To determine the effectiveness of a birth control method, the teen girl should determine their sexual activity and their current needs. The common birth control methods available include male condoms, female condoms, pills, patch, and intrauterine devices (Chung-Park, 2008)
Teenage pregnancy can be defined as pregnancy that occurs in young females aged under 20 years (Dickins, Johns, & Chipman, 2012)
Unsafe abortions are performed in dirty conditions, which mostly leads to complications or death of the teenager. Baby think it over This is an infant simulation that is used for providing teenagers with parental experience (Herrman, Waterhouse, & Chiquoine, 2011)
This is because if worn or used wrongly they are likely to burst, which could lead to fertilization. Teenagers should be taught on the proper usage of condoms to ensure they prevent teen pregnancy and other sexually transmitted diseases (Strunk, 2008)
An abortion is normally purposely induced, and it is advised that a teen girls seeks medical help as this procedure could be life threatening. Legal abortions are considered safe procedures since they are conducted in medical facilities and by professionals (Williams & Bonner, 2006)
The community needs to look at their values in order to help determine how to best tackle the problem of teen pregnancy. The Health Belief Model focuses on the idea that health behavior changes are not simply a matter of giving information, but about integrating that information with community values (Drayton et al
There are some aspects in the film that certainly do not mesh with the reality for most pregnant teens. For example, the character is very self-possessed and has the support of her family (Jayson, 2008)
Many areas have abstinence-only-based sex education, which is an absurd approach. Only a single abstinence-only education program has been able to provide credible evidence that it has led to a reduction of teenage pregnancy rates in any age group (Kirby, 2002)
This news could be both good and bad, depending on one's personal position on the abortion issue, but it has not led to a significant increase in adoptions. On the contrary, "there is an unmistakable and dramatic trend away from teenagers giving their children up for adoption" (Lachance, 2011)
There is some evidence that abstinence only education may delay initial age of sexual intercourse, but that evidence is interesting because it also shows an overall increase in teen pregnancy rates. In fact, "increasing emphasis on abstinence education is positively correlated with teenage pregnancy and birth rates" (Stanger-Hall & Hall, 2011)
The feminist historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg has written that "however prudish and 'uptight' the Victorians were, our ancestors had a deep commitment to girls." (Flanagan, 2008) Yet even in this article, no discussion is carried out on just how Juno, the film, was unable to portray such acts
" (McIntosh, 1990) Needless to say, according to some studies, "many Whites began to identify with the "new racism" epitomized by right-wing" talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and the movie, in a way evidences these preconceptions by stating very superficially that teen pregnancy not only transcends race, but also is a problem in White communities. (Giroux, 1997) Though this may be somewhat true, teen pregnancy is still a problem in many African-American communities, and this is important to examine, as well as the reason why this problem still exists to such an extent in this community
Such ideas come from the various social policies passed in the United States, such as Affirmative Action, which helped some races, and hurt others, yet some still say that it is White people who profit from this separation of races, no matter what the viewpoint. (Lipsitz, 1998) Such 'white ideas' or is what some individual espouse, yet many, again, believe that there is still a type of 'white privilege' and a way in which to overcome ideas of unfairness is to see all layers of society, no matter how tough or impermeable
That's totally unrealistic." (Lowen, 2012) In responding to how Juno portrays gender and sexuality Feldt also states, and rightly so, that "…an adolescent girl doesn't have a lot of power, but one of the ways that she can demonstrate her power is through her sexuality […] I've been astonished how many older teens and women in their twenties thought the film was wonderful
Furthermore, paradoxically, some sociologists claim that although this privilege exists, there is still a sort of 'new racism' that must be discussed, and state, "to redesign social systems we need first to acknowledge their colossal unseen dimensions." (McIntosh, 1990) Needless to say, according to some studies, "many Whites began to identify with the "new racism" epitomized by right-wing" talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and the movie, in a way evidences these preconceptions by stating very superficially that teen pregnancy not only transcends race, but also is a problem in White communities
There are many pertinent questions raised about these shows, including a question raised in Entertainment Weekly: "What will the babies think when they're old enough to see their early lives, and their young parents' every mistake, on tape?" The answer to that comes from one of the young teen moms, Maci Bookout, who doesn't want her son Bentley to watch it, because she fears he might be prejudiced against his father, Ryan. Why would Maci fear that? Because Ryan gave a "cold shoulder to parenting duties" during the first season of Teen Mom, and the reason Maci and Ryan broke up (Armstrong, 2010)
The study concluded that watching these reality TV shows has "…led to a 5.7% decrease in teen births," which apparently has accounted for "around one-third" of the decline in births by teenage girls since these TV shows were launched in 2009 (Gallant, 2014)
S., and even though that is a decline from 2010 (368,000 babies to teen mothers), that is a lot of new babies hoping for good parental stewardship from teenage girls (Kemp, 2013)
Teens and Reality Shows -- Pregnancy Issues Do some Reality TV shows try to make it cool to get pregnant? What has been the effect that various Reality TV shows have had on teenage girls -- when it comes to issues like pregnancy and motherhood? Are these shows really providing good information to teen girls -- as regards their lives and their sexual activities -- or do the shows simply "sugarcoat" challenges that pregnant teens face (Sun, 2011)
An essay in the book titled "16 and Pregnant, Masculinity, and Teen Fatherhood: Reconciling or Reinforcing Stereotypes?" was written by Jennifer Beggs Weber and Enid Schatz. The first main point in the essay is that the teen fathers are almost always portrayed in these Reality TV shows as "irresponsible, immature, and unwilling or unable to 'step up'" (Weber, et al
