SPREAD AWARENESS TO PREVENT TEEN PREGNANCY IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Issue

"Helping young people to create a brighter future"

Today's teenager don't have enough education needed to fully understand how to avoid teen pregnancy.The lack of knowledge has been the reason for most unwanted teen pregnancy.Stopping teen pregnancy would reduce teens falling out of school and missing their chance to have an education.

The children of teenage mothers are more likely to have lower school and would have more health problems. This means that teen mother that give birth at a young age would possibly have children wouldn't achieve anything either.

Another reason why stopping teen pregnancy is important because their are a lot of teen mothers in the Philippines.According to National Statistics Office (NSO), a total of 24 babies everyday were born to women age 15-19 years.This also means that young children are having babies at which would cause the mother to drop out and have to take care of the babies.If today's generation of teenager had sufficient knowledge on unwanted teen pregnancy as an issue,this problem would not persist.

we hope that a support well get enough people talking that Philippines will increase its resources on informing more teenagers and their families on the issue of teen pregnancy.We hope to raise a awareness on how important teen pregnancy to be prevented.
