new lesson (ENGAGE)
Lack of sex education, peer pressure, and early sexual engagement
are just three of the many causes of teenage pregnancy. In the Philippines,
teenage pregnancy has become a social problem.
Peer pressure and lack of education result in early sexual engagement
that leads to early pregnancy. With very little knowledge about sex and
pregnancy, many adolescent girls find themselves in a dilemma about the
situation oftentimes without the knowledge of their parents. These
teenagers, however, do not know that such pregnancy can be a huge health
risk.
Teenage pregnancy is associated with high risk of health problems to
the mother and the baby. Infections from sexually transmitted disease,
premature birth, abortion, postpartum depression are just four of the many
health problems. Therefore, teenage pregnancy is not just a social issue, but
it is also a health issue.
