About teen pregnancies and how to prevent them
Have you ever wondered why more and more young people become parents? We tell you the reality behind these unwanted pregnancies, and how to reduce the number of cases.
There are young people who stay up until the wee hours of the morning to finish the assignments that they will deliver the next day. Others chat on the phone with their friends, and other adolescents cannot fall asleep because they can not decide how to tell their parents that they are expecting a child.
All the women who have been pregnant know the complications of the nine months of gestation. Both physically and emotionally, this stage of life is especially stressful because it is fraught with uncertainty and fear. Imagine that same concern, but in the hands of a fifteen-year-old girl who still attends her high school classes, who depends on her parents and who, when she was beginning to have dreams for the future, had to return to harsh reality.
IN LATE ADOLESCENCE THEY ADOPT THEIR OWN VALUES
It is easy to understand that if a 14-year-old becomes pregnant , she is not going to skip the stage of adolescence she is living in order to have the maturity of someone who belongs to the late adolescence.
Young women who do not yet know themselves, who do not yet know what they want for their future, have to worry about a new member of the family.

DIFFICULTIES ALSO FOR THE FATHER
Pregnancies during adolescence are not only difficult to carry due to the young age of the mother, but also that of the father, for whom life also takes a 360 degree turn. The parents of adolescents, as indicated by Dr. Juan R. Issler, usually help but it is inevitable, in a high percentage of cases, that the young couple have to abandon their studies to dedicate themselves exclusively to raising the family, without sufficient educational training or work experience and with unstable and often poorly paid jobs.
THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF SAFE SEX
Since a teenage girl is dependent on her family, her fears are coupled with guilt. They feel uncertain about how their relatives will react, which is why pregnant adolescents often resort to abortion, and also to adoption.
WHY DO TEENAGE GIRLS GET PREGNANT?
One of the reasons for this recurring problem in every corner of society is that young people do not receive enough information to become aware of the importance of contraceptive methods and responsible sexual relations. Nowadays it is common for schools to teach classes to educate adolescents to be responsible, and to know the real dangers instead of hiding behind an illusion of invulnerability.
Of course, all the responsibility cannot fall on the teachers. Parents should inform their children through open communication and showing interest in knowing their doubts and wanting to solve them all to the extent that they are able . This conversation should begin when adolescence begins, and should be based on the dangers of STDs and unwanted pregnancies, to emphasize the importance of using contraception every time, every time, and thus preventing these dangers that are , and they must understand it that clearly, a reality that does not understand exceptions.
