28. Teenage pregnancy

Definition and current situation of teenage pregnancy

Teenagers refer to children and young adults belonging to the age group between the ages of 13 and 19 years-old. The pregnancy of teenage children can be called teenage pregnancy.

In 1982, 1 million teenage girls aged 15-19 years-old in the United States were pregnant.

Of those, 500,000 gave birth, and the remaining 500,000 were either spontaneous, artificial, or aborted.

It is reported that 750,000 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years-old have unwanted pregnancies each year (Source; recent Aesthetics Association).

When teenage girls actively engage in sexual intercourse without contraception, 90% of them are pregnant per year (according to Pediatric News, July 2007).

By the time they graduated from high school, 74% of US teens aged 15-19 years-old had sex at least once or twice a week, and 36% of them continued to have sex while in high school.

Also, according to recent statistics, the pregnancy rate of teenage children in the US is decreasing little by little every year. So, the pregnancy rate of teenage children decreased by 20% compared to 10 years ago. According to a 2010 study, the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is on the rise again.

Teenage pregnancies and fertility rates posed a number of serious problems not only for teenage children themselves, but also for their parents, families, society, and the country, and have become a serious social cancer that cannot be corrected.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon is similar not only in the United States but also in countries around the world.

The teenagers themselves, their parents, the nation and society are all shouting that they should give them a minimum of unwanted teenage pregnancy.

To achieve this goal, we look at the reasons and motives for why so many teenagers become pregnant.

Nowadays Popular media such as newspapers, magazines, movies, TV, the Internet, and the iPhone are just dealing with sex topics indiscriminately without limitation. Therefore, it is the current situation that anyone, regardless of age, can easily access information about sex.

Through the internet, not only adults but also teens are simply exposed to sex information on the sex internet, such as Sex.com, without limitation, or it can lead to a method of finding a sex partner through various chat methods.

It is no exaggeration to say that today’s teens are completely exposed to various sexual problems.

Today, many adults view sex as if it were indiscriminately open. Also, as some new science has developed, the term “sex culture” confuses teenage children who are growing and developing.

There is no “culture” in sex.

The sex is privacy.

The “sex culture” that adults claim to be infiltrating into teenage children’s minds, and body without knowing it.

For this reason, teens sometimes become sexually aroused without their knowledge, and they are not even aware of their inappropriate sexual behavior.

Recently, in this society, we do not know what is right and what is wrong in the right ethical and moral standards. Many teenagers are confused as to whether or not ethical morals are needed in their lives. It is also ambiguous about the correct values of sex. In particular, most teens seem to be confused about premarital sex or pregnancy ideas.

Some of the teenage children misunderstand that sex is open, take no responsibility for sex, and have uncontrolled sex.

Rarely, this is happening in some adults as well.

Nowadays teenagers are learning and imitating the methods of sex problems experienced by leaders and other older generations such as world-renowned politicians such as US senators, US presidents, and state governors.

However most people say that it is best to solve premarital sexual desire with abstinence, but in fact, it is not easy to solve sexual desire only with abstinence.

In particular, in most advanced countries in the modern era, the basic essential conditions of human beings, such as shelters, food, clothing, and health, have been resolved, and teenage children exposed to a rich daily lifestyle, maintaining optimal health, and they are exposed to modern “sex culture” and then they are involved having sex with love. There are many teenagers who don’t think it’s strange and that it is the right life.

Moreover, it is easy to obtain, easy to use, and can be contracepted with various contraceptive methods and contraceptives that have excellent contraceptive effects, and after thinking that you will not be pregnant, teenagers will have unrestrained sex if they decide to do so. Accordingly, the teenage pregnancy rate continues to increase.

As children entering puberty grow and develop rapidly, the physique of teenage children becomes similar to or stronger than that of adults in just a few years.

However, there are still many similarities to those of young children in their mental and emotional aspects.

They are physically as big as adults, but in fact, they are still children grown.

Since teenage children’s self-determination is still as inexperienced as children, they often do not have responsibility for their sexual relations.

So sometimes they don’t even think about the fact that problems with childbirth and children having babies can arise for them.

The average age of menarche of US adolescent girls is 12.8 to 13.2 years old.

Some girls begin puberty at the early age of 8 years old and menarche at the age of 10 years old.

The menarche of most adolescent girls is at least 10 to 16 years old.

Puberty comes early and some of the physically precocious teenage children begin their sexual life early in puberty.

They still are mentally children and physically childhood.

Most of their sexual knowledge is inadequate and improper, and they don’t know what sexual values and their gender notions are immature.

They don’t know how to use perfect contraception.

Moreover, most of them grow up without being able to receive unconditional true love from their parents.

For one reason or another, teenage children inadvertently become pregnant.
