Hello everyone before I start doing this please bear with me because this is my first time doing or writing an article thank you

Now a days there is a lot of population of teenage pregnancy and the Philippines has one of the highest adolescent birth rates among the ASEAN Member States.

Teenage pregnancy, also known as adolescent pregnancy, is pregnancy in a female under the age of 20, according to the WHO. Pregnancy can occur with sexual intercourse after the start of ovulation, which can be before the first menstrual period (menarche) but usually occurs after the onset of periods. In well-nourished girls, the first period usually takes place around the age of 12 or 13.

Everyday the amount of teenage pregnancy is getting higher and higher and it sent dread to the government and other health organizations. It is very alarming because it can cause harm to their health and worst their life might be destroy.

Teenage pregnancies are associated with social issues, including lower educational levels and poverty. Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage and is often associated with a social stigma. Teenage pregnancy in developing countries often occurs within marriage and half are planned. However, in these societies, early pregnancy may combine with malnutrition and poor health care to cause medical problems. When used in combination, educational interventions and access to birth control can reduce unintended teenage pregnancies.

What happened to the famous line of our national Filipino hero Dr. Jose Rizal "Ang kabataan Ang pag asa Ng bayan" when the kids now a days are just finding boyfriend's/girlfriend's at their young age and they being an emo on a simple things. They just like making some fun or joke in sex and in love they are not taking it seriously.

Yes I am one of the product of teenage pregnancy but I am not proud of it nor regretting it. It is true that being a mother is wonderful but I am sad because I can't give what I want that is the best for my child because I have job and I am only relying to my partner.

It is not a joke even if it is acceptable of some of the parents.

Make it seriously teenage pregnancy is not a joke
