Teen pregnancy is an ongoing problem in America as well as other parts of the world. Others may not find this epidemic problematic as it burdens the lives of young people and the parents/grandparents that care for them. It’s no secret, the youth, today are out of control. High/middle schools are witnessing record-breaking drop-outs of students across the country. The behavior is overwhelming and the lack of respect for adults is absurd. What happened last generation that is driving our society into an environment of “I don’t cares?”
Should this blame be placed upon young parents, grandparents raising misbehaved children, absentee parents (mother or father or both), or artificial stimulants (drugs)? An answer to this difficult question may not exist within a single thought; however, we can extrapolate a few factors to remedy this notion.
Television is completely uncensored. There are plenty of TV shows, commercials, Movies and Games that exploit women sexually for all eyes to see. Our children see this sexuality and may become curious or may lose respect for the gender all together or the nationality that is being exploited. Music come in all forms, but calling a woman the B word and allowing for its use national television and radio speaks volumes of inappropriateness.
There are many parent who are afraid of losing their child, as a result some children are being reward without achievement. Students who do poorly in school should have their luxuries revolt, right? There have been witnesses to children receiving expensive shoes, video games, clothes and jewelry even that particular student is failing. We have to stop being friends to our children and become their parent.
In conclusion to this blog, which most of you may disagree, I believe adults who wish to have a child should be required by federal law to obtain a license and become certified in that state to have children. The certification should be outlined where couples must be married and above twenty two years of age and have at least a high school diploma (this would solve a lot of problems). Although this certification is not difficult to acquire, it is also easy to violate as well. The plenty should be a hefty fine (1500) and the parents of the violators must pay an additional fine.
This is a touchy situation.parenting starts with the previous generation before them.i feel parenting techniques are passed down
ReplyDeletePersonally, i think that most children who get pregnant at an early age either their parents are too strict or they dont pay attention to everything their children. The strict parents try n hide their kids from the real world instead of introducing them to whats to come ahead. The lean parents are sometimes too lean. They let their kids do what they want n when they want. TV and the radio does play a part in it too because most things on TV and the radio promote sex, disrespect towards women, drugs and violence. There arent enough positive things to watch and listen too. Plus kids think their boring. I dont have a problem with young pregnancy, my problem is the kids who dont know how to handle the situations and arent ready for it. Some do it by "accident," which is obsered cuz everyone knows what the consequences are to havin sex without a condum. Some girls think they shortie love them n is gonna stay by them n as soon as a baby pop up, they quicc to dip or say abortion. I think that if parents talk to their children n get involved in their lives, less young pregnancies would accur.
ReplyDeleteIt's a problem that's spreading like wildfire. It saddens my heart what children are becoming I worry about my children influences I pray all day and everyday that we as a people wake up.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your statement. I'm not sure how much of these explicit views is spreading. All I know is that sooner or later all of this will come to an end, slowly. Even though there will be some more of this inappropriate viewing,in the future there will be vast amounts of it banned. I believe that the goverment will plan to ban most of the shows or other types of viewing such as pornography on the computer, etc. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteTeen pregnancy is definitely still a problem. It will have to be addressed better by parents and schools in order to reduce the number of children who have been dropping out of school. If birth control is being ignored, then maybe abstinence should be taught. It would be great if people could wait until a certain age to have children or sexual relations, but that is not the reality. Enacting laws or fines for violators or their parents is an interesting idea, but I think that teens would still behave the same way.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with your blog , I think that if teen parent would have settle down and have a career thinks would be so reckless , I don’t only thing is the parents fault but the system in our country doesn’t give a lot of information on how to prevent pregnancy. I just To work for the HRA in the no kidding straight talk program , which is a program that we go to high school student providing information on how and where to go to prevent pregnancy and to have safe sex and a 85 % of the class witch it was most 30 student didn’t know that much of information. I’m a teen parent I have 2 kids I had my first when I was 15 year old and honestly if I would have a program like that I would have prevent getting pregnant so young cause is a triple job …don’t get me wrong I love my kids they the reason I do what I do but I would love to just waited become an FBI first and then have my kids and give them what they deserve witch I’m doing now but is triple hard then what is was going to be if I had a piece of information on how the struggle was going to be ….but now I just look forward to giving my kids everything they need..
ReplyDeleteParenting the Parent....
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your opinion about, how people need a certificate before becoming a parent. I truly believe there's many parents out there that’ s needs some classes on how to become and stay a parent. But we have to ask ourselves, do we really know how that person that was raised before we judge. Sometimes bad parenting could be going on for generations in some families, so in their minds it’s ok on how they raising their children. A child only knows what they taught, or what they see, and even what goes on around them such as where they live, who they live with, and hang out with. Also I don’t agree on rewarding a child if they not behaving, listening, doing bad in school, being so disrespectful. Parents sometimes do it just out of laziness, here me out. When a child is in a mall and cries because he or she see a toy that they want, and the parent says no and throw themselves on the floor, what are you suppose to do? The first thing that comes to mind is, seriously is to whip that child but some parents just so they don’t have to deal with the crying, they will cave in and buy for them, even though they just said no. I serious don’t get that
