Single-parent families are more common that ever, but that does not make the situation any easier or less stressful. Being both a father figure and a mother figure to a parent is nearly impossible, and having only 1 set of hands to have everything doesn't help.
As a single parent, you may be responsible for all aspects
of day-to-day child care, which can result in added pressure, stress and
fatigue. If you're too tired or distracted to be supportive
or discipline your child, behavioral problems might arise.
In addition, single-parent families generally have lower incomes and
less access to health care than those with 2 parents. Juggling work and children can be
financially difficult and socially isolating. You might also worry about
the lack of a male or female parental role model for your child.
Webster's New World Dictionary defines parenting as work or skill of a parent in raising a child or children. The same definition applies to single parenting, except in this case the single parent assumes the role of both father and mother. There are a number of circumstances that lead to single parenting: divorce, separation, abandonment, and death.

2. Journal
Define sexuality from a Biblical perspective
What would you do if you were pregnant or your
GF was pregnant?
Where would you go for help?
SEXUALITY--Key element of making us who we
are -- wholistic being
3. A.Teen sexuality – a person’s concept of
himself & herself as a male or female –
wholistically
1. Involves the physical, intellectual,
emotional, social, & spiritual dimensions
2.Show our maleness or femaleness in the
way we talk, walk, move, dress, laugh,
dream
4. 3.Teens must establish their own sexual identity
– sense of themselves as a male or female –
which is influenced by:
▪ Physical changes – hormones (body
chemicals) – mood changes
▪ Social changes – more peer oriented than
family oriented – peer pressure
▪ Media pressure –TV, movies, music,
commercials, which often imply that sexual
activity is necessary for mature person
▪“if you’ve arrived to
manhood/womanhood”
▪“if you’re a man, you’ll lay a girl”
5. 4. “THE LIE”
▪Seeing sexual activity as a natural
outcome of hormones working, or
natural outcome of our emotions
▪WE are responsible to give the culture a
different message
▪Values come into play here
Questioning, evaluating, & making
values on your own
6. B. For the Christian, sexual activity before
marriage is wrong –
God’s desire that we save that beautiful gift to be
shared in the context of marriage
Virginity is the greatest gift you could give your
spouse some day
ABSTINENCE is the ONLY choice
7. C. However, for those who choose to live
outside God’s principles, there are
consequences
Emotional
▪ Does more damage than most physical consequences
Pregnancy a possible consequence
Risk of STD
Transmission of HIV causing AIDS
8. D. Some choose to be sexually active & use
contraceptives to prevent pregnancy
▪ ONLY FORYOUR INFORMATION FOR MARRIAGE
Condoms – decrease STD’s, don’t eliminate
Oral contraceptives – the pill, does nothing for STDs
Foams – kill sperm, DON’T ELIMINATE STD
Diaphragms – don’t let sperm get to fertilized egg, DON’T
ELIMINATE STD
RU-486 or Plan B pill – kills fertilized egg, DON’T ELIMINATE
STD
Abortion – PLAIN HORRIBLE
ABSTINENCE ISTHE ANSWER
ABSTINENCE ISTHE ONLY SAFE SEX
9. ** In US, 1 out of every 9 girls b/w ages 15-19
become pregnant, however, birthrate has
dropped by 12% b/w 1996 & 2005
Due to contraceptives? RU-486? Abortions?
10. Unplanned pregnancy is a scary time
disbelief, consequences, difficult decisions
Need to talk to many people for input and advice
A. Decision-making process -- sources of help
1. fathers to be
▪ Active participant, rights & responsibilities
2. Parents
▪ Emotional support in spite of disappointment, hurt, anger, pain
3. Clergy
▪ Source of advice & support
4. School personnel
▪ Advice, assistance
5. Family planning counselors
▪ Bethany, Alpha Center – Christian Organizations
11. Identify decision to be made
What should we do now that we are statistic of teen pregnancy?
Identify alternatives
List options – marriage, single parenthood, adoption?
Consider consequences of each alternative
Pros and cons of each, weigh them
Choose best alternative
What’s best for you
Best for baby
Act on decision
A decision isn’t meaningful until it is acted on
Evaluate decision
Right or wrong?What could do differently next time?
12. B. Considering alternatives
1. Single parenthood
▪ Huge responsibility & life time commitment
▪ Raising child, household chores, financial obligations
▪ How much help from father & family members
▪ Both emotional & financial support
13. 2. Marriage
▪ Divorce rate for females who marry b/w ages 14 & 17
twice as high as those 18-19, or three times as high ages
20-24
▪ About 80% of teens who marry b/c of pregnancy divorce
within 6 yrs
▪ Often low incomes, little education
▪ Often feel socially isolated – difficult to fit in
▪ Adjusting both to marriage & parenthood - extremely
difficult
14. 3. Adoption
▪ Opportunity perhaps for better care, guidance, love
▪ It’s a loving choice
▪ Need to enfold people that are in desperate situations –
not isolate them
4. Pregnancy termination
▪ Nice name for abortion
▪ Certainly NOT an option for Christians
▪ Abortion is a part of the kingdom of darkness
▪ Blinding eyes to the truth
15. Fewer choices
Sports, job, college, friends outtings,
Health risks
Before age of 20, mother’s body is still growing
May not be able to provide for baby
Toxemia and iron deficiency
More likely to be premature or low birth weight
Financial problems
Paying for needs of child
Work without an education
Part-time job + education
Social and Emotional stresses
Can’t handle all that is going on
Want to be with friends
Too many changes and responsibilities
