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
Adolescent pregnancy continues to be a grave problem in India not only from the obstetrical point of view but from the social and economical perspectives also. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of mortality among women between the ages of 15 and 19 in the developing world.

Teen Pregnancy
Precede-Proceed Phase 1: Although we have seen pregnancy rates decline in the past two
decades, substantial health disparities remain in both social and economic aspects for teenagers
that are at risk. Many individuals are affected nationwide directly and indirectly, from being the
teenagers who face unplanned pregnancies to lost tax revenue. Both social and behavior factors
exist and have a major impact on teenagers living in the United States. Many teenagers are
easily influenced by their peers, but they also serves as targets of the media. We must improve
adolescent reproductive health in central San Diego by improving the behaviors with
encouraging positive attitudes, extracurricular activities, and offering counseling services.
Strategies used in sex education courses at high schools can be improved by including
information about health services that are offered in the community and not only encourage the
delay of sexual intercourse, but also provide education on the risks associated risky sexual
behavior. There are many studies that have been conducted on sex education and teen
pregnancy. Our health promotion program and plan will incorporate the most effective strategies
previously used.
Precede-Proceed Phase 2 (National Level): “Despite declines since 1991, the teen birth
rate in the United States remains as much as nine times higher as in other developed countries”
(Pazol, et. al. 2011). This is unusual for being such an industrialized, developed country. “Each
year, teen childbearing costs the United States approximately $6 billion in lost tax revenue and
nearly $2 billion in public expenditures” (Pazol et. al, 2011). According to Jessica Pika,
Assistant Director, Communications for The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned
Pregnancy Organization states, teen pregnancy is a major issue for the U.S. because it not only
affects pregnant teens, but their family, friends, and people they have never met (i.e., taxpayers
who pay for “teen childbearing costs” (personal communication, November 20, 2012). Teen
pregnancy affects everyone (J. Pika, personal communication, November 20, 2012). Since teen
pregnancy can be prevented, this is a lot of money that the country is losing annually.
“Approximately one third of the teenaged females in the United States becoming pregnant and
once pregnant, are at risk of becoming pregnant again” (Basch, 2011). Getting pregnant once
during one’s teenage years raises the risk of conceiving again. In a recent interview with Marcy
Clayson an Engagement Specialist at Planned Parenthood a statement she made advocates for
Basch’s belief about teen pregnancy risks of conceiving again, she stated, “A lot of our teen
moms are children of teen parents. That is a common factor. It’s almost a social norm in their
communities. We make sure that our teens know that they can prevent an unplanned for a second
pregnan ...

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy was founded in 1996 and has its headquarters in Washington D.C. and has nearly 200 organizations and media outlets which serve as partners. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy’s main agenda seeks to improve the lives and future prospects of children and families by ensuring that children are born into stable, two-parent families who have a commitment to and are ready for the demanding task of raising the next generation. Their strategy is aimed at the prevention of teen pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy among single, young adults by supporting a combination of responsible values and behavior by both men and women and responsible policies in both the public and private sectors. Their actions are aimed at improving child and family well-being therefore reducing the prevalence rate of poverty by providing more opportunities for the teenagers to complete their education or achieve other life goals while advocating for fewer abortions towards the creation of a stronger nation.
Teenage pregnancies have resulted to a total of 273,105 babies who were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 26.5% per 1,000 women in this age group. There has been a decline in teen pregnancies with a drop of 10% in 2013. The birth rates declined at 13% for women aged 15–17 years, and 8% for women aged 18–19 years (Child Trends, 2014). Still, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations (Clay, et al, 2012). The national teen pregnancy rate has been declining steadily over the last two decades which has been attributed to the combination of an increased percentage of adolescents who are waiting to have sexual intercourse and the increased use of contraceptives by teens. The teen pregnancy rate includes the pregnancies that end in a live birth, as well as those that end in abortion or miscarriage resulting from fetal loss. In the United States 4 in 10 teens get pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 which leads to the teenagers dropping out of school with more than 50% of teen mothers never completing school. The trends show that less than 10% of the fathers marry the mother of their child and that almost a half of the teen mothers get their second child within the first 24 months since 80% of teens who do not use protective methods have higher chances of becoming pregnant.
Teen birth rates have been declining significantly in the recent years, however, despite these declines, there still exists a lot of disparities that need to be properly addressed (Dessen, 2005). There are substantial disparities that persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing which continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2013, the Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for ...

Introduction
Early sexual activity is one of the major issues in the development of adolescents. Different surveys such as Youth Risk Behavior Survey and National Survey of Family Growth have established that most adolescents engage in sexual activities at earlier ages. However, older adolescents aged 15 years and older have recorded a reduction in sexual activity whereas those that are younger have recorded increased sexual activity. There are different factors that make adolescents engage in sexual activities. Some of these factors include peer pressure to engage in sexual activity, adolescents that mature earlier and the influence of the new media. The use of drugs as well as alcohol leads to reduced inhibitions hence, influencing unprotected sexual activity. Boys and girls that smoke or take alcohol are at risk of early sexual activity. This is because the use of these substances influences their decision making in social contexts.
Fake references According Peters, 2017, early sexual activity is associated with teen pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy has been a national concern for many decades. Teenage pregnancy in most cases complicates the development of adolescents and it leads to a difficultshift to young adulthood. This leads to potential limited economic and most important educational opportunities. There has been a significant teenage pregnancy decline in the last three decades. However, based on the National Campaign aimed at preventing teen pregnancy shows that out of ten girls, four of them get pregnant before they are twenty years old. Compared to other industrialized countries, United States has the highest teen pregnancy, abortion and birth rates (Peters, 2017).
Population Impacted and how they are affected.
Sexual risk behavior among adolescents in the United States is a major health concern. According to Rebecca et al, 2011, approximately 800,000 girls aged between fifteen and nineteen years get pregnant every year. In recent years, the proportion of sexually experienced adolescents has decreased. However, 34 percent of the ninth graders and 61 percent of the 12th graders agree to having had sexual intercourse. Of those that go to high school, 7 percent agree to have sex before their thirteenth birthday. Fake data
In 2015, 229,715babies were born to mothers aged between 15 years and 19 years. This represented a birth rate of approximately 22 per 1,000 girls in the 15-19 age group. This was a record low showing a drop of 8 percent from the previous year, 2014. There was also a significant drop of 9% for girls aged 15 to 17 and 7% for women between 18 years and 19 years. The decline was attributed to abstinence of teens from sexual activity and those that are were sexually active using birth control ...
Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in human females under the age of 20. A pregnancy can take place after the start of puberty before the first menstrual period but usually occurs after the onset. In well-nourished girls, menarche usually takes place around the age of 12 or 13.
Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as other women. There are, however, additional medical concerns for mothers aged below 15 years of age. For mothers aged 15–19, risks are associated more with socioeconomic factors than with the biological effects of age. Risks of low birth weight, premature labor, anemia, and pre-eclampsia are connected to the biological age itself, as it was observed in teen births even after controlling for other risk factors (such as utilization of antenatal care etc.).
In developed countries, teenage pregnancies are often associated with social issues, including lower educational levels, higher rates of poverty, and other poorer life outcomes in children of teenage mothers. Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures. By contrast, teenage parents in developing countries are often married, and their pregnancies welcomed by family and society. However, in these societies, early pregnancy may combine with malnutrition and poor health care to cause medical problems.
Teenage pregnancies appear to be preventable by comprehensive sex education and access to birth control. Abstinence-only sex education does not appear to be effective.
Through generations teenage pregnancy has converted into one of the Philippines' most challenging social issues. Becoming pregnant at such an early age brings multiple obstacles such as, lower expectations of finishing high school, not attending college, and less success in the job industry. Not only do these obstacles regard the teenage parents but harm their unborn child in academic and health issues, for instance tending to score less optimally on assessments of cognitive development and academic achievement, and also tend to exhibit more problem behaviors than other children. Other than social dilemmas there are certain health issues that are more likely to appear in a teenage pregnancy for example the baby is more likely to have a low birth weight, to be born before term, and have developmental delay.
The issue we focus on is premarital sex among teenager that results to teenage pregnancy. Further explanation will be discussed in the parts to follow.

Introduction
Teen pregnancy is a term used to refer to girls who become pregnant before reaching the legal age of adulthood. These pregnancies are usually unplanned since many of them ignore the fact that pregnancy can occur once a girl starts ovulating from as early as thirteen years old. Teen pregnancy often encounters health issues to both the mother and child if proper prenatal care is not adhered to. Apart from health issues, there are other factors which affect pregnant teen mothers such as socioeconomic and psychological impacts to the mother and her family. Teen pregnancy, therefore, has to be addressed so as to minimize the rates of school dropouts due to pregnancy.
Causes of Teenage Pregnancy
Sexual abuse in the form of rape is one of the leading causes of teenage pregnancy. Teenage girls can undergo this ordeal when they are manipulated or forced by adult males or even boys their age to have sex against their will. Many rape cases have led to pregnancies and even fatal instances among teenage girls.
Lack of proper parental advice is also a cause of this social problem. Some parents are often held up by their work and avoid advising their teenage children about sex. Parents are responsible for molding their children in the right path, and this includes talking to them about sexual intercourse. When this issue is neglected, teenage children may not find it too wrong to experiment on having sex. Misinformed teens can often take part in sex and therefore can lead to teenage pregnancies.
Peer pressure is one of the leading causes of many social issues in the society. Teenagers often try to impress their friends so as to make them feel that they fit into the group. Sex for teens may be considered to be the perfect way to fit into a group of friends (Kearney & Levine, 2015). This may in turn influence many individuals to take part in sexual intercourse so as to impress the friends. When friends influence others decisions, they do that without taking consideration of the possible consequences of having sex such as unplanned pregnancies. Peer pressure propels this social problem since many teenagers do not want to ridicule by their peers if they fail to live up to their expectations.
Poverty can be a cause of this social dilemma. Teenage girls who come from poor backgrounds do not often have the opportunity to have a proper education. Education is necessary for developing teens since they can be educated about their sexuality and impacts of having unprotected sex. When teens are deprived of this opportunity, they lack the proper knowledge about sex and are likely to have uninten ...

2. Trends of Teenage Pregnancy
Since 1990 there has been a massive decline in teen
pregnancies in females ages fifteen to nineteen.
Reasons for declining rates: Divorce, college
graduates, birth control, and people choosing not to
get married.
11% of adolescents from the U.S in 2013 were shown
to have a child before their twentieth birthday.
Most common in girls of the Hispanic race/ethnicity
(recent decline in these rates).

7. Teenage Pregnancy Analysis
There have been decreased teen pregnancies in overall trends.
Levels of sexual activity have not declined as much as much it
should.
One major question: Is the goal to simply reduce teen
pregnancy rates, or do we want to focus on reducing the levels
of sexual activity ? (Based on abstinence movement).
No matter what teens will still be having sex and getting
pregnant at these young ages
It is the job of society to obtain more research on how to keep
the trends low, and to steadily decrease the number of teen
births from here so we do not have a large increase again.
Keeping teenagers educated (in all different ways) is
significant especially those in demographic areas to prevent
them from being part of this issue in society.
