When Pregnancy Strikes Teenagers

One of the most beautiful things living in this world is having a son or a daughter. It is what most couple dreamed of. Planning before making a decision of having a child is very important. It is not that easy to support a child until he or she becomes an independent person. Humans have been reproducing for billions of years up until today. As the generation becomes younger, the number of teenage mother increases and so as the number of unwanted pregnancies. Some people recognized this as an ordinary event, but in practical life it is a big problem to both the parents and to the teenagers. Let us further understand why these individuals risk their selves of getting pregnant. First let us know the current teenager’s attitudes and characteristics. We can see that teenagers were influenced by their environment. They become to try on things that they didn’t do before. Just like having premarital sex.

Doing things, which involved risk are believed to have an associated pleasure. Did you get what it means? Imagine yourself knowing that you are a minor in a bar for the first time. You saw that people drinking. All of them, including your friends. What will you do? Are you also going to drink? If you chose to drink, then you are one of those teenagers today. The youth is out of control. They perceive bad things as good when they know that every teen is doing it. Most teens are also into  dares. They love to be challenged. It is common for male teenagers where they like to prove to the girls that they are a tough individual. This is one of the reasons why increasing number of accidents involves teenagers.  Among teenage problems pregnancy is one of the most common. It is evident that there are now increasing number of teenage mothers. We can even see this in our neighbors or even in one of our classmates. Why did they do such an act? Can you think of any reason? It is natural that being in the teenage years involves love partners. They begin to make intimate feelings with each other, to the extent that they begin to create lust. It is strongly believed that wrong doings was done because of influences by adults or due to our own curiosity.

Parent’s role is important in taking care of a teenager. They must set rules inside the house as well as in outdoors. Aside from influences and curiosities a teenage can be in a high risk for pregnancy if she involves in night parties or bar hopping. It is a fact that when you drink liquor, there is a tendency that your sexual drive will increase. This is why premarital sex is common after night parties or bar hopping.  The teenagers need to be disciplined in terms of making decision. This is because there are many teenagers decided to involve in premarital sex not knowing the risk of such an act. Parents should also avoid over restrictions on their teenagers because this can result to curiosity, which can later lead to wrong act. When a teenager becomes pregnant the couple will likely decide to abort the baby because both  are afraid of the responsibilities. This includes the health support of the baby, daily diet, and educational support in the later life.

Abortion is the secondary problem of unwanted pregnancy. This procedure can increase the risk to several health problems to the mother. A good example is hemorrhage. To solve this problem abortion must be avoided and the government should provide a solution for this issue. This is because most teenage parents do not have a stable job to support the baby because of the insufficient requirements for employment. In addition most of them are rejected by their own parents. Therefore, the government should provide free health assistant and distribution of goods to the teenage parents to support their child. We should always remember that for every problem, there is a solution but above all the best way to solve a problem is to prevent it.
