Teenagers, you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them as we have heard many times before. Teens are the future to come and we need to take advantage of reaching out to this special population and invest our time and energy in this vibrant generation. It is very important to have staff up to date on the latest new trends such as new resources that are available to help continue keeping strong teen services in our libraries. As quickly as new trends come and go we as staff members need to keep evaluating our teen services regularly. Teens are quick to question and judge the authenticity of individuals and are easy to walk away from an environment that makes them feel unwelcomed. Staff members need to create a mentor relationship

Teenage pregnancy is occurring throughout the United States, and it is a stressful time for everyone involved. The teen mother has to not only worry about herself, but now for the child that is growing inside of her. She will have to face the rude comments and looks she gets not only from her peers, but also random strangers on the streets. Much like pregnant teenagers in school, there are pregnant homeless teens: “Studies suggest that pregnant and parenting homeless youth and young adults face even greater social, health, and mental health challenges than homeless peers who are not

Patrica Cannon, the administartor of the schools infant center , states, “ She would probably be able to accommodate most of the currents waiting list before the year end due to the rate of dropouts”. Over 40 teens are on the waiting list. ANd 40% of the teens are already enrolled have children. Most of these young adults that attend this school come from a dysfunctional home.

In the article “Teenage Births: Outcomes for Young Parents and their Children “the Schuyler Center touches on many important topics concerning teenage pregnancy and parenting. The foundation speaks on how teenage pregnancy is a global issue and explains why teens often get pregnant along with the hardships that come with it. Although, according to them “teen pregnancy rates are at the lowest level in 20 years. . . ” (page 3) it is very apparent that being a young mother will defiantly effect your education and your child future.

Motherhood is cross-culturally regarded as vitally important. Historically, the concept of motherhood was defined as a woman 's primary “mission, profession, and an inseparable part of her nature,” (Leskosek 2011). In contemporary society, however, negative social and biological consequences are associated with young maternity in developed areas (Kramer et al. 2010). Teenage pregnancy is defined as encompassing all pregnancies between the ages of 10 and 19, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) (Males 1992). According to a 2010 study, teen motherhood is “discouraged, debated as a public health issue and considered a societal problem in developed populations,” (Kramer et al). Despite this, about 750,000 of the 20 million adolescent girls in the United States become pregnant every year (Macionis 2013). Rates of juvenile pregnancy and birth rates are significantly higher in the U.S. than in other Western countries (Basch 2011). Additionally, Dr. Naomi Farber, author of Adolescent Pregnancy: Policy and Prevention Services, asserts that, “Over one-third of all births in the U.S. are outside of marriage, and about 88% of all childbearing teens are unmarried,” (2014). Teen mothers are often subject to extended periods of loneliness, loss of educational and employment opportunities, and lower income than older mothers (Simigiu 2012). Clearly, adolescent pregnancy is a widespread problem in today’s society. Studies have shown that the transition into parental roles and

After researching the best practices for services delivery to the at-risk youth in Chicago, I discovered multiple resources. There were so many centers that provided information to the youth to help better them. However, only one of those resource centers was known for their best practices. That center is the Youth Outreach Services (YOS). This center offers the best practices in counseling, prevention, child welfare, and juvenile justice. The mission of YOS is that they believe every individual has the potential to find a positive way through life and have positivity in adulthood. YOS works in partnerships with their clients in order to develop the skills they will use for a lifetime. Their primary goal is to make sure local teenagers have the resources they need to deal with the current issues in Chicago, as well as, preventing them. YOS always provide positivity to the youth and wants to make sure they are proactive. They promote social engagement, help build self-confidence and help individuals manage their negative behaviors.

Understanding that there are certain criteria’s that a person must meet. In this case to not need a referral from DCF and to be able to find an agency that will guide the client towards the proper help that he or she may need or require. Once the client is at a place where he or she feels safe then that’s when the work starts for youth counselors and advocates. Ensuring that the client understands, the next step is important. Especially when dealing with a young person that has Mental Health issues, to add on pregnancy is a challenge. However this can be done with the proper shelter for the consumer, and the knowledge following for the consumer to live a safe, comfortable

What races or cultures have the highest pregnancy birth rates? I would take that information and focus in on that area to try to prevent the rate from increasing. According to the CDC for 2013-2014 the highest teen pregnancy rates were found among American Indians, non-Hispanic blacks and Asian/Pacific Islanders.1 I would look at what these races have in common when dealing with teen pregnancy and apply a solution to the problem. If it was a lack of education about safe sex I would increase that or if it were lack of available birth controls I would talk to the community leaders about accessibility.

“The national birth rate among teens aged 15 to 19 has increased by 1.4 percent from 2006 to 2007. In total, This equates to 42.5 births for every 1,000 females in this age group. Many teenage parents, Especially teen moms choose to drop out upon giving birth to that child.” (Grace chen 2015) It shows us how not having a day care system rises the dropout rates and not only that but it makes the mother’s life harder to take care of a child without a education to help the child. Grace chen said “Should public schools provide teenage parents with daycare ?” Grace Chen is an avid education researcher and writer, as well as a educator.Grace is sincerely concerned about the current education crisis, where public schools have been forced to work within debilitating budgets, and she also believes that significant education reform is needed in traditional public schools to help them educate our country's children to their fullest

Issues may include, no change in the behavior of teens or the program may be to costly. People, especially parents, may worry their teens will not be affected by the outreach program, but the goal is to ensure success and prosperity among troubled teens in the community. The center will make sure all children will become better individuals not just for themselves, but also for the lives around them. Also, with the help of all members and businesses from the community, cost will be covered. The lives of many teens will be
