Cupang National Highschool about most influential on birth rates or rapid increase of pregnant

youths to reduce teen pregnancy.

I. Introduction/Background of the Study

Background of your Study
Teenage pregnancy was defined as having at least one pregnancy between the ages of 14 and
19 (inclusive). It had been a worldwide issue, and the total number of this phenomenon is increasing
each year. Teenagers are prone to pregnancy. Almost every year there is a rapid increase on the
number of pregnant youths. One of the major causes of this problem is that most of the youths
nowadays grew up in broken homes. In a study conducted by the National Demographic and Health
Survey in 2013, one out of every young Filipino women age 15 to 19 is already a mother or pregnant
with a first child. Therefore, the government in partnership with the different non-government
agencies should exert efforts in resolving this issue. Teenage Pregnancies are often associated with
social development issues such as lack of sufficient education and poverty. This often results to
single parenthood which catalyzes conditions that renders the mothers to become irresponsible.
Hence, it conveys a social stigma in various countries and cultures.

know the insight or knowledge on the influence of some variables on changes in issue about teenage
pregnancy.

The researcher seeks to find the following:

1. What is the most and least influential about teenage pregnancy in percentage?
III. Objectives of the Study
Objectives of the Study
Due to rapid increase on the number of pregnant youths, the objective of the study is (In
percentage)
Significance of the Study
This research can give us more knowledge about effective and less focused ways to lessen the
teenage pregnancy and to determine the percentage based on participants knowledge or insight
about influence of variables on rapid increase of pregnant youths.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The research focuses on participants in Cupang National Highschool to know the percentage of most
and least influential on rapid increase of pregnant youths to lessen the teenage pregnancy.
V. Design and Method

My
Research Design Descriptive Research Design
Because of the issues about the rapid
increase on the number of pregnant
youths, the objective of the study is to
know the best effective ways to reduce
teen pregnancy and what we can do to
help with this issue by providing systematic
information about that phenomenon. In
this research design, the researcher does
not usually begin with a hypothesis, but is
likely to develop one after collecting data.

VII. Implications and Conclusions

Sources of error and methodological difficulties.

By determining the knowledge or insight of participants we can find a way to lessen the rapid
increase of early pregnancy. According to reports, about 500
Filipino teenagers become mothers every day. That's about 182,500 teenage mothers every year.
The age of consent in this deeply conservative Catholic country is just 12, one of the lowest in the
world, but access to contraception is limited, and abortion is illegal.

Based on graphical result, it shows that Students in Cupang National Highschool aged 12 to 16 with
complete knowledge of HIV have the highest percentage among students who emphasize the value
of education and knowledge about difficulties in being a young parent.

Based on the graphical result, the researcher arrived to these following conclusions:
1. The knowledge of students aged 12 to 16 says that HIV is the most influential in changing birth
rates or issues in teenage pregnancy.
