Researcher: Many teen pregnancies result from dim views of life goals By Susan Lang "Many teenage pregnancies aren't accidental but intentional because of girls who see no life goals other than being a mother as realistically within their reach," says Andrea Parrot, a Cornell women's health and human sexuality expert. That's a major reason why most current sex and pregnancy prevention education efforts "are ineffective at preventing teenage pregnancy and the U.S. has an outrageous teen pregnancy rate the highest in the industrialized world," said Parrot, associate professor in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management in the College of Human Ecology. In the recent Cornell Cooperative Extension teleconference Women's Health Across the Generations, which was downlinked to 15 sites across New York state in February, Parrot advocated wider use of long-term, multidimensional, community-based programs that have proven successful because they offer hope for a brighter future and the means to achieve life goals other than motherhood. "Such programs are undoubtedly expensive. However, providing the program for a girl for several years will cost less than the social welfare, medical and lost income costs for a teen mother in the first year she has the baby," Parrot pointed out.

Back when I was an middle school it was a part of physical education class. We have to realize that not all kids are taught the birds and the bees at home, or rather given proper information. Lets face it, the reality is we have girls and boys as young as 11 who are sexually active whether we chose to believe it or not.

The UK annual total for teenage pregnancies now stands at about 93,000, according to the British Medical Association. This is the highest level of teenage pregnancy in Europe - twice that of Germany and four times that of France. The UK government's social exclusion unit, which has reported on the problem, has been scrutinising plans in the Netherlands and the United States for inspiration on how to tackle the issue which costs tax payers as much as £10bn each year. The following is an outline of challenges and solutions in the two countries the government is looking to most, and what the UK might learn. The Netherlands The Netherlands has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in Europe. Social attitudes to teenage sex and pregnancy are very different to those in the UK.

Videos WASHINGTON DeVanna First never imagined becoming a mother at age 17. After a doctor's visit, First found out she wouldn't be taking care of one baby but two. Another trip to the doctor brought another surprise - First was having triplets. "I started crying and I was in shock," First said. "I was scared, really, really scared. It was enough to deal with that I was pregnant and thinking of taking care of one baby, then they told me twins, then triplets and I said, 'Are you crazy?' My grandmother told them to stop looking." Like with First, the vast majority of teen pregnancies - 85 percent - are unplanned. For many young mothers, the lack of sexual education plays a role. The National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy is an annual event whose goal is to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy in the U.S. which has the highest rate of all developed country. Nearly every hour 100 teen girls get pregnant, and about 55 of those young women choose to have the child. This year's day, May 3, will feature a quiz, written by young people, which asks teenagers questions about risky scenarios to prepare them for real-life challenges.

69. Teenage Pregnancy And Childbearing In Hawai`i : Center On The Family Center on the Family s mission is to enhance interdisciplinary research, service, and education that supports and strengthens families. http://uhfamily.hawaii.edu/publications/brochures/teen_pregnancy.htm

Teenage Pregnancy and Childbearing In Hawai`i Adolescent pregnancy and childbearing are matters of substantial national concern. Research has shown valid reasons for concern: Families formed by a first birth to a couple who are unmarried or to a mother who is under 20 or has not completed high school have been found to be at greatest risk of poverty and instability. Children born to teenage moms have been found to be more likely to have health and developmental problems, to fail in school and to become delinquent. Young women who become pregnant before age 18 have been found to be at higher risk of school failure, delinquency and poverty that restricts their opportunities in life. Causal patterns are difficult to find: poor teen women and those with educational deficits are more likely to initiate sexual activity at earlier ages. Nevertheless, sustained poverty, frustration and hopelessness are all too often the long-term outcomes. National Trends: Young men and women are increasingly delaying marriage. Teenagers are becoming sexually experienced at younger ages.

This is an obvious issue of concern, not only to the teens, but also to their families, communities, and society as a whole. Teen pregnancy is closely linked to a number of other critical issues, including overall child and family well-being. Simply put, if more children were born to parents who are ready and able to care for them, we would see a significant reduction in a host of social problems, from school failure and poverty to child abuse and neglect. Therefore, the goal of teenage pregnancy prevention is not only to prevent unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, but also to help adolescents grow up healthy, educated, employable, and connected to their families and communities.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Project Current research supports the two pronged approach of the Napa County Office of Education's program to reduce teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, and equip teens with tools they need to make responsible decisions that will affect their future. The first prong is that teens need to have current, accurate information about sexual health issues. The curriculum for 7th graders is an abstinence-only program called Postponing Sexual Involvement. It is a 5-plus hour interactive curriculum designed to give students information and tools to think about, discuss and practice helpful techniques to resist societal, media and peer pressures to become sexually active. The material addresses issues of self-awareness and the importance of building self-esteem to become more confident in making healthy decisions. The second prong of the approach is to support non-sexually related efforts by supporting community agencies that help reduce risk taking by supporting the individual in ways that improve educational and career opportunities through youth development programs such as New Beginnings, Aldea and CyberMill Computer Clubhouse.

Giving to UC Davis Health System Care designed for pregnant teens Studies have shown that babies born to teen mothers who participate in group visits are less likely to deliver low-birth-weight babies. The impending birth of a new baby is usually cause for joy and fulfillment, but the prospect may also bring confusion and fear for teenage mothers-to-be who are not far removed from their own childhood years. They may be unaware of the changes their body will undergo and lack an adequate social network to help them through pregnancy and beyond. To help these young mothers, the Department of Family and Community Medicine operates the Teen Pregnancy Support Program. A key feature of the program is group medical appointments, which allows a patient to go through her pregnancy with other young women whose babies are due at about the same time.
