This document discusses teenage pregnancy, including definitions, statistics, causes, and effects. It notes that teenage pregnancy is defined as pregnancy in females under 20 years old. Black and Hispanic teenagers have the highest rates of pregnancy, while whites and Asians have the lowest. Peer pressure, lack of parental guidance, lack of education, sexual abuse, and alcohol use are cited as common causes. Potential effects include medical complications, emotional issues, worries about the future, depression, delayed education, neglect of the baby, and financial troubles.
Teen pregnancies are extremely common, with over 550,000 of pregnancies among teens each year. The majority of these teen pregnancies are unplanned. Learn about the must-know teen pregnancy facts by visiting Adoptions With Love: http://adoptionswithlove.org/birth-parents/teen-pregnancy-facts
This was a short lecture on teenage pregnancy given during the Phil Pediatric Society Central Visayas chapter Postgraduate Course last November 19, 2015 at the Marriott Hotel, Cebu City.
Teenagers are at risk of a range of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly preterm birth.
The reasons for this are complex and reflect a combination of adverse socioeconomic pressures and gynaecological and biological immaturity.
The obstetrician providing care for women in this age group should be aware of the potential challenges.
Studies have shown that delaying adolescent births could significantly lower population growth rates, potentially generating broad economic and social benefits, in addition to improving the health of adolescents.
A national target should be set to decrease the incidence of teenage pregnancy in our country .
Obstetricians should have a major role in such health education.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. What is teenage pregnancy?
-Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in
human females under the age of 20. A girl
can become pregnant from sexual
intercourse after she has begun to ovulate
which can be before her first menstrual
period (menarche), but usually occurs after
the onset of her periods.
3. What are the dangers of
teenage pregnancy?
A baby born to a teenage mother is more at
risk than a baby born to a grown woman.
-9% of teen girls have low-birth-weight
babies (under 5.5 pounds)
-Low birth-weight babies may have organs
that are not fully developed.
4. What race has the highest
teenage pregnancy rate?
Black and Hispanic women have
the highest teen pregnancy rates (117 and
107 per 1,000 women aged 15–19,
respectively). Studies show that whites (43
per 1,000) and Asians (23 per 1,000) have the
lowest rate of pregnancy before the age of
20.
5. What is the teenage pregnancy
rate in 2015?
Teen Pregnancy in the United States. In
2014, a total of 249,078 babies were born to
women aged 15–19 years, for a birth rate of
24.2 per 1,000 women in this age group. This
is another historic low for U.S. teens and a
drop of 9% from 2013.
6. Which country has the highest
rate of teenage pregnancy?
Although teen pregnancy rates have
declined considerably over the past few
decades in the United States and in most
of the other 20 countries with complete
statistics, the teen pregnancy rate is still
highest in the United States (57 per 1,000
15–19-year-olds), followed by New Zealand
(51) and England and Wales (47).
8. Overview
Teenage pregnancy is defined as an
unintended pregnancy during adolescence.
Approximately 750,000 of 15- to 19-year-olds
become pregnant each year, according to
The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists, though many teenagers do
not believe that they will get pregnant if
they engage in sexual activity.
9. Peer Pressure
During adolescence, teenagers often feel pressure to make
friends and fit in with their peers. Many times these teens
let their friends influence their decision to have sex even
when they do not fully understand the consequences
associated with the act. Teenagers have sex as a way to
appear cool and sophisticated, but in some cases the end
result is an unplanned teen pregnancy. The Kaiser Family
Foundation states that more than 29 percent of pregnant
teens reported that they felt pressured to have sex, and 33
percent of pregnant teens stated that they felt that they
were not ready for a sexual relationship, but proceeded
anyway because they feared ridicule or rejection.
10. Absent Parents
Teen girls are more likely to get pregnant if the have
limited or no guidance from their parents. Many
parents have busy lives that prevent them from
providing the guidance and support that their young
teenagers need to make good decisions on issues such
as sex, according to the website Parent Dish. When a
teen does not feel that she can talk to her parents
about sex either because they forbid sex talk or
because they are not around, she will more than likely
turn to friends for direction on whether or not to have
sex, resulting in misinformation and possible teen
pregnancy.
11. Lack of Knowledge
Teenagers who are uneducated about sex are
more likely to have an unintended pregnancy.
Some teens do not fully understand the
biological and emotional aspects associated
with having sex, according to
DailyRecord.co.uk. These teens may get
incorrect information from friends, videos,
sitcoms and/or movies. Many times, teens do
not have the knowledge needed to make
informed and responsible decisions about
whether or not to engage in sexual activity that
can alter their life.
12. Sexual Abuse or Rape
Teens can become pregnant as a result of
sexual abuse or rape. The Guttmacher
Institute states that between 43 and 62
percent of teens acknowledge that they
were impregnated by an adult male, and
two-thirds report that their babies'
fathers are as old as 27. Approximately 5
percent of all teen births are the result of
a rape.
13. Teenage Drinking
Teen drinking can cause an unexpected
pregnancy, according to the website Love to
Know. Many teens experiment with drugs
and alcohol. Drinking lowers a teen’s ability
to control her impulses, contributing to 75
percent of pregnancies that occur between
the ages 14 and 21. Approximately 91 percent
of pregnant teens reported that although
they were drinking at the time, they did not
originally plan to have sex when they
conceived.
15. Medical Complications
Medical complications often occur in pregnant
teenagers, according to the American Academy of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Too often, teens do
not seek adequate medical care during the pregnancy.
Complications that may occur during a teen pregnancy
include anemia, toxemia, high blood pressure,
placenta previa and premature birth of the baby.
Ongoing medical care is crucial to prevent these
complications from threatening the pregnancy and the
mother's well being.
16. Emotional Crisis
A teenager may suffer an emotional crisis if
she becomes pregnant and does not want
the baby. This crisis may lead to rash
behavior such as attempting to self-abort
the baby or a suicide attempt.
17. Worries about Future
Uncertainty about the future may arise when
a teen is pregnant. A teen may feel she does
not have enough knowledge to be a mother.
She may also have fears about how having a
baby will impact her own life and dreams for
the future.
18. Depression
Depression may arise when a teenager is
pregnant. The teen may fall into a
depression while trying to handle the
emotions a pregnancy creates and all of the
possibly negative feedback about the
pregnancy from friends and family. The
fluctuating hormones that a pregnancy
causes may also prompt depression.
19. Delayed Education
Education may be put on hold when a teen
becomes pregnant. Some pregnant teens
may decide to leave high school. Others who
were planning to attend college in the future
may put off that experience after becoming
pregnant. They may decide to focus on the
baby or getting married rather than
pursuing further education.
20. Neglect of Baby
Once their baby is born, teenagers may not
be willing or able to give it the undivided
attention it needs. A teen may not be an
adequate mother because she is
overwhelmed by the constant needs of the
baby. She may grow annoyed at the lack of
freedom to interact with her peer group due
to the baby.
21. Trouble with Finances
Financial difficulty may arise during a teen
pregnancy or after the baby is born. It is
expensive to raise a baby. Teens who do not
have full-time employment may struggle to
cover the basic expenses of life upon having
a baby.
