Pregnancy Before Marriage

Pregnancy before marriageis considered a social evil destructive so the U.S. government has intervened, decided to restrict this sad phenomenon. The number of births outside of marriage is gradually decreasing - thanks to the efforts of government and the community - but there are a number of teens are getting pregnant without benefit of marriage not only in America but also in other parts of the world. 

The representation of the possibility of pregnancy in marriage has been spectacular, and when we hear about strong young women with a child without a partner to help raise the child future, our hearts are with them. It is like feeding children's children. It is not just a girl barely out of adolescence to bear a child who has to care for the next 18 years. At least hopefully will have the necessary resources and support systems to see through this stage of his life. 


A pregnant teenager who is not married also suggests the kind of future we will have - as their dreams and career aspirations will be delegated to the background for several years until the child begins to attend school. 

Pregnancy before marriage - Government contributions 
The American nation is fortunate that there are provisions in place to help reduce the incidence of pregnancies outside marriage. One such measure is the Social Security Act 1996. Some provisions include: 

• A federal budget of $ 50 million annually to teach children abstinence education, 
• Measures to ensure that the establishment of paternity and child support payments are made, 
• Federal measures that require all 52 states to initiate action in reducing out of wedlock pregnancies, with special emphasis on teenage pregnancies. 

The Social Security Act of 1996 takes other provisions to reduce out of wedlock pregnancies. Government measures have met with controversy, but it is the general opinion that if we know how to achieve these objectives in relation to birth out of wedlock, then we are doing the best we can to improve the quality of life of children. 

A society is based on the various communities to ensure that children are allowed to develop mentally and emotionally to become productive citizens. In turn, the communities depend on each family to ensure that children are well fed, nourished, educated and trained for life. Part of that education and training should include prevention of pregnancy, while still not married. 

In October 2001, an article by Isabel V. Sawhill was published on the website of the Brookings Institution, Division of Social Policy, addressed this issue. The Brookings Institution is a prestigious think tank that works to solve social problems of the country. Ms. Sawhill said, "Almost everyone is in favor of reducing teen pregnancy ... teen pregnancy and birth rates have declined during the decade of 1990, which in turn has contributed to the stabilization of the proportion of all children born to unmarried mothers. When Congress reauthorizes the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reform Act in 2002, is built on this success, providing additional funds for efforts to prevent teen pregnancy, maintaining the emphasis on work and child support enforcement . " 

That is a difficult task coming from a private citizen. Lest we forget, governments have problems to deal with others as well. Reduce pregnancy outside of marriage should be an individual responsibility and each family must do their part to protect the offspring. 

Pregnancy before marriage - Explain why teenagers 
We heard the same refrain over and over again. Not so much a question of wanting a child pregnant teens marriage. We suspect that has much to do with his need for affection that they receive at home. For comfort and support in other places, there is always the risk of perceiving the affection on the wrong track. They believe that having sex with their boyfriends, who are part of your emotional life under lock and key. 

Not quite. After many a morning after finding his lost love object. 

Okay, so maybe not a desire for love and affection. Perhaps the desire to keep up with things trendy and "cool." Take a recent report by Fox which is a pregnant 14-year-old British girl who said that the latest fashion these days is not the Paris Hilton handbag, but get "beaten." This came from a pregnant teenager who says four of his friends are waiting. Kizzy Neal - that's his name - told Fox News that his teenage friends that babies are very cute little details, but they are not aware that viewed from a broader perspective, they realize, a little late, they are giving their lives to care for a baby. 

It was also reported that across Europe, England and Wales have the highest rates of teenage pregnancy, with the highest growth among girls under 16 years. 

Then you have the lack of control in comparison with too much control. We're talking about parental control. Maybe teenagers feel a bit stifled by the invasion of good intentions in his private life for their people at home. They can not even surf the net and all blockers set by their parents. 

"I was wearing a dog collar around his neck all the time. With Mom and Dad, who always was, do not do this, do not do that. I did not think he had a right to prevent me from being happy and being with my boyfriend. One day it got so bad - the fight - I went and asked my boyfriend to have sex with me. Only in spite of my people, you know. " 

Pregnancy before marriage - What happens to pregnant teens? 
What about teenagers who are pregnant of a sudden? 

The profile actually looks rather sad. Teenagers who become pregnant are less likely to complete secondary education (only 1 / 3 of them graduate from high school). Between 1% and 2% of teenage mothers complete college by age 30. They are also more likely to go on welfare. About 80% of them are on welfare. 

Children born to unmarried teenagers have lower birth weight and tend to poor academic performance. They are also at greater risk of abuse and neglect. 

And no wonder the government is concerned and is taking steps to end this sociological problem. The reports show that children of adolescents have a 13% higher probability of ending up in prison, while daughters of adolescents have a 22% chance of getting pregnant when they reach adolescence. 

Pregnancy before marriage - Breaking past the emotional barrier 
Teens who suddenly learn they are pregnant they panic and confusion are. Matters become worse when the boyfriend she thought was a true gentleman states that it wants to do something with her or the child. Oh, of course, many of them take responsibility for his actions, but there are guys out there who would not withdraw.

When adolescents are confronted with this situation, the first reflex action is to run, so their parents do not need to know about your situation. This can not be a wise decision. 

A teenager who became pregnant at 15 I felt it was the time he needed to talk to your mother more. Before her pregnancy, her mother avoid like the plague. Not sure how her mother would react to the news, he felt, however, that his mother had to know, so he summoned the courage to finally say. To his surprise, his mother just hugged her and said, "let's go through this together." 

That is now a happy teenager 32 years with four children and a beautiful home in Virginia. This is what he said: "Then I told my mother she was pregnant, she exploded in anger as I thought it would. Instead, she hugged me and said he would go through pregnancy together. I never change my family for all the world's wealth. It just made all the difference for me and at that moment, I promised I would give my son and me a bright future. " 

A lucky teenager, is not it?
