Abstract
This paper examines the problem of high school drop outs, explaining that income instability and increasing rates in teen pregnancy are two of its many underlying causes. This paper explains that teenagers with babies often are not able to keep up with their school work because they have to be up during the night caring for their babies. Consequently, teenage pregnancies lead to high school drop outs, which then leave the teenager living in poverty without the skills and ability to obtain and keep employment.
From the Paper
"Nancy is a young girl who became pregnant at age sixteen. She tried attending school, working a part-time job, and taking care of her baby. However, she was up a lot at night with her baby and eventually she realized she could not continue to go to school. She lives on welfare and spends most of her time watching television. Nancy and her baby live in poverty. Nancy is one of many American teenage females who become pregnant. "The United States has the highest rate of teen pregnancy and births in the western industrialized world" (General Facts). Nancy is one of many high school girls who drop out of high school to care for their babies. "Teen mothers are less likely to complete high school (only one-third receive a high school diploma) and only 1.5% have a college degree by age 30" (General Facts)."

Abstract
This paper discusses several teenage issues. The paper examines substance abuse, teenage pregnancies, teenage suicide, teenage sexual abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and anger management. The paper elaborates on each of these issues, offering suggestions for methods of assisting teenagers overcome these problems.
From the Paper
"Substance abuse is a serious legal and social problem in American culture that has plagued our society with skyrocketing crime rates and overflowing prison systems. The substances in question include any mind-altering chemicals, including common illegal street drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and designer drugs, just to name a few. Also included are misused legal substances, such as household chemicals or over-the-counter and prescription drugs that are misused for the purpose of achieving mind-altering effects. Of course, alcohol is also included, which is by far and large the most commonly used substance of abuse, excluding perhaps tobacco which is rarely recognized properly as the drug that it is. The inappropriate use of these substances can easily spiral out of control for anyone who gets involved with them, taking control of their lives. When teenagers fall into the habits of substance abuse, the negative and lasting effects can be particularly harmful because of the fragile state of the body and mind during this developmental period."

Abstract
"Teenage Wasteland" is a book that cleverly combines pure participant research and personal experience. The book delves into the unexplained suicides that occur in a small suburban town of Bergenfield, New Jersey. The paper summarizes the main points of the book and then presents the theories used by Donna Gaines to understand why the suicides occurred.
From the Paper
"In order to understand what really happened and why, Gaines travels to Bergenfield in order to attempt assimilation into the culture of those who were friends or peers of the four suicide victims. The adaptation into the lives of these kids does not present itself as a simple task. These kids aren?t jocks, brains, preps, or anything in between, by any means. They are the outsiders. They represent the outcasts or the ?burnouts? that could only relate to one another. They share the same taste in music, similar views on life, and comparable family structures. But, what else is so intimately shared that makes four teenagers want to die together? That is one of Gaines? curiosities. She asks herself ?What could be so intimately binding that in the early morning hours of March 11 not one of them could stop, step back from the pact they had made to say, ?Wait, I can?t do this??? (Gaines, 1991, p. 9) "

Abstract
This paper explains that teenage children of alcoholics are more likely than regular teenagers in the same population to suffer a variety of physical, mental and emotional health problems.

Family roles are continually changing in reaction to the alcoholic situation in order to maintain the sense of balance necessary for survival. The home environment of alcoholic families is one of much conflict, divorce, unemployment, and poverty. There is also abuse and neglect associated with alcoholic families, as well as violent acts among siblings."

Teenage Pregnancy, 2004.
A discussion of teenage pregnancy as a deviant behavior.
2,464 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper covers the definition of deviance and explains why teenage pregnancy is considered a deviant behavior, as well as the consequences of such labeling. It shows how, today, most Americans believe teenage pregnancy is deviant or goes against societal norms and describes how this norm is changing. It also discusses the way that Americans view teenage sexuality differs considerably from other countries, such as France, Germany, and Holland, and how in these three countries, early sexuality is much more acceptable. Finally, it provides some suggestions of what can be done to improve the teenage pregnancy situation.
From the Paper
"Sociologists Earl Rubington and Martin S. Weinberg note that the definition of deviance differs as much as what can be deviant and approach the topic in an alternate way. They see two main schools of thought: deviance as objective reality and deviance as subjective experience. Those who adhere to the objective approach stress the importance of norms and values of any given society at the structural level, with any differentiation from these considered deviant. This perspective is based on three assumptions: 1) there is consensus throughout society concerning norms and values and thus deviance is easily recognized; 2) deviance generally evokes negative sanctions against and attitudes toward the deviants and their actions; and 3) the punishment of the deviant reaffirms for the group that they are bound by common norms and values."

From the Paper
"The American Cancer Society suggests that parents have the ability to influence youth not to start smoking. Teens who thought their parents would disapprove of them smoking were found to be less than half as likely to smoke as those teenagers that thought their parents didn't care, whether or not the parents themselves were smokers. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites parents as the greatest influence in children's lives, and encourages parents to actively tell their children about family deaths related to smoking, explain the health consequences from tobacco use, and warn them about the negative effects smoking has on physical appearance. Additionally, parents that smoke can avoid using tobacco in front of their children, not offer tobacco to their children, keep tobacco products out of easy reach, and most importantly try to quit."
