We've been looking at teen pregnancy in the media, but now I want to put it into perspective. Just what effect do TV shows like "Teen Mom" have on teen pregnancy rates. I want you to look at stats of teen pregnancy in Canada and the United States. Find
1) Current data on teen pregnancy in both countries
2) 5 years ago
3) 10 years ago
4) 20 years ago
After you have found this put your information into a blog post titled "Teen Pregnancy over 20 years"
Also please include the answers to the following questions:
1. what do you notice about teen pregnancy rates over the years
in the US . In 2014, a total of 249,078 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years,
bewteen 2010 and 2014 the percent of teenage pregnancy between 16/19 went of there was at least 27% of teens giving birth
2. Do you notice anywhere the data changes significantly. If so why do you think that is?
its so easy to talk to people now a days with the media sites and cell phone so many ways to contact someone or really get to know someone over the internet. or maybe the children parents were not strick enough i know if i was pregnant my family would be very disappointed so would i be theirs so much to the world an it would be abit hard to explore an grow up with a child that u have to raise with out knowing what life is. babys should come into this world to a good environment.
3. What impact do you think TV shows like "Teen Mom" have on current teen pregnancy rates?
maybe good and bad cause what if there is some teenager wanting to get pregnant to play on one of the shows but for me it was like no way im going to end up that young with a child looks hard to be honest their still young some of their parents were hard on them not so much supportive
