...EARLY PREGNANCY Early Pregnancy is one of the most alarming issues in our world today. Many teenagers engage themselves in sexual inter course with their partners, their boyfriends/girlfriends, just to be "in" with their friends. A teenage girl being pregnant in early stage looked down upon with shame. Teenage pregnancy occurs due to many reasons. Some of these are; peer pressure, lack of knowledge, sexual abuse or rape, and teenage drinking. Peer pressure is an early stage of pregnancy, it causes sexual intimacy for the opposite sex. For example, if a teenager hangs out with a group who are sexually active, nine out of ten is sexually active too. Most of the teenagers option to have sexual intercourse because they need to achieve the acceptance given by the "circle of friends". 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 . Their parents must also help them to know more about the privacy and the sacredness of having sex. Teens can become pregnant as a result of sexual abuse or rape. Between 43 and 62 percent of teen lack of knowledge 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. Teen drinking can cause an unexpected pregnancy, according to the website Love to Know. Many teens experiment with...

...Anthropology of the Filipino People I Filipino Prehistory Rediscovering Precolonial Heritage By: Felipe Landa Jocano A Book Report Submitted by: Alexson T. Battung A student of Bachelor of Arts in History 1-1 Submitted to: Prof. Maria Rhodora Agustin Professor in History I. Introduction This book is the revised and expanded version of an earlier one, entitled Philippine Prehistory: An Anthropological Overview. Many new archaeological materials have been recovered since its publication in 1975, requiring changes in the earlier descriptions and interpretations of Philippine prehistoric society and culture. The title of this new edition is focusing in keeping with the currently emerging national consciousness which seeks to uncover the roots of Filipino cultural identity. I guess that the objectives of this book or this study are considered in four purposes. First, to reconstruct obscured by external influences- particularly those of the earlier interpretations of prehistoric events in the country. Old assumptions, including our earlier views, have to be reexamined and revised in the context of new data and new scientific thinking in...

...21, 2014 Comp 105 Early pregnancy is a serious problem for teenagers. Teenagers who are pregnant cannot usually support the child on their own. Early pregnancy can have various possible reasons. This paper focuses on determining the possible reasons for early pregnancy among teenagers. Victims of child abuse and/or neglect are at increased risk for delinquency and running away. However, existing research indicates that the relationship is not inevitable, because the majority of childhood victims do not manifest these problem behaviors. Significantly less is known about connections between childhood victimization and other problem behaviors, such as teenage pregnancy, alcohol and illicit drug use and abuse, and self-destructive behavior. Current knowledge about these outcomes is sparse and only suggestive. Further research is desperately needed to document whether abused and/or neglected children are at increased risk for these adolescent problem behaviors, in comparison to control children and adolescents, and to indicate the extent or magnitude of these relationships. Despite the paucity of research, one can still speculate on some of the potential mechanisms that may link childhood victimization and adolescent problem behaviors (Lamb and Ketterlinus 140). Childhood victimization appears to increase risk for the development of a range of problems in adolescence, including delinquency and violence, running away, sexual promiscuity and teenage pregnancy, and alcohol and drug...

...Introduction Background of the Study Teenage pregnancy is one of the major social issues that have been talked about in our society today. The glaring truth that this issue involves teenagers entering their motherhood stage is an unpleasant thing to be talked about, but is one issue that is greatly repeated too often. The society faced with this ugly scenario of teenagers at their very young age, already having their children of their own. Most of these early pregnancies take place in various countries, but are most common to those who have higher rates of poverty associated with lower educational levels that leads to other poorer life factors. In a featured story written by William A. Ryan, 2006- UNFPA (United Nations Fund for Population Activities), he emphasized that in the Philippines, every year, among the poorest fifth of the Filipino population, 13 out of 100 girls aged 15-19 give birth. There is an estimated 26% of early pregnancy in the Philippines and about 92% of these pregnancies were unplanned, leaving the thought of teenagers most commonly in the slum areas being impulsive and are now faced to make critical decisions whether to accept their early pregnancy, to stop school and go to work, or even worse, abort the child in their womb. The researchers landed with this connection of poverty and teenage pregnancy giving rise to many factors this issue on early pregnancy could end to. Since they are teenagers and their pregnancies were most likely unplanned leaving them...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY. Pregnancy is the state of being pregnant. It is also defied as a situation where by a woman or female animal having a baby or an egg or a young animal developed inside her baby. Unwanted pregnancy on the other hand means the pregnancy which occurs as a result of illegal in evolvement in sexual intercourse by both sexes. It is said to be unwanted or illegal because both sexes have not been legally united either by law or Religions doctrine or authorities under the caption of marriage. Abortion is believed to be a deliberate ending or termination of a pregnancy at an early state. Marriage is said to be a relationship between a husband and a wife to live or co-husband as such for life Thus early marriage could be seen as any marriage contracted unintentionally or that which is contracted by way of duress or undue influence. Unfortunately, most young girls in secondary school in Nigeria today see to it that sex is a golden slice or a do or die affair and as such when at their dangerous stages or period, they still fail to keep boys or man at arm’s length which at long last leads to unexpected pregnancy. Hence proper arrangements or precautionary measure not put in place as regards such pregnancies. The next idea as the only option that readily come to their winds at this point is abortion through any means which most of the time take their lives or endanger lives in such situations. Norststill, most girls in secondary...

...Adolescent pregnancy is considered as a pregnancy in a female who is less than 20 years of age at the end of the pregnancy. It can occur in a fertile female either at puberty before the occurrence of her first menstrual period, or after the first period. The first menstrual period in nourished girls occurs at around 12 or 13 years of age. Pregnant teenagers experience many issues similar to other women. However, there would be other medical issues for mothers under 15 years. Teenage mothers of ages 15 to19 face socioeconomic issues rather than biological issues. Underage pregnancies are associated with high biological risks such as anemia, premature labor, and low birth weight among others (Creatsas & Elsheikh, 2002). In countries that are developed, underage pregnancies are associated with social issues such as poverty, low education levels, and poor upbringing of children. Teenage pregnancies in these countries are normally outside marriage, and it bears a social stigma in the society. Some of the same reasons may apply in developing countries. However, in these countries there may also be other reasons such as early marriages. In poor areas of developing countries, early pregnancies may be followed by high risks due to factors such as malnutrition and poor health services. Teenage pregnancies exist in all societies. However, the levels of these pregnancies differ with countries. For example, the rate of teenage pregnancies in Netherlands is 12 pregnancies out of 1000...

One of the toughest parts of trying to get pregnant has to be playing the waiting game each month to see whether or not you get your period and, of course, whether or not you wind up with a positive home pregnancy test.

Some people have basic questions about how pregnancy happens. Some may have questions about avoiding a pregnancy. Others are considering pregnancy and have questions about pre-pregnancy health, or infertility. And some may wonder about options for an unintended pregnancy.

...TEENAGE PREGNANCY Introduction One should start by saying that teenage pregnancy is a complex and controversial social issue in the USA of teenage females getting pregnant. In the underdeveloped countries the practice of having teenage pregnancies is not unique but rather is usual since most women are expected to be married and have children before they turn 20. The problem for the society with teenage pregnancies is that teenagers are believed not to be ready emotionally and financially to raise their children even though they are indeed physiologically capable of producing offspring. Teenage girls when getting pregnant typically are involved in some form of school education and do depend on their parents and relatives at least to a certain degree. In most cases the father of the baby in teenage pregnancy is of similar age and thus is also financially and emotionally unprepared to raise a baby. Dependence on his parents is also the fact. Body Teenage pregnancy rates have gone up over the years. This is due to our exposure to sexual content on television and our lack of sexual orientation we give our kids or our parents give us. Teenage pregnancy has been labeled as a major social and health problem and has become a key policy area in several industrialized countries. In England, current policy aims to have teenage pregnancy rates for under-18s by 2010, and to reduce teenage parents’ risk of...
