    SUMMARY:

    Teenage pregnancy is a worldwide health problem that harms birth outcomes


    and can cause poverty and poor health to pass down through generations. In all
    contexts, populations experiencing social and economic deprivation have a higher
    chance of having adolescent pregnancies. Increased exposure to domestic violence
    (which may be made worse by the pregnancy), mental health conditions, substance
    abuse, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), financial hardship, and homelessness are
    just a few social and health effects of young pregnancies.

    Teenage pregnancy is significant because it can impede a person's education


    and training, with varying chances for restart. Teenagers in Australia who become
    pregnant are more likely than those who do not to be from a low socioeconomic
    background, to have lived in unstable housing, and to be reliant on social support.

    Preventing teen pregnancy necessitates extensive initiatives involving the


    community, health services, and schools. In particular, a combination of contraceptive
    interventions and sexuality education is beneficial in lowering teen not planned
    pregnancies. 90% of Australians reported using contraception during their first sexual
    encounter, with condoms being the most popular option among young people. The oral
    contraceptive pill was used, which they frequently started for reasons other than
    contraception.

    For some young women, pregnancy in adolescence can have a transformative


    impact on changing unhealthy behaviors and relationships. However, for many, teenage
    pregnancy is accompanied by adverse perinatal outcomes and long-term social and
    educational consequences.

    REACTION:

    Teenage pregnancy is indeed a global issue and also it is very alarming because
    despite the status of a country there is still a rising cases of it. I think the arising cases
    of teenage pregnancy is cause by lack of knowledge in sex education. I also realize that
    sex education is important specially on teens that is on their adolescent stage. If we are
    able to educate them then somehow the cases might drop because of sex education,
    we could make them knowledgeable and most importantly the uses of contraceptive
    and condoms. To add up about the realization on teenage pregnancy is that the family
    affair could also be a factor.

    The positive impact of the article is that it was able to tackle the reasons and
    also, what are the possible growth of factors that can affect teenage pregnancy. Its
    negative impact is that it lacks about how could the family help the teenager who’s
    experiencing this.

    As a student nurse the implication of the article is that education is really


    important to prevent teenage pregnancy because through it the teens are not now
    knowledge deficit about the said issue. Also, we could do such activity for example a
    symposium that tackles the said problem and how can they pass through it.
