Teenage Pregnancy and Dangers of an Abortion
Over the years, it has been reported that one of the reasons for the rising female mortality rate, is the horrifying crisis of teenage pregnancy and abortion. It has also been widely considered to be Increasingly popular and slowly becoming a norm among young adults. Whilst fruitfulness is important in growing any country’s economy, it is highly necessary to curb the growing menace of teenage pregnancy and abortion to ensure a society of people ridden of vices that grow as a result of parental and societal negligence.
**Teenage pregnancy** can be said to be the presence of a growing embryo in the womb of a teenager ( a person between the ages of 12 to 19) as a result of premarital sexual intercourse with the opposite sex. Whilst this act is frowned upon by the society, there is seemingly little or nothing being done to curb this rising menace. Abortion on the other hand, refers to the removal or eviction of a growing embryo in a female’s body. Abortion is medically and legally frowned upon. Only quacks and incompetent nurses engage in this dubious act in secret and because of the lack of knowledge of this people, death has always been a resultant effect.
Between the ages of 12-19, the body is considered to still be in its development stage and hasn’t fully developed the capacity to grow or shelter a baby. Since the body isn’t mature enough, pregnancy stretches the body beyond its limits and can cause harmful effects. For instance, popular among children and young adult is **Visico Vaginal fistula**; a tear from the vagina to the urethra during childbirth. This causes urine leakage and thereby isolation of the victim due to the unbearable stench that follows this disorder. It is however correctible by expensive surgeries performed by competent doctors .
Many teenagers do not possess the means, psychologically, financially and emotionally to adequately train up a child hence, teenage pregnancy leads to filling our streets with thugs and beggars causing nuisance to normal living. Teenage pregnancy also allows for moral decadence amongst people in the society. Sexual immorality nowadays, seems to be gaining grounds amongst people and all hands must be on deck to put a stop to this growing menace. Teenagers who fall prey to teenage pregnancy suffer their dreams being thwarted. Those whose dream is to become someone significant in life, end up at low levels due to the harsh reality of teenage pregnancy. According to personal research, five out of ten teenagers fall prey to teenage pregnancy. Many factors contribute to the vulnerability of young adults to teenage pregnancy. Some of these factors are;
Lack of self-control
Inadequate or no sex education
Parental and societal negligence
Peer influence
Hormone rush
All these and many more contribute to the rising number of teenage pregnancy which later results to an abortion. Many teenagers, after falling pregnant, results to abortion as a life line. However, what seems to them as a life line is actually a death and destruction agent with 70/30 chances of survival. Abortion has many effect, some of these effects are:
Psychological trauma
Destruction of the womb
Barrenness
Internal bodily disorder
Abstinence is a widely advised elixir to teenage pregnancy and abortion. Every teenager should understand that there are seasons in life.
The best advice is to stay motivated on your goals and ambition. Chastity is never going out of Vogue. Ensure self-control and keep on your mark.

Helping Road Victims
Date: 3th May, 2022
Time of the day: Afternoon
A road victim is someone who got in harm’s way while using the road. It could either be by car accident or motor bikes. Road accident is basically the collision of two or more vehicles. These victims could also be either a motorist or a pedestrian. The best way to help these victims are:
**By calming down the victims:** There is no gainsaying that the victims involved in any accident would be in severe pain and anguish. Anxiety has also been reported to be one of the emotions suffered by accident victims. The fear of imminent death, breeds severe anxiety, therefore calming the victims down is imperative and this is effected by speaking calmly and continuously reassuring the victim.
**First-aid:** Anyone can administer the first-aid although, he or she must be skilled or knowledgeable in first-aid administration. First-aid is an important measure for ensuring that the victims are in stable conditions till the doctor arrives. They help control and prevent further intensity that may occur if the injuries are not properly taken care of.
**Call the ambulance:** After giving first-aid treatment, you should call for an ambulance it might seem like everything is okay since the victim is feeling better after the first-aid treatment but the truth is that most times there could be an internal injury that can only be detected in an hospital. I’ve heard cases of people who died just few days after an accident simply because they refused to go to an hospital, most road victims refuse to go to an hospital mainly because of money issues or some just have phobias for hospital, but let’s remember that health is wealth and if you die now all your belongings would go to your families.
**Be helpful:** In the occurrence of an accident all hands need to be on deck to rescue and help the victims. In our world today most people would rather **bring out their phones to film the event rather than helping.** Due to the severity of the injuries that may occur during accidents, it is Paramount to swing into rescue actions as soon as possible to save lives. Recently, we got reports of a building collapse in **Lagos, Nigeria.** In situations like this only experienced rescue operators are allowed or given access to the scene but in cases where your help is needed, i would beg us to render any help you can no matter how little it is, in absence of an ambulance you could volunteer your car or bus to help convey the victims to the hospital just by doing that you have just saved lives and we should learn to comply with instructions of the rescue team, because they know the best in this situation.
So as we go on with our day to day lives let’s remember to always be ready to lend an helping hand to the those that needs it.
**Be a good Samaritan**

Health Hazards of Fast Food
Fast foods are referred to as a foods or snacks that can be taken on the go, these type of food as the name implies don’t take time to be prepared, seeing as some are already prepared and others take little to no time at all to be ready for consumption and it can be eaten absolutely anywhere.
We have various fast foods restaurant situated in so many places in **lagos, Nigeria.**
In this article you'll get to know about the examples of these food and the hazard or dangers associated with them.
**Some Examples of these foods are as follows:**
**Hamburgers:**
An hamburger is a food consisting of a filling usually a patty of ground beef eaten with a sliced bun.
Health hazard: hamburgers are high in sodium, a high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure and an high risk for heart disease, stroke, and other kidney diseases .
Most people fail to recognise and see the hazards of what they ingest because of how tasty and yummy it is and this as overtime caused a lot of our illness unknown to many.
**Hot dog:**
Hotdog consists of steamed sausage in the middle of a partially sliced bun usually garnished with mustard or ketchup.
It is linked to several health problems like **type2 diabetes, cancer, and cardio vascular disorders.**
**Canned baked beans:**
Baked beans are beans already prepared and stored in tins, baked beans contains a lot of preservatives and these chemicals used in preservation when taken in large quantities and continually, it may cause problems in our bodies, according to it is said that baked beans are high in proteins and fiber, they may Improve gut health and cholesterol level, canned varieties are convenient but often contain added sugar, salt, additives, and BPA contaminant so your healthiest option is to make them from scratch using dried beans.
Canned goods that weren’t made or processed properly may contain *clostridium botulinum* and this can cause **botulism**, a serious illnesss that can cause or lead to paralysis and death if left untreated.
**French fries:**
French fries are made out of potatoes, dried and deep-fried till it’s crispy and it is most times eaten with different dips.
French fries prepared with oil are usually very high with saturated fats, saturated fats inturn can increase your cholesterol levels which causes **heart disease** and can potentially lead to **stroke.**
There are so many other fast foods like:
Pizza
Shawarma
Chicken and chips
Meatballs
Jollof rice
Fried rice and so many other continental dishes are also available in many fast food restaurant and they all have their own hazards or disadvantages.
**Fast-food** are also part of the reasons why we have a lot of obese cases in our world, I think the world would be a better place if we all stick to an healthy and nutritious diet, this way we would be able to curb the spread of different illness because most times these food are prepared in an environment that are not human friendly and these conditions breed illness and disease, let’s not dispute the fact that we have some standard fast-food restaurant but sometimes these people add stuffs like preservatives to the food to make it last longer who knows one could be allergic to such things.
So I feel homemade meal are better off than fast foods it’s better to eat what you know than eat what you know nothing of the contents, there is a popular saying that homemade meals sits better in the stomach.
So let’s eat less fast food and more homemade meals. Shall we?
