The Problem

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to identify the causes and effects of early teenage pregnancy

among teenagers. Moreover, the researchers are going to determine the struggles

faced by the teenager and her coping mechanisms for being a parent at a young age.

Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following questions:

1.What are the reasons for a teenager’s early pregnancy?

2.How did the teenager’s family treat her when they knew about the situation?

3.What effects have been experienced by the teenager for being a parent at an

early age?

4.What were some of the challenges faced by the teenager for being a parent at

a young age?

5.How did the teenager cope with the difficulties of raising a child at a young

age?

Note: for the purpose of consistency, the use of “her” in the second sentence of the

general problem statement should be changed. Isn’t question 2 going to be under

question 3?

Scope and Limitations

The researchers intend to use a semi-structured interview where the researchers

could ask some questions that would be answered by the participant. After the

researcher’s (Why is there an apostrophe here?) got the answer from the questions(Do

you get an answer FROM the questions?), the researchers will now then analyze the
answers that were given by the participants. This study limits the age of the participants

from ages 16 to 19 years. The researchers will also make use of the personal

experiences which includes how their family treated them and effects that relate to the

causes and effects of the teenager’s early pregnancy

Note: There are still missing points in this section. Also, learn to observe coherence

when you create your paragraph. Do not make the ideas jump from one to another

when you have sentences placed in the same paragraph.

Significance of the Study

The result of the study will then be beneficial to the following persons:

Teenagers. They would gain awareness in preventing the (remove the article)

early pregnancy. So that they would prevent those things from happening within

themselves(A dependent clause cannot stand as a sentence.).

Parents/Guardian(Should you not make both agree in number?). They could

gain insight about their situation and be aware of their responsibilities as a parent(This

does not agree with the number.). By that, the parents or guardians would be taking

some actions that would make them teach or give their children a lesson to avoid being

pregnant in (this is not the right preposition) an early age.

Future Researchers. They could use this study as a future reference, should

they decide to make a similar understanding.(The comma is wrongly used and the last

word of this sentence is surely not the right one.)
