next generation our future who will also be responsible for our future generations shouldn’t we give them a professional environment where they can actually learn how to be safe and handle the emotions and new feelings they get from puberty. Parents will argue against their sons or daughters to go take sex education. Fear is common that sex education will be a gate way to believing sex is ok. Sex education however provides different methods to prevent having STD’s or giving birth which happens without a basis of how to use protection.
Their action were overly extreme. Although this transaction from an obedient teen into an independent adult causes problems for many families it has to be done as Poppy Smith in How Can I Let My Children Go states, “ Parental control, so necessary at certain stages of our child's development, can be a hard habit to break, but it must be done. Giving our children-turned-young-adults freedom to make their own decisions is tough for many of
The effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on infant development Essentially, there are two occurrences in one’s life that are both guaranteed to happen and are entirely out of one’s control: birth and death. The conditions under which we enter this world can present issues that remain with us until we depart from it. When seeking reproduction, it is the mother’s responsibility to do everything within her power to ensure that her child is born in the healthiest possible state so that his or her chance of a healthy survival is maximized. However, without proper knowledge of the harmful effects that certain substances can have on the future development of an unborn child, it becomes difficult to clarify one’s behavior as unhealthy and/or damaging. Addiction, as powerful of a force as it can be, does not overpower the maternal instinct that many women feel, but can lead to current and future negative effects on the physical, cognitive and behavioral development of a child.
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.
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
