Teen pregnancy remains a significant global issue. About 16.4% of pregnancies occur among teenagers each year, with 80% being unplanned. Teen pregnancy can have serious medical risks for both mother and child due to the physical immaturity of young mothers. It can also have social consequences, as teen parents often drop out of school, limiting their economic opportunities and continuing the cycle of poverty. While rates are declining in many developed countries, proper sex education and access to contraception have been shown to further reduce teen pregnancy rates.
Teenage pregnancy refers to pregnancy in females under the age of 20. Pregnant teenagers face similar issues as other women but those under 15 are less physically developed and more at risk. Biological risks like low birth weight and preeclampsia are connected to younger biological age. Teenage pregnancy is also associated with social issues such as lower education and poverty. While rates vary globally, worldwide complications related to pregnancy are a leading cause of death among females aged 15-19.
This document discusses adolescent health problems in India. It defines adolescence as the transition period from childhood to adulthood according to the WHO, between ages 10-19 years.

Teen pregnancy is defined as pregnancy in females under the age of 20. In 2013, over 273,000 babies were born to mothers aged 15-19 in the United States. Younger teens who begin having sex before age 13 are more likely to engage in involuntary sex or have older partners, increasing the risks of unprotected sex. Teen mothers and their babies face higher medical risks, such as premature birth, low birth weight, disabilities, and even death of the baby within the first year. Prevention efforts focus on abstinence, open communication between parents and teens, and education about safe sex and birth control if teens become sexually active.

The key priority issues for improving Australia's health are reducing health inequities faced by certain groups. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, rural/remote residents, and immigrants experience unfair health differences. They are more likely to die younger, have lower life expectancy and quality of life, higher rates of disease, and less access to healthcare and health information. Addressing the social and economic determinants of health through government programs, community support, and empowering individuals is needed to improve health equity across all Australians.

Mental Health Conditions Among Children – A Growing ProblemSastasundar
Mental disorders in children are quite common, occurring in about one-quarter of this age group in any given year. The most common childhood mental disorders are anxiety disorders, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Adolescence is a developmental stage between childhood and adulthood characterized by physical maturation and changes in cognitive abilities. Puberty triggers extreme growth spurts and sexual maturation through secondary sex characteristics. While physical changes cause adjustments in body image and self-concept, cognitive development allows for more advanced thinking skills but also egocentrism. During this period of identity formation, teens face social pressures related to independence, relationships and worldviews that can threaten well-being through risky behaviors or conditions like depression.
Teen suicide is a serious issue, with suicide being the third leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. Risk factors include mental health conditions like depression, substance abuse issues, feelings of hopelessness, and family or social problems. Warning signs can include talking about death, changes in behavior or mood, and risk-taking actions. To help prevent teen suicide, it is important to be aware of the risk factors and warning signs, address any mental health issues, restrict access to lethal means, and foster social support networks and problem solving skills. Schools also play an important role through education, monitoring, and connecting at-risk youth with counseling resources.
This document provides information on physical and cognitive development during adolescence. It discusses the stages of puberty for both boys and girls, including physical and hormonal changes.

In your opinion, what are some of the most urgent issues related to adolescent and young adult
health?
Young people have to work through a broad range of issues as they move from childhood to
adulthood. They may have to deal with changes to their bodies and their feelings and they may
be thinking about having their first relationship or having sex.
Young people may also be exploring their identities in terms of their sexuality or gender identity.
They may want more independence from their families, and their friends may play a more
important part in their lives. Some may also want to experiment with alcohol and other drugs.
Although growing up can be an exciting time, it can also be confusing and challenging. Research
shows confident young people who feel supported by their families and friends are more likely to
safely negotiate issues like these. However, it is important to remember adolescence is generally
a time for experimenting with risky behaviours, even with good parenting and role modelling.
Teenagers and alcohol
Alcohol is one of the most widely used drugs in Australia. According to recent surveys, around
40 per cent of young people aged 12-17 have had a full serve of alcohol and around 60 per cent
of year 10-12 students have drunk alcohol at least once.
For young people, alcohol use is associated with a range of health risks, including:
· unsafe sex
· unwanted sex
· unintended pregnancy
· drink-driving and road accidents
· violence and aggressive behaviour
· criminal activity.
Teenagers and body image
Young people are at risk of developing a negative body image, where they dislike the way they
look.
The related health problems for young people can include:
· crash dieting and malnourishment
· eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia nervosa
· obesity
· steroid use (to build muscle mass).
Teenagers and bullying
Estimates suggest around one in six children are bullied every few weeks or more in Australia.
Young people are bullied by their peers for many reasons, including:
· the way they look (for example, if they are overweight)
· resisting pressure to conform
· their cultural or socioeconomic background or religion
· their academic achievements
· their sexual orientation or behaviour
· being ‘the new kid’ at school.
Teenagers and smoking
Despite widespread media campaigns, tobacco smoking is still popular among young people in
Australia, especially young women, though the number of young people who smoke cigarettes is
decreasing.
· Smoking tobacco increases people’s risk of:
· cancers of the lung, throat and mouth
· reduced lung function
· asthma and other respiratory problems
· damaged senses of smell and taste
· heart disease, major heart attack and stroke.
Teenagers and family life
Young people can face issues relating to family life, including:
· relationship problems between family members
· family violence
· abuse, including neglect and physical, sexual or emotional abuse
· separation and divorce.
For some young peopl.

Slide Share Assignment - Adolescent Health
1. Adolescent Health.
• DESPITE THE PRESSURES, AND STRESS OF BEING AN ADOLESCENCE , THE
MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS ARE WELL ADJUSTED. HOWEVER SOME
TEENAGERS ARE FACED WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
2. Sensation Seeking:
Developmentalists believe that teenagers may
have a heightened level of desire to experience
arousal.
What causes it?
Peer acceptance, and establishing autonomy with
respect to authority figures.
Permissive parents
Adolescents who don’t participate in
extracurricular activities, or teenagers who are
consumed with popularity.
Lack of maturity in the prefrontal cortex, and other
brain structures.
Media about sex, violence, drugs, and alcohol use.
3. Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco.
What makes a teenager want to use alcohol or drugs?
Those who express the most interest in “sensation-seeking”.
Shy adolescents, those who are high in neuroticism.
Authoritative parenting.
4. Drug & Alcohol Use:
Drug use among Canadian youth has been steadily declining since the
1970’s.
The average age of first drug use is 13 to 14.
One serious consequence of alcohol use is that 16 to 19 year olds have the
third highest rate if impairment driving charged.
5. Tobacco:
Cigarette smoking by
Canadian youth has
declined dramatically since
the 70’s, and has hit its
lowest point in decades.
Slightly more teenage boys
than teenage girls are daily
smokers.
Teenagers who smoke are
more likely to have used
other drugs.
Peer influence plays an
important role in teen
smoking.
6. Eating Disorders:
Eating disorders, which were once considered rare in Canada are now
among the most significant mental health problems during adolescence.
Eating disorders can be fatal, typically develop during adolescence or early
adulthood when the pressures to be thin are strongest.
Although more common in females than boys, gay and lesbian teens are at
a higher risk for eating disorders.
7. Bulimia:
Bulimia involves an intense concern about weight combined with binge
eating followed by purging by self-induced vomiting, excessive use of
laxatives, or excessive exercising.
Bulimics are obsessed with their weight, feel intense shame about their
abnormal behavior, and they often experience significant depression.
The physical consequences:
-Tooth Decay
-Stomach Irritation
-Lowered Body Temp.
-Loss of Hair.
8. Anorexia Nervosa:
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by self-starvation.
Physical Consequences:
-Sleep Disturbance
-Cessation of Menstruation
-Cardiovascular Problems
-Reduced Body Temp.
1% - 2% of female adolescents and young adults in Canada develop anorexia.
4% - 18% of those with anorexia literally starve themselves to death; others die
due to cardiovascular dysfunction.
9. Risk Factors:
Some theorists have proposed biological causes
for eating disorders, such as brain dysfunction.
Heredity factors contribute to the development of
eating disorders.
The most promising explanation lies in the
discrepancy between the young person’s internal
image of a desirable body, and their perception of
their own body.
However there has been more emphasis on pre-
existing psychological health of people who
develop eating disorders than on cultural
influences.
10. Depression:
25% of young women and half as many young men aged 16-19 had
experienced at least one major depressive episode.
Neuroimaging studies show that teenage depression is associated with
some kind of pituitary gland dysfunction.
Children growing up with depressed parents are much more likely to
develop depression.
Any combination of stress increases the likely hood of depression or other
kinds of emotional distress in the adolescence.
11. What Causes Depression?
Neuroimaging studies show that teenage
depression is associated with some kind of
pituitary gland dysfunction.
Children growing up with depressed
parents are much more likely to develop
depression.
Any combination of stress increases the
likely hood of depression or other kinds of
emotional distress in the adolescence.
12. Suicide:
More women than men experience
depression in their late teens, however
more male teens commit suicide.
Suicide is the second leading cause of
death for Canadian young people aged 15-
19.
Suicide attempts are estimated to be three
times more common among girls than
boys, based on hospitalization for nonfatal
self harm.
Suicide rates among Canadian’s Aboriginal
youth are among the highest in the world.
13. Suicide Continued:
Most medical treatment has been focused on the treatment of depression
associated with suicidal behavior.
Although we know suicide is related to depression, however other factors
do play a role:
-Triggering Stressful Event: disciplinary crisis with rejection, or some form of
rejection or humiliation.
-Altered State of Mind: sense of hopelessness, reduced inhibitions from
alcohol consumption or rage.
-Opportunity: a loaded gun in the house or a bottle of sleeping bills in the
parents room creates an opportunity for the teen to carry out suicidal plans.
14. Prevention:
Eating Disorders:
-General Awareness will help you avoid judgmental or mistaken attitudes about
food, weight, body shape, and eating disorders.
-Discourage the idea that a particular diet, weight, or body size will automatically
lead to happiness and fulfillment.
Depression/Suicide:
-Telling someone if you’re worried about another individual.
-Reduce alcohol and drug use.
-Treatment.
