Teen Pregnancy
Author: Ann Brown
Why is it so common today on teen pregnancy? There are many assumptions that we can suggest, but it seems that a complex network of factors produced this, with all that implies for individuals, families and society.
If we look at it from a preventive medical point of view we can say that early initiation of intercourse and not using contraception, is an important factor. If we look, instead, from the mobilization that exist in family groups now, we would say that family breakdown, poor communication with parents, lack of education on the ability to measure risk, are other variables involved. The reality is that these adolescents become mothers before they secure their own lives, even without physical or emotional maturity. This implies, for the baby, a network of support is often not adequate.
However, there are other factors that play into this. At least in Argentina of the millennium there is a crisis of values, a very high anxiety. And pregnancy is always a gamble to life and the future. Although built with pregnancy transgression also builds a strong bond. We should not forget that teens look to their mothers and learn that the gaps can be filled with emotional relationship with the other. And this one is an assurance of affection and companionship. Someone who occupy them.
All this indicates that it is very important to address teenage pregnancy, by which means both to society of the future and each in itself.
Many times, girls are without a partner in your pregnancy. And often they are alone, unaccompanied by family affection they need. There are no longer have to daughters and become mothers. That’s why teen pregnancy is everybody, and everybody can do a lot.
These girls can make a preparation for motherhood, through inclusion in peer groups where they do body work that allows them to go through pregnancy and for better delivery. Where they can also be informed through lectures, courses, etc.. groups reflect on this process where they will live normal like the changes in the body, fears, family ties and friends, upbringing, etc..
The family of the teenager can be oriented so that it can support the teenager so he could take care of the child, not this baby becomes a brother-son. We call this “pact of escape”: The teen does not want to be a mother and gives his son his mother, who in turn did not want to be a grandmother. And professionals can help pregnant mothers develop their potential, establish ourselves as a person and as a woman, confident in its approach.
