// nothing @import "../css/default.css"; Documents Homepage Encyclopedia of Children and Childhood in History and Society So-Th Teen Pregnancy From colonial times through the late nineteenth century, the vast majority of Americans had chosen to marry and have children by their early to mid-twenties. Marriage and parenthood was a rational choice for people living in a society dependent on family production. Race, ethnicity, class, and region could influence individual circumstances, with rural areas experiencing the lowest age at marriage. Few people worried about teen pregnancy as long as the expecting mother married before giving birth. There was strong social pressure to marry before becoming a parent, but the high number of babies born less than nine months after marriage ceremonies shows that many young couples taking their marriage vows were already expecting a child. State codes outlining minimum-age-at-marriage laws followed English common law that permitted girls as young as twelve to marry without parental consent. The ability to bear children generally established the move from childhood to adulthood for most females. The capacity to do physical labor marked the change for boys from childhood dependence to a state of semi-dependence known as youth. For males, marriage marked full adult independence and its associated responsibilities. Physical capacities and life circumstance set the dividing line between childhood and adulthood, not age. Poor diet and common childhood illnesses delayed physical maturity for many. The majority of girls did not reach menarche (and their ability to have children) until sixteen or seventeen years of age. Many boys assumed strenuous jobs early in their

Teen pregnancy costs the United States at least $7 billion annually. Thirty-four percent of young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 about 820,000 a year. Eight in ten of these teen pregnancies are unintended and 79 percent are to unmarried teens. The teen birth rate has declined slowly but steadily from 1991 to 2002 with an overall decline of 30 percent for those aged 15 to 19. These recent declines reverse the 23-percent rise in the teenage birth rate from 1986 to 1991. The largest decline since 1991 by race was for black women. The birth rate for black teens aged 15 to 19 fell 42 percent between 1991 to 2002. Hispanic teen birth rates declined 20 percent between 1991 and 2002. The rates of both Hispanics and blacks, however, remain higher than for other groups. Hispanic teens now have the highest teenage birth rates. Most teenagers giving birth before 1980 were married whereas most teens giving birth today are unmarried.

The change from child to adult is an especially dangerous time for adolescents in our society.

The thesis of this research is that education, abstinence, and parental involvement are vital in reducing the rate of teen pregnancy. The findings supported this thesis, maintaining that prevention and intervention on the state and national level have contributed to the progress in reducing teen pregnancy over the last decade. Research methodology included a review of professional literature. The conclusion stated that teen pregnancy is not a solitary issue that can be solved with one specific strategy. It is both a cause and effect of larger problems, such as poverty, sexual victimization, child abuse and family dysfunction, all of which attest to the need of major social changes within the community, legislature, and the nation to implement effective changes to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy.

While higher than the state average, the teen pregnancy rate in the Hampton Roads region has declined since 2000. Why is This Important? Teen pregnancy is a critical public health issue that affects the health, educational, social and economic future of the mother and child. Teen pregnancy is closely linked to numerous other critical social issues as well welfare dependency, out-of-wedlock births, responsible fatherhood, and workforce development are all of particular concern. Adolescents are less likely to seek prenatal care because they are afraid or embarrassed. This factor and the immature physical nature of adolescents result in higher rates of low-birth weight babies than in other age groups. As the offspring of adolescent mothers grow, they are more likely than other children to have health and cognitive problems and to be the victims of neglect or abuse.

World Population Awareness Teen Pregnancy September 30, 2010 Teen Pregnancy Index USA Worldwide Young Adults Teen Pregnancy News 150 years ago, when lifespans were shorter, it was important to the survival of humanity for young women to bear children at an early age. Today, with longer lives due to modern medicine and sanitation, more infants are surviving childhood, and adults are living longer lives. Child-bearing is taxing on a young woman's immature body, often resulting in a very unpleasant condition called fistula, death of the fetus, and sometimes the death of the mother. Young women who bear children early are often robbed of an education, their ability to be gainfully employed, and they often become dependent on men who not necessarily good husbands or good fathers, or they live as single mothers with their children in a hand-to-mouth existence. In some countries, single women or women without a solid marriage end up sending their children into the streets. Egypt, for example, has 9% of its population comprised of street children. Young women who start having children early are more likely to have more children than their sisters who did not start early, who more likely got an education, started a career, and waited until later to get married.

Contraceptives as Only One Alternative C. The Adolescent Male's Responsibility The alarming increase in adolescent pregnancies in America has parents, teachers, social scientists and the medical profession worried. Sex education in the home and in school does not seem to be working. Further, the issues involved in teen sex are becoming more complicated due to the debate over abortion, the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases such as AIDS and the economic, medical and social toll paid by the mother and society with each baby born to an adolescent. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss nursing and its intervention capabilities in teen pregnancy. As professionals who are closely involved in the care of pregnant teens, nurses have the opportunity to impart information to their patients in what for most is a very difficult time. Therefore, the research will focus on such elements as what options or choices are available to the pregnant teenager; discussion of the adolescent's developmental stage; the economic considerations; education in childbirth; family planning information a utmx_section("View Essays") Category: Medical - T Common Topics Responsibility Conclusion Kraegel Kachoyeanos Worth Texas Landesman AIDS ... 1987 february 16 = (250 words per page) Click Here to Get Instant Access to over 32,000 Professionally Written Papers!!!
