The Problem Of The Female Youth Population

Most girls as young as ten years were viewed as adults and they were married off to rich men without their consent. Despite their tender age, they were expected to bear children for the husband. Physiologically and psychologically the young girls were not prepared. This made childbirth a dangerous process. It was estimated that 20% of girls giving birth died during childbirth (Bitel 3).

These children’s go outside and end up in a bad influence. One of the impact of this on girls is sexual assaulted and teenage age pregnancy. In this society, there’s a high number of teenage pregnancies. These teenagers have sexual intercourse, but they don’t recognize the consequences of it. It is said parents are so busy with their lives that they don’t have time for their kids. Some parents are alcoholic, which is why they can’t take care of their kids. As a result, children’s go outside to find the love which they didn’t have from home. For every teenager the love of a parent is important. If he or she finds love from home, if they are taught what can happen to girls outside, they would be more protective for themselves. I believe that parent’s should do proper care of children’s and girls should be more protective of themselves to prevent them from pregnancy. Firstly, a child being pregnant doesn’t look good. When one is a child herself, she’s the mother of another child. How’s the girl supposed to take care of the child when she’s growing up, plus knows nothing about it. A teenage mother does not like anyone to make fun of her or to talk behind her back. Pregnancy suits a married woman because a person has been matured at this time and a child knows who’s her father and mother. In addition, child pregnancy takes away childhood dreams. A person can’t study well when she has to take care of a little

All of those disadvantages for women in modern society are affecting young girls, and it is hard to raise daughters in today’s culture. We as a country should not just let this inequality continue. Men and women should be treated equally and it is important for parents to raise their kids to make the future less

Evaluation: I choose this article because it goes into details to describe why it’s unhealthy for teenage girls to start having kids when they are still teens. It shows what happen when young adults are not properly educated about sex. Therefore, teenage pregnancy is more common in less developed countries because they are not teaching kids how to properly protect themselves during sex. It tells us why it’s unhealthy for teenage girls to be having unprotected sex. And, also it shows us why teenagers are at a much have the rate of not serving labor than adults women are. I plan on using this article in my writing to inform my reader why it’s unhealthy for adolescents to be pregnant at such a young

The opponents of birth control to teens overlook the fact that providing birth control to teenage girls would make sex much safer. Certainly, the unsteady rate of teenage pregnancies would decrease. In previous times, girls between the ages of 16-17 would get pregnant unintentionally. However, in this era, 13 and 14 year old girls are having babies-teens who are completely unprepared to give birth and raise a child. In these instances, if the child is not given up for adoption, the responsibility usually becomes that of the parents. In addition, when teenagers are protected from unwanted pregnancies the number of teen abortions taking place each year could be reduced significantly. According to Guttmacher.org, some states in the U.S have reported that 50 percent of pregnant teens receive an abortion. Not only is this a costly procedure, but it is also

“There are about 250 millions of adolescent girls live under poverty.” When I first saw this fact, I realized that you and me are actually the ones who are lucky. At the time we complaint about the taste of our food or the style of our clothes, those girls are worried where to get their next meals or what will happen in their futures.

Girls all over the world are forced into marriages due to financial necessity, tradition and to ensure their future. Most of these girls married are at a young age: “One third of the world’s girls are married before the age of 18 and 1 in 9 are married before the age of 15”( “Child Marriage Facts and Figures”). The young ages of those being married reveal how crucial it is to resolve this problem. When child marriage occurs the parents of the bride usually chose the groom for their daughters; and these grooms can be three times older than the young brides. Some children are brought into the world of marriage at the of 8 or sometimes less depending on their cultural views. The following can be used to help reduce the impact of early

The child mortality rate of countries with least educated women are increasing at a rapid pace. According to World Education Blog, it was written that “Using data from 26 countries, child mortality rates for sub-Saharan Africa in 2008 had fallen from the weighted regional average to the level for the children of mothers with at least some secondary education, about 1.8 million lives would have been saved.” Through education, children are able to receive better maternal care. A mother who has access to knowledge and health resources are able to take care of their children in excellent circumstances. Many deaths are results of diseases and other epidemics, proper vaccinations and health procedures can prevent this from happening. Sometimes child mortality occurs due to unplanned pregnancy or poverty. An educated women is aware of the importance of birth control and contraception making them an expert at planning the future of the family. They can plan how many kids they can afford to take care of and if they unable then other options such as adoption. Another reason for child mortality is the beliefs of certain communities were women or girls are depicted as a liability. Many women goes through the process of abortion or abandon baby girls, as they cannot carry forth the family lineage and sometimes needs to pay dowry to get marries . Educated women are aware of their potential and see themselves as more than a role of a birth giver in the society. They are aware of what women can do and sees the importance to promote education. They also receive the ability to stand up against many unreasonable social beliefs like these.

Though it is looked down upon by society, underage girls are constantly being forced into marriages. The United Nations Children’s Fund estimates that two-fifths of all African girls are married before the age of 18. In these areas of poverty, the people are also extremely uneducated about sex and contraception, and young women are getting pregnant at younger and younger ages. Africa has one of the highest fertility rates in the world, yet their knowledge and use of contraception is extremely low. In some cases, this is due to the extremist religions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Like some religious groups in America, these people believe that contraception is a form of blasphemy. Because of social pressures like these, more than two thirds of women are not currently using modern contraception. And when these women become pregnant, there is a one in thirty-one chance that they will have complications with the pregnancy and die. This cycle of underage marriage, pregnancy, and death is one that Africa is working hard to break. Women throughout the continent are taking charge of public health campaigns at local and national

Around the world, women have and are still battling for basic human rights, one of them being the right and control over their own bodies. They are fighting for reproductive freedom, for their sexuality and their right of fertility, but numerous barriers stand in their way of such freedom. These barriers include laws about abortion, same sex marriage, contraception and proper education on these matters. Unfortunately, many governments fall under the pressure of some groups and there are devastating consequences. Every year, forty seven thousand women die from unsafe abortion practices (Amnesty International). Seventy six countries see same sex relations between adults as a criminal act and every year, roughly fourteen million girls give birth

Child brides are a little voiced problem that occur around the world. Fourteen million girls become child brides every year, a number that is increasing due to the growing populations of countries where child marriage is common (Fisher). I chose to focus on child brides specifically in Africa and the Middle East due to the high instances of child marriages in those parts of the world. In my research I also found that child brides are very common in South Asia and South America as well. In Niger, Chad, Mali, Bangladesh, Guinea, Central African Republic, Mozambique, and Nepal over half of girls are married before they turn eighteen (Fisher).This is largely due to traditional tribal practices, cultural norms, and an overall lack of education.

Author Louise L. Hay once stated, “no person, no place, and no thing has any power over us, for 'we ' are the only thinkers in our mind. When we create peace, harmony and balance in our minds, we will find it in our lives”. If we could all uphold these words of wisdom, it sure would make dealing with aggressive people in our world a lot easier. As we are all aware of, teenagers can be very egocentristic and feel the whole world is either against them or watching their every move. Female adolescents can especially have these feelings and are far more hurt by words than actions. In a recent survey done by the Journal of School Health, it indicated that between 10% and 17% of middle and high school adolescents report some form of maltreatment by their peers (Eisenberg et al., 2003), and 23% of female victims report being intimidated by other girls (Fekkes et al., 2005). These statistics are likely to be higher, due to the fact that most victims are reluctant to speak out and against indirect aggression.

Forced and early marriage is a fundamental abuse of human rights. Every single day around the world, women and girls are forced to marry against their will. When a girl is forced into marriage, she is now subject to sexual and emotional abuse and her childhood will forever be violated. Early marriage can have serious damage on the wellbeing of girls, through limited educations and employment opportunities, social isolation, domestic violence and rape. Girls who are married early are vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, and early pregnancy. Young girls are not physically mature enough to give birth and such a young age, which means it will put both the mother and baby at risk. The leading cause of death for girls aged between 15-19 is pregnancy and childbirth complications. Early marriage also has an impact on future generations. A child who is born to an educated mother is 50 percent more likely to survive past age five and are twice as likely to go to school. In fact, every year 13.5 million girls marry before their 18th birthday that is nearly two thirds of Australia’s population.

Girls who marry earlier tend to have poorer health and higher in risk of transmitting disease and HIV/AIDS. Very recently, the situation of children in need of special protection, notably girls vulnerable to sexual abuse and HIV/AIDS, suggests that early marriage is being used as a strategy to protect girls from sexual exposure (Innocenti Digest, 2001). Most decision for young girl to marry is as their parents believe they are protecting their daughter from HIV/AIDS. Other than that, some men fear of HIV infection have encourage them to seek young virgin, therefore uninfected partners. However, marriage does not offer any protection instead increase married girls’ exposure to virus as older husband may already be infected by previous sexual relationship. According to Rao Gupta and Geeta (1998), more than half of new HIV infections occur in 15-24 year olds, but girls become infected at twice the rate of boys. Other than risk on getting HIV/AIDS, other infection may arise due to early marriage. The risk of early pregnancy and child birth are well documented: increased risk of dying, increased risk of premature labor, complications during delivery, low birth-weight, and a higher chance that the newborn will not survive (Senderowitz & Judith, 1995).
