    BREAKING THE CHAINS

    EMPOWERING YOUTH
    AGAINST EARLY PREGNANCY

    GENERAL
    INFORMATION
    Teenage pregnancy can
    be defined as a pregnancy
    that occurs in young girls
    below the age of twenty,
    regardless of whether they
    are married or of adult age
    (Christensen and Rosen 1).
    01

    IMPLICATIONS
    Teenage pregnancy has
    been increasing at an
    alarming rate, especially
    in the Philippines. It has
    become a global concern
    because it affects not only
    the teenager and her 02
    family but society in
    general.

    CAUSES
    absence of affectionate
    03 supervision from the
    parents
    Peer pressure
    Sexual abuse and the
    use of drugs and
    alcohol
    Lack of sex education
    EFFECTS the curriculum

    Getting pregnant at an
    early age
    the mother and
    children are at risked of
    sexually transmitted
    disease
    Health problems
    Physical and
    psychological problems
    04
    CONCLUSION
    It can thus be concluded
    that teenage pregnancy is
    a problem for the entire
    society. Moreover, since it
    is largely caused by
    factors in society, it is the
    obligation of every
    member of society,
    including religious
    leaders, parents, teachers,
    and teenagers themselves,
    to participate in
    addressing the issue.
