Teen Pregnancy

Two major problems affecting children are teen pregnancy and gangs. One in every eight births in the United States is a result of teen pregnancy, and over one million teens are from the ages of fifteen to nineteen. As for gangs, many children turn to them because of poverty, and once children get involved in them they tend to drop out of school. Some ways to solve teen pregnancy is being smart and using contraceptives, …

…in the United are raised to unmarried mothers, and over half of the children will spend their life with only one parent. One other thing that you can do if you get pregnant and can’t handle having a baby is getting an abortion, but many teens abuse the privilege and use it as a form of birth control. There will always be the conflict between people who are for pro-life and pro-choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
