<a href=”http://www.midlandsconnect.com/news/story.aspx?list=195158&id=272799″><strong>Teenage pregnancy</strong></a>, all over the world, not only in the United States of America it’s a fact. The sad thing is that the age at witch the teenage girls get pregnant decreased and the number of young girls of 15, 14 or even 12 years who become pregnant, many as result of an abuse that they suffered has increased disturbing. Unfortunately, even if we don’t like it, this is a fact. A teenage couple, teenage girl or a teenage boy is not prepared to raise a baby, nor psychologically, nor financially, they don’t have the maturity, the financial resources, the strength and the determination required to raise a baby.

In the United States of America thousands of teenage girls experience an unplanned pregnancy each year. Those teenagers and their families are forced to deal with a teenage pregnancy and take a decision concerning the evolution of the pregnancy. They have to decide, either to keep (and raise or give for adoption) the baby, or to have an abortion. Is a though decision that they have to take, that will influence their future. <strong>United States of America</strong> is the western industrialized country with the <strong>highest rate of <a href=”http://w-pregnancy.com/teenage-pregnancy-stories/”>teenage pregnancies</a></strong> and <strong>teenage births</strong>.

<strong>Facts</strong> related <strong>on teenage pregnancies in the United States of America show that 34% of women become pregnant at least once before they turn 20 years (approximately 820.000 young pregnant women) every year. Approximately 8 out of 10 of those teenage pregnancies are unplanned and 79% of these pregnancies happen to unmarried teens.</strong>

Also, facts related to teenage pregnancies show the fact that the rate of the black teenager with ages between 15 and 19 ( from 1991 to 2002) was of 42% and the rate of the Hispanic teenagers with ages between 15 and 19 ( from 1991 to 2002) was of 20%. The studies showed that black teenagers and Hispanic teenagers.
As early the age is when a girl has her first sexual intercourse for the first time, the more likely for her to have unwanted or non voluntary sexual report. Approximately half of the young girls who have had sexual report at 14, 13 or at a even early age, the sexual report was either non-voluntary or unwanted. This fact is very regrettable and sad from my point of view, because this will bring only bad and painful consequences and traumas for the young girl.
