HOW CAN WE PREVENT FROM TEENAGE PREGNANCY?

INTRODUCTION

The Philippines teenage pregnancy rate has increased by 60% in the

year 2000- 2010, according to the Philippine National Statistics Office. This is very

alarming. Teenage pregnancy often occurs between the ages of 15-19 years old, often

in this age the girls are still studying.

Early pregnancy typically forces ladies to stop their schooling so they can

give birth or raise their child. Because it goes against the moral precepts of the school,

girls who fall pregnant are dismissed from school, especially in a Catholic institution like

Lourdes College, delaying their opportunity to earn a degree that will help them provide

for their kid. Education often takes a backseat until parents are able to leave their kids

at home and are financially secure. Nonetheless, there are females who simultaneously

study and care for their child; these women are known as student mothers. These girls'

burdens have increased because they also need to take care of their education as well

as their child at home.

There are two dimensions to teen pregnancies, both of which may coexist

in the same nation, developed or developing. High teen pregnancy rates may be caused

by premarital relations and unexpected pregnancy on the one hand, as well as by early

marriage and motherhood, which is a culturally accepted norm. Study suggests that

young people's sexual behavior patterns are changing, making early childbearing more

often a result of early sexual involvement. Urban areas seem to have this more
frequently than rural ones. In addition, a number of studies have noted a decline in the

age at menarche in both developed and developing nations.

In order to develop effective solutions, it is necessary to comprehend the

situation regarding teenage pregnancies in each country due to the elevated dangers of

early childbirth for both the mother and the child. Yet, getting trustworthy and accurate

data for analysis is not always simple, particularly in a developing nation. The Project

GABAY aims to give awareness and give knowledge about teenage pregnancy. The

Project GABAY was conducted to provide the young girls with enough knowledge about

early pregnancy.
