Main Idea: Teen pregnancy and childbearing bring substantial social and economic costs through immediate and long-term impacts on teen parents and their children.

Evidences that support/s the main idea( at least two)

✔️ Based teen pregnancy prevention programs have been identified by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) TPP Evidence Review External, which used a systematic process for reviewing evaluation studies against a rigorous standard. Currently, the Evidence Review covers a variety of diverse programs, including sexuality education programs, youth development programs, abstinence education programs, clinic-based programs, and programs specifically designed for diverse populations and settings.

✔️ In addition to evidence-based prevention programs, teens need access to youth-friendly contraceptive and reproductive health services and support from parents and other trusted adults, who can play an important role in helping teens make healthy choices about relationships, sex, and birth control. Efforts at the community level that address social and economic factors associated with teen pregnancy also play a critical role in addressing racial/ethnic and geographical disparities.

✔️ Among 35 developed countries for which adolescent pregnancy rates could be calculated, Romania has the highest rate (61 per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2011).

Main idea: Being a teenager and finding out you are pregnant, especially if the pregnancy is unexpected and not wanted, can put enormous stress on a young woman and her family.

Main Idea:Most teenage girls don't plan to get pregnant, but many do. Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to both the mother and the baby. Often, teens don't get prenatal care soon enough, which can lead to problems later on. They have a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications. Risks for the baby include premature birth and a low birth weight.


Evidence that supports the main idea(at least two):

✔️Less than 40% of teenage girls who have a child before age 18 earn a high school diploma by age 22. Nearly 2/3 of teenage mothers receive public assistance, and their chances of living in poverty increase as they enter adulthood. Most teen moms receive no child support from their child's father.

✔️The challenges of teen parenting may last through generations. Children of teen mothers are more likely to perform poorly in school, repeat a grade, or drop out. The daughters of teen mothers are more likely to repeat the cycle and become teen mothers themselves.

Main idea:Twenty-six eligible epidemiologic studies, most from the United States (n=24), showed >47 factors with no evidence of publication bias for each metaanalysis. Use of contraception (pooled odds ratio, 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.35–1.02), particularly long-acting reversible contraceptives (pooled odds ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.08–0.45), considerably reduced repeated teenage pregnancy risk.


Evidence that supports the main idea(at least two):


✔️Eligibility criteria included (1) epidemiologic studies that analyzed factors associated with repeated pregnancy or birth among adolescents <20 years of age who were nulliparous or experienced at least 1 pregnancy, and (2) experimental studies with an observational component that was adjusted for the intervention.

✔️We performed narrative synthesis of study characteristics, participant characteristics, study results, and quality assessment. We also conducted random-effects and quality-effects metaanalyses with meta-regression to obtain pooled odds ratios of identified factors and to determine sources of between-study heterogeneity.

MAIN IDEA: Teenage pregnancy occurs because of the misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of teenagers about sexuality and sex.

Evidence that supports the main idea(at least two):

✔️The Philippines may not have the highest incidence of teenage pregnancy in Southeast Asia but the country has the highest rate of increase.


✔️Incidence is not only rising; those getting pregnant are also getting younger. Births accounted to those under 15 years old doubled in a decade.

✔️What complicates the already complicated situation even more is the lack of adolescent sexual and reproductive health education. This lack of knowledge compounds the tendency for risky sexual behavior among the youth.The teen pregnancy situation in the country paints a picture that negates the best interest of the youth, especially young girls. The lack and, most of the time, absence of education that could reduce risky behavior is not in their best interest.









Teenage Pregnancy became a dilemma not just on the Philippine society, but also to theworldwide community. (Teenage pregnancy, also known as adolescent pregnancy, ispregnancy in a female under the age of 20.) As years passed by, the number ofthe incidents increases and the case are getting worse. The age of theadolescents who experience this pregnancy gets younger and younger, and somecases of pregnancy happens to those who are victimize by rape.

In the texts given, most of the author  discuss the causes of teenage pregnancy and how it affects the life of the adolescents.From how it started to how it ends the youth of an adolescent. Most textsclaimed that the lack of knowledge about sexuality and sex may be the reason for the early pregnancy, and also the absence of good parenting. The teensalways look up to the adults surrounding them and most of the time what adults do is what the youngs are going to do for they think it is right and just. Somearticles says that those whose ancestors are affected by the teenage pregnancy in the first place, have a higher chance of getting involve to teenagepregnancy issue.


Being involved in teenage pregnancy leads to many other problem. It may affect spiritual,emotional, physical, and mental of a female at the young age, which is under 20 years old. It is a serious problem that we need to take action to prevent the cause of being pregnant.

We learned that not just the country of the Philippines have the highest rate of teenage pregnancy but also the country of  India and Yogyakarta, Indoesia. In India, runs to 11.8 million teenage pregnancy while in Yogyakarta, Indonesia has remained high reaching  1,078 in the year of 2016. The reason for this is not having proper awareness of what will happen after being involve in a premarital sex. People would  just be aware if the girl already know that she is pregnant. The effect of this is they took early marriage as the solution for the unwanted pregnancy, but in some cases, those young boy who gets them pregnant runs away from the responsibility and the girl will just be the one to face the consequences of what they did and take all the responsibility. Sadly, the female needs to stop going to their school for the health of their baby. For us, the solution of this issue is to get access to proper education on sexual and reproductive health to give the young people the  awareness to these kind of issues. If we promote this kind education it can give knowledge to the teens of what may happen to and how it can affect them so that they would not engage theirselves in premarital sex or if they can not avoid it,atleast for them to know how would they do it safely. It also involves family planning which means reducing rates of unintended pregnancy and reduces the need of unsafe abortion.
It is not just having a proper education in this field could be the solution but also for the parents to be able to discuss with their children and make them understand of  what will be the effect so that they can avoid this teenage pregnancy.
As a teenager, we don't want to get involve in teenage pregnacy because we have many goals want to achieve. We have many things to do and one of these is to make my parents proud. Teenage pregnancy may destroy our goals and dreams in life. There is always a right time for everything, especially pregnancy. And we can say that now,the adolescent stage, is not the right time. We need to use our mind and do what's the best for us and for our future.
Teenage pregnancy is no joke. Every parents must take good care of their children especially those who are in the adolescent stage for they have the higher risk of doing new and reckless things. Social relationship is also important, make sure they  are in a good set of friends  for them to be safe and to avoid being under peer pressure that may lead them to do things that can affect them badly.For us, the teenagers,we  must know our  limitation to avoid teenage pregnancy.
