THE PROBLEM Teenage pregnancy is the condition of being pregnant of
AND ITS adolescence aged 10 to 19. Those who are affected are the girl herself up
BACKGROUND to the national society. The victims of teenage pregnancy are the girl
herself, her child, her parents and relatives and the national society. It
will also probably make her economically vulnerable.
Teen pregnancy is a common problem, a family problem, and a
personal problem all rolled into one. It frequently goes hand in hand with
premarital sex. Problems come when the news needs to breach each
parent’s party.
After which, these impressions simply serve no purpose but to put
them off, and deduce to mere nuisance to them when the truth of their
situation slowly sinks in. How do they provide for the child if their
parents cut them short financially? Will they be able to go to grad
school? What will become of their future? What will become of their
child’s future? By this time, they would have to contend with the
pressures of parenthood. What’ll truly bother them in the long run is the
reality of whether they can fulfill their obligation as parents, and the
security of their child’s future. Teenage pregnancy is becoming a societal
problem that branches out to other problems.
Teenagers from poor backgrounds are excessively represented
among pregnant teenagers. However, experts have argued that teenage
pregnancy should be understood as a symptom of dire economic
conditions rather than a cause of it. Teenage pregnancy spreads the
cycle of poverty and inequality because most pregnant teenagers have
no source of income and face greater financial difficulties later in life.
 This is because they drop out of school and are less likely to pursue
further education or skills training.
Teenage mothers face critical health risks, including inadequate
nutrition during pregnancy due to poor eating habits; dangers associated
with the reproductive organs not ready for birth; and maternal death
due to higher risk of eclampsia, among others.
Alarmingly, while maternal deaths are decreasing in the
Philippines, teenage maternal deaths are increasing. Ten percent of
pregnant teenagers died in the last year, according to the PSA. Data from
the WHO also show a high and increasing incidence of fetal death in
Filipino mothers under 20.
In the face of numerous challenges that Filipino adolescents face
every day—discrimination, gender-based violence, harmful gender
stereotypes—they must be equipped with the life skills and assets to
help them make the best decisions for themselves and their community.
When adolescents choose to have sex, they have a right to access not
just information but also inclusive ASRH services.
At the end of the day, when an adolescent, especially a girl,
knows her rights, is empowered to choose, and is heard, she can improve
not only her life but also the life of her immediate and future families.

THE PROPOSESD The solution to teenage pregnancy is a multifaceted approach that

THE REASONS Common reasons behind teens getting pregnant Curiosity of kids.
The explosion of sex in the media has made teenagers more aware about
in that their parents or grandparents were. But teenagers learn a lot
about sex through commercials on TV, movies, internet, conversations in
public and gossip with their friends. This naturally incites premature sex
drive, making them pregnant in teenage. Peer pressure where teenagers
love to prove themselves to be the style icons as presented to them
through the movies and TV. Inability to control sexual urges, where
teenage boys are always on the lookout for girls that would oblige them
as they know they have very little to lose by having sex. And Lack of Sex
Education, with abstinence the only kind of sex education, teenagers are
likely to fall prey to the practice of unsafe sex.
