Teen mothers are less likely to finish high school than their peers who are not mothers (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010). Adolescent parents are often poor relying on social services and many times as adults they are unemployed or underemployed (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2010).

The environment inside the mother’s womb can indeed have a dramatic influence on the development of a child but environment influences such as where the child is raised can have a huge affect on a child development as well. Children of a low income tend to live in more polluted areas, where the air and the water are polluted, pollution can cause brain development in children as well lung diseases that can be development in childhood or can affect them later in life.

Those on a low income are more likely to be living in poor housing conditions experiencing stress from overcrowding including noise, lack of privacy, having to wait to use facilities such as the toilets, poor heating and ventilation in winter, poor washing and cooking facilities, the house can have many hazards for a child due to architectural features, dampness, as well the neighbourhood cannot be safe or have poor facilities such as shops and parking.

Harlem, New York in the Twenties was a place where colored people had migrated to show their talents. It was a time when African American Artist, Writers, Dancers, Musicians, and Doctors decided to show the world how spectacular they were.

I was born in Bronx New York, and moved when I was just about to start Kindergarten. I had a lot of family who still lived in the Bronx so I would spend a tremendous amount of time visiting my cousins. I guess you could say I was basically raised in the Bronx. As a child growing into my teen years I would hangout in the school playgrounds to play Basketball with my cousins and who ever wanted to play ball. I was first introduced to the N word when I was around 10 years old. I heard it while I was playing with my cousins and a group of older kids were sitting at a table talking. The part that was odd is that some of those kids were black and white. As I grew up the N word followed me into Brewster NY where I resign currently. I had many

Summary: This article goes on to explain the major problems of teenage pregnancy. Around the world 11 per cent of births are giving from women who are just 15 to 19 years of age. 95 per cent of these is in developing countries. Teenagers are more at risk of dying during labor. When an adolescent gives birth to a baby the fact that they are still teens gives them less of a chance of surviving labor. They are more at risk of dying during birth than an adult would be. Teenage pregnancy is more common in less developed countries.

Our first stop in the borough of Brooklyn was Coney Island. I have never visited the area before and was excited that after 20 years of living in New York City I was able to visit the seaside community. Coney island was once an island adjacent to Kings County. However, what was once small creek that separated island from the mainland was later connected by landfill creating a peninsula. It had received its name from when the Dutch settled into the land. It was called the island Conyne Eylandt or the Rabbit Island since it is shaped like a rabbits foot. The area is known for its seaside resorts

I did a little more research on the above listed topic while on the County Health Ranking Website. I found that teen births and be linked to unsafe sexual practices. The information also said that teen mothers are less likely to receive prenatal care and are more likely to delivery babies with low birth rates (county health rankings, 2016). I also found out “that each year approximately 443,000 premature deaths can be linked to smoking” (county health rankings, 2016). Of course we all know that smoking can cause major health issues like various types of cancer, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease and can contribute to low birth rates (county health rankings, 2016). Adult obesity is considered for people over the age of 20 with a BMI greater than or equal to 30kg/m2(county health rankings, 2016). This health risk can also be linked to severe health disorders like type 2 diabeties and coronary heart disease to name a few. Obesity is usually caused by a poor diet and the lack of physical activity (county health rankings, 2016). Lastly, we will take a look at Poor or Fair health. This was measured by self reporting. Survey taker were asked about their general health and they self reported that a health status of either poor or fair

AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies

New York City is made up of five boroughs, which include the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Within these boroughs, there are high and low-income neighborhoods that contain either high or low status organizational structures or facilities. Each division has their own characteristics and top attractions, such as the Empire State building, Central Park, or Times Square. As New York City may be known for great food and fun attractions, New York faces infrastructure problems within each borough. New York City’s infrastructure funding is limited in lower income neighborhoods, where money needed to upkeep the city goes toward prime tourist’s areas or residents living in high status neighborhoods, such as The Upper East Side of Manhattan, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and Lenox Hill, Manhattan. Moreover, abandoned buildings, poor sewage conditions, and rocky roads and streets are examples of low-income area infrastructure problems that may hinder neighborhood growth both structurally and economically. Harlem, East Brooklyn, and South Bronx are low-income parts of New York that lack new and refined facilities, roads, plumbing, and fundamental structures, which contribute to high crime and arrests.

By having all these new problems to deal with without a fully developed maturity the mother can also suffer from emotional and mental stagnation. Her peers may reject her as society deems teenage pregnancy unacceptable. She may feel humiliated and ashamed after her pregnancy begins to show, so then she refuses to finish school and as a result she lessens her ability to effectively raise her child. When teenage mother are pregnant, they are the least likely of all maternal age groups to get early and regular prenatal care. There are many teen mothers who receive late or no prenatal care at all. After giving birth, the majority of girls drop out of school in order to care of the baby. If there is no one else to share the endless amount of work, she must assume full responsibility. She may be forced to pursue employment with a minimal of earning potential due to her lack of education. This scenario tends to breed an unstable and financially insecure parent, and the child may also suffer from neglect by the constantly working mother.
