Well hello hope the reader is doing swell. However, we are
working on a 12 page research paper and I chose teen pregnancy in Memphis, TN. I
chose this topic after the teen pregnancy epidemic that occurred at frayser
high school came about my conscientious. The incident involved 90 teenage girls
pregnant with child. Now this was not a pact that the girls made it just
happened to be. Also Memphis TN was stated as having double the average of Prego’s
in the nation. Many may not think this is a major problem but little do they
know. We spend billions of dollars YEARLY to maintain teen mothers, since the
majority of teen moms drop out of school and can’t afford day care or a
babysitter. Therefore, they cannot obtain a steady job to bring in decent
income. If the teen moms lack education the chances their offspring will too
are high. however, there is much debate on what the causes are that lead to teen mothers. some say it is lack of sexual education, while others point the fingers at the parents. most parents do not talk to their children about the birds and bees because they assume if the children ask then they are engaging in sexual activities. the other side says there should be classes on sex education offered in public schooling. therefore, it does not matter which method is best but that we at least TRY somewhere and something.
