understanding of abstinence,
 Teenage mothers
contraceptive techniques, and regretting after getting
consequences. Although there are pregnant
many different ways to prevent a
teenage girl from becoming
pregnant, the only one that is
absolutely effective is sexual
abstinence.

And due to strong religious beliefs


about the mothership in our
society the culture often influences
teenager parenting before the right
age. Some cultural beliefs of our
country state that the mothership
at a low age mostly enhances the
feminine character of a girl in our
society which leads to the teenage
parenting

It is BOTH partners' responsibility


to ensure that you have safer sex,
and use contraception to prevent
both unplanned pregnancy and
sexually transmitted infections
(STIs). There is a perception that it
is the girl's responsibility to think
about contraception and safer sex

Thinking about sex education


conjures up all of those
uncomfortable moments as an
adolescent when we had to sit at
our desks and listen to our health
teachers talk about things that we
joked about with friends but never
wanted to have a conversation
about with adults. But things have
changed a lot since then.

psychological, social and spiritual
challenges

Only a handful of girls said they


regretted getting pregnant. The
vast majority said their lives had
improved after having children,
that having a baby had "corrected"
their deprived childhoods and
turned them away from destructive
behaviour such as drink and drug

While most birth control methods


require the girl to take action, boys
should take responsibility, too.
They should wear a condom
during sex to prevent pregnancy
and the spread of STDs. Condoms
are the only protection against
STDs. Find out which type of birth
control is right for your teen

Respondent #5 Yes
 Lack of knowledge
Yes definitely!  Counseling Youth
 Reflecting their mothers
I can suggest that our government situation they're in
should focus on this matter by
simply training people in
counseling volunteers, in that way
I can maybe I can offfer may self
as a volunteer in counseling the
youth.

Teenage pregnancy can be


prevented if our teens never lack
of knowledge about sex that is why
I highly recommend that Sex
Education must be implemented in
our country.

I think the cultural factor that


contributes to the spread of
teenage pregnancy is the "di
nalang ko mutiwas skwela uy,

ginikanan" mindset. It is where
some teens who have parents that
didnt finish their studies or dont
have degress are entitled to not
finish their studies also because
they think its okay thats why they
opted to live together with their
partners.

Strongly yes!

I strongly agree, it should be


taught in home since it is where
learning starts.

Base on my observation since I


have friends who were engaged on
this matter, their struggles are they
didnt enjoy their teenage years
because they already have a
responsibility to look after and its
hard for them to raise their child
because they dont have degree
that most employer requires in
applying for a job.

Engaged in activities that caught


their attention and interest and

teach men to be responsible about


sex and pregnancy

YES, sex education - including


information about contraception
and condoms - is a basic human
right of youth. Such education
helps young people to reduce their
risk of potentially negative
outcomes, such as unwanted
pregnancies and sexually
transmitted infections (STIs). Such
education can also help youth to
enhance the quality of their
relationships and to develop
decision-making skills that will
prove invaluable over life. This
basic human right is also a core
public health principle that
receives strong endorsement from
mainstream medical associations,
public health and educational
organizations, and - most
important - parents."

psychological, social and spiritual
challenges: A constant need for

teenage mothers are more likely to


experience significant levels of
stress that can increase risk for
mental health disorders. But some
factors can reduce the likelihood

psychiatric issues. If a teen mom
has a supportive relationship with
her mother and/or the baby’s
father, her risks are reduced.

on mothers, children, families and

barriers that often prevent teen
mothers from seeking mental

become pregnant, and even

pregnant, but may still feel highly
regretful about having a child.

introduced to restrict teens' access
to reproductive health care by

Sexuality plays a very significant


role in the lives of both boys and
girls. It is, therefore, considered
important for schools to recognise
and accept sexuality as part of the
development process of the child.
Professor Kader Asmal (previous
South African Minister of
Education) suggested that the
earlier the school begins to teach
learners about sexuality, the better
because they can be easily misled
by their peers if proper guidance
regarding their sexuality is not
given.
