By learning this important lesson, youths will be less likely to contract sexually transmitted diseases, and they will be safe from unwanted pregnancies that could lead to abortions.

With 66 percent of high school students having had intercourse by graduation, these numbers

Nutrition in Teen Pregnancy I chose the topic Nutrition in Teen Pregnancy because I find teen pregnancy interesting. I find teen pregnancy interesting because it is something that until recently was not heard of all the time. Over the past year’s teen pregnancy has more or less become a “norm” around the world.

Reduce Teenage Pregnancy in America A nightmare can strike, even when the eyes of it’s victims are wide open. It can be unexpected, terrifying, a nightmare to see the dreaded two lines on the test- especially as a teenager. Even if teenagers are old enough to decide whether or not they want to engage in sexual intercourse, the rate of teenage pregnancy should be reduced as much as possible.

Violence experienced from an intimate partner before pregnancy is the strongest risk factor for predicting violence during pregnancy (James et al., 2013) Teen girls were at greater risk of experiencing violence from an intimate partner during pregnancy and in early motherhood compared to older women (Brownridge et al., 2011).

Teenage pregnancy is a serious problem in Lucas County. The rate of teenage pregnancy has gone up tremendously over the years. Without a solution, there will continue to be an increase in unplanned children, born with health and mental disorders.

Instead, people in impoverished areas and teens have to try and teach themselves on what to do.Those who oppose the teaching of sexual education to people are stuck in the old ways of not wanting to have sex due to religious or moral standards.

The girl looked down at the pregnancy test, seeing those two straight lines, almost staring into the scared eyes of the sophomore in high school. One time, one mistake, and the girl’s life would be changed forever. In order to prevent devastating situations like this from happening, students need to be properly educated. If this girl would have learned how to safely use a condom or alternate forms of birth control, this crisis may have been averted. Teenage pregnancy and STD’s can be prevented if
