Why Teen Parenting should be delayed?
Raising a child isn't an easy thing to do. Raising a child while the parents are still in their teens is even harder. Dealing with the day to day chores that involves a baby and trying to work and get an education is very stressful on any teen.
Teen Parenting should be delayed because it is very difficult to handle, some can’t handle it. One of my friends is a teen mom, and she wouldn't wish a teen pregnancy on any teen. Trying to work, go to school, raise a baby and still having some growing up to do is nowhere near easy. Dealing with a checkbook, a husband, a newborn, a job and finishing school at sixteen was hard. But she managed, just like many other teen moms but she do wish things could have been easier so she could have enjoyed my first born even more, without all the added stress.
A teen mom faces more than just the bills and the baby. A teen mom often deals with becoming stereotypical in the eyes of those around her, strangers, friends and all. Many people don't wish to acknowledge the fact that it only takes once to get pregnant, which may very well be the case for the girl in question. Yet many people will look at her as lowly, assuming she got pregnant on purpose and slept around often. Her parenting skills are doubted, even if she follows the most popular of the parenting experts.
Closer to home, teen moms have to deal with relationship problems that may not be such a problem for a mom to be who has been in a relationship...
In the novel “ The Golden Goblet” by Eloise Jarvis McGraw tells about an Egyptian boy named Ranofer. The book is about how Ranofer is abused by his half brother Gebu and Ranofer finds a stolen golden goblet from a Pharaoh's tomb in Gebu’s room, so Ranofer tries to catch him in the act stealing and Ranofer does. In the end he get’s what he asked for in life. The most important event in the novel was Ranofer meeting his friend Heqet and an old man that Heqet and Ranofer call the ancient after stone cutting because it leads up to Ranofer finding the goblet, having a chance to be the apprentice of Zau the master goldsmith, and Ranofer got what he desired most in life.
Ranofer has still been waiting for Ibni to not be seen in the shop anymore. After four days he sees Heqet standing behind Rekhs’ desk. The next day Ranofer came to work and saw Ibni, he asked Heqet if Rekh believed him and Heqet said he was sure that he did believe him. So after eight days Ranofer went outside and immediately got knocked off balance, he saw the papyrus cutter and his donkey, Ranofer asked what was going on and the answer he got was that two tomb robbers had been caught. After that he had asked the ancient some more questions like where he worked, what he worked as and where did he live, Ranofer started walking home when an Idea popped in his mind. What if he could live like the ancient, cut papyrus and then go to work for Rekh, live alone where the desert begins and build a house. When Ranofer got to Rekhs he got an order to go to Abas potter and get a new crucible, on the way he saw Ibni, panicked and hid behind a bush, when Ibni was gone Ranofer went to home. When he got home he saw a big surprise, there stood Ibni, Ranofer saw some loaf on the table and went to eat it. He had heard Gebu tell Ibni that he fires him and that Ibni should never return. A few moment after Ibni had left Gebu told Ranofer that he will no longer work for Rekh, and will now be an apprentice for Gebu. Ranofer got mad and told Gebu about his plan to live alone and
Teenage girls often get pregnant and do not know the first step in becoming a mother. Normally, when a teenage girl gets pregnant, she is less likely to attend college according to “Women Issues” by Linda Lowen. Some mothers are not even sure who their baby’s father is and many babies get aborted. The majority of single teen mothers are living in poverty. “Almost all our teen mothers are low-income, poorly educated and low-skilled.” (CNN) One third of mothers actually have a college degree and 23.2% are unemployed. (www.singlemotherguide.com) People under the age of eighteen are still developing and are not ready to be
During the Anglo-Saxon period, people who owned gold showed a superiority and an image of success and heroism. It was used as a motive for heroic acts and a reward for brave warriors. Kings and royalty would own great treasures, which showed them being successful subjects. A warrior earning gold showed their heroism with obvious great accomplishments. In fact, during the opening of the poem, we read about Shild, the beloved Danish king who has died.
Teens wouldn’t be able to do such things like shopping and other hobbies if they are providing for someone other than themselves. A teen are not able to handle financial pressure to take care of a child of their own. I honestly can say that teenagers are still children themselves and are not ready for the mother/father lifestyle, so they should make an effort by avoiding that
Babies, as well as the teenage mothers, face long-time problems may face long-term problems from the pregnancy. These problems may include school failure, poverty, and physical or mental illness. Babies born to teenagers are at greater risk for neglect and abuse than those of a woman. Teenage mothers may feel like they are being demanded to do the job and they may take their frustration out on the child (When 1).
I never dreamed of having a child at such a young are. In fact, in high school I was the typical student. I maintained good grades, stayed on the honor roll, participated in extracurricular activities, and even volunteered at local hospitals. Outside of school my friends I were always doing something after the football games or just hanging on Saturday nights, being typical teens. Soon all of that would come to an end. Little did I know for the next few months to come, I would be home to what could be our future president or the person that would make history for finding the cure for cancer. The scariest thing is, I would be forever responsible for a new life, as if trying to be responsible for my own was not enough.
Teenagers are still kids. So basically we have a bunch of kids having kids which is insane. Teenagers aren’t ready to be parents until they have grown up themselves. Teens aren’t able to raise a steady family, they don’t have jobs, their children won’t have fathers, and they aren’t responsible enough for that yet. To be a parent you need discipline, education, and finances. Teens have none of that. The teenagers shouldn’t have to have all of that forced onto them at such an early age. What type of teen would give up friends, proms, their education, and their whole life just to change diapers, feed and take care of a baby. Teenagers already don’t like waking up early in the morning for school, so why would they to take care of a baby in the middle of the night? That’s just it, they wouldn’t. Teenagers are just too young to be having kids When their only kids. Teenage...
and the stress of raising a child as a single parent can be all too familiar. Statistics show that a
One major effect of teen pregnancy is that the child may be raised by a single parent. While most girls are looking for love and acceptance in sex, many guys are looking for the mere pleasure and are not planning on becoming a teen father. The pressures of high school and hanging out with friends may be overwhelming for some teens, so they just leave. Raising a child as teen is difficult, but raising a child alone would be almost impossible.
As a child begins to enter adolescence, there appears to be a rise in conflict between the adolescent and parents. The amount of conflict differs from family to family and is dependent on many factors. It is mainly due to the changing characteristics and growing of the adolescent and the way in which the rest of the family adjusts to these changes.
Babies are born more likely to be born premature and/or suffer low birth weight. There are a lot of problems involved with children having children. There is a higher risk of low birth rate, premature labor, and stillbirth. The problem is teenage girls are not done growing and fully maturing, there for, when they become pregnant it induces problems not only on the baby but the mother as well. *A general rule: The younger the mother, the greater risk of complications for both the mother and child. Often pregnant teenage mothers deny the fact that they are indeed pregnant, therefor ignoring the proper care that she needs for the growing baby inside of her. There are no easy answers; that’s one thing that everyone agrees on when it comes to the problem of teen pregnancy. The Center of Disease Control and prevention affirmed on June 26 what other agencies, such as the National Center for Health Statistics, have been saying over the course of this year: “The teen pregnancy rate is dropping. The number of teenage girls across the country who became pregnant fell 12 percent between 1991 and 1996. This drops affects girls, of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds, in all states. But the problem remains; The U.S. teen pregnancy rate is the highest of any industrialized countries. Babies born in the U.S. to teenager mothers are at risk for long-term problems in many major areas of life, including school failure, poverty, and physical or mental illness. The teenage mothers themselves are also at risk for these problems.
Poverty and lack of academic success contribute, there is mounting evidence that poor academic success and bad parenting lead to teen pregnancy. Babies from teen mothers usually have poor health, lower grades, and have lower cognitive tests scores (Witte 137-54). The majority of children from an unplanned pregnancy are born to unmarried women. Children raised in single parent families face more challenges; they are more likely to be poor, dropout, lower grade point average, and poor school attendance records (Brown 11-4).
From my personal experience, I feel that anyone can get through it. Not only am I a parent as a teenager, but I am also juggling my college classes and a full time job. It’s hard to accept that I will miss a lot of my baby’s first time experiences, however, I have to focus on what’s best for my child and myself. I feel that is the only way I can give my child a good life. Everyone is capable of doing it as long as they put their mind to
...due to increasing uncertainty about the future. Fears of having the baby are prevalent as the teen becomes confused on the impact of the baby towards her own life and future dreams. In their lifespan development, delaying their education is necessary as they cannot hold on to both the education and the pregnancy. The depression developed is due to lack of effective handling of the emotions created by the pregnancy (Carlson, 2009).
