Teenage pregnancy refers to adolescent females (women who have not reached legal adulthood) becoming pregnant. The reasons for teenage pregnancy can differentiate between numerous amounts of causes. Often, girls believe they are in love and have found the perfect boy in which they want to share something special with. Some researchers also believe that youth is not properly informed of “safe sex”, whether it is condoms or birth control. There have been a few cases where the girl believes the only way her partner will stay with her is if they become impregnated. Ultimately, in several cases, once the girl becomes pregnant, their partner is at an age immaturity and unable to support them and their future infant. This forms a result in teenage girls coping with the responsibility of a baby on their own, depending on if the parents are supportive of their pregnancy.
There are three major options that teenagers have to choose from when they become pregnant. They can decide to have an abortion, which is an emotionally straining decision because they are taking an innocent life. Consequently, it is harmful to a teenager’s body, risking the chance of being unable to conceive in the future. For every one thousand women in Canada aged fifteen to nineteen the abortion rate is 22.1 and the birth rate is 22.3. The second option is to keep the baby, but jeopardize the capability of being unable to support and care for their child. The final option is to put their child up for adoption. The pro to this alternative is the child will be able to receive the support that their child deserves, whereas the con is their child will no longer be theirs, they will belong to another family who will raise them as they please. Overall, teenagers do not consider the long term effects of sexual activity.
On average, the first menstrual period for most girls begins at the age of twelve. Therefore, girls are able to become pregnant in their earlier years, depending on the age they begin sexual activity. It can be an extremely detrimental process which severely affects the rest of their lives. In order to have a successful life in modern society, teenagers must completely their high school education and pursue a degree in university or college. After having a baby, teen mothers find they are restricted to furthering themselves in their education. It is a difficult life to handle at an adolescent age, juggling between jobs to support their child, care and attention towards their child as well as their own personal lives and satisfaction. They are at a stage in life where they are still growing and learning, teenagers aren’t mentally prepared or mature enough for the responsibilities of another human being. It is a decision that cannot be made based on rashness because it is undoable once you have a child in your life.
