Summary
From the Paper:
"Adolescent pregnancies and resulting births are complex problems not only for the mother and child, but for society as a whole. The factors that place adolescents at risk for pregnancy and parenthood are varied. These factors include the sexual behavior of adolescents, the role of self esteem, attitudes toward school, educational expectations of parent and teachers and the adolescents themselves, and access to health care. The inherent problems related to adolescent pregnancies involve personal, physical, interpersonal, social, religious, ethical, and economic issues. The pregnant adolescent is placed at physical, psychological, social, and educational risks. The outcomes of such risks typically are come combination of poor parenting skills and a lifetime in a lower socioeconomic status (Frost & Forrest, 1995)."Cite this Analytical Essay:
