 In the article “I Chose the Baby“ by Prisculla Pardini has information about Teen pregnancy rates are down, but without supportive schools, the consequences for young moms can be devastating. Because millions of American teens get pregnant, and half a million give birth, every year. At that rate, one in every four teen girls gets pregnant before turning 20.

It is worthwhile form me, because it gives me a specific discussion of the devastating toll that teen pregnancy takes on the child welfare system and stresses hat reducing teen pregnancy rates.
It gives me specific data and shows me the most effective way available to reduce childhood here in the States.


The podcast “Who’s to blame?“ is 17 teenage girls at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts who, it said, got together to form a "pregnancy pact." The story has since been disputed by families of the girls and by the mayor, but it's raised a lot of discussion about planned teenage pregnancy.

It is worthwhile form me, because it shows me how many unplanned pregnancies happen and what these girls are trying to do about that.
It tells me that schools need more education, because the data that this audio discussion gives me is higher than I thought.

New Outline



                                                                        
Juliane Harms

 1. Introduction
a)    Hook/lead
b)    Context
c)     Thesis: How can education influence a young pregnat woman’s socio- economic status?

2. Subtopic: Birth Control
a. Young pregnant teens should start taking birth control
1. The Test (for birth control) started in the William High School. The small clinic was once in the school and helped girls with Plan B. But the clinic is still saying that that all babies are blessing and they should think about Plan b.  Without those Campaigns, pregnancy would grow
2. “First, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, just half of girls who had children before age 18 graduate from high school, and less than 2% earn a college degree by age 30.“ That is an example how it was before and now it is better.


 3. Subtopoic: Education for teens
           a) Specific education for teens to prevent pregnancy should be more common
1. This is something that the main speaker said (in the podcast) He is trying to say that schools need more “sex education“ and that girls should try to keep the “relationship“ to the fathers of their children.
b) Education for birth control is important
2.But since the most girls are taking birth control, there are almost no abortions. But with birth control, they can’t even get pregnant and so they don’t need an abortion and they can finish their education.                                                                                   c) Help from many organizations
3. There is a program, which helps pregnant girls to complete their higher education. It includes financial aid, scholarships, housing, childcare and much more.
d) How to become a higher social status
4. Education  is exactly what they need fort hem to have a job after getting pregnant. This education helps them to learn something, while they are pregnant, but in the end they have a good social status.


 4.  Subtopic: Helth of the Children
a) The Goverment helps too and spends money for organizations
1. Last month, the federal government awarded 20 states a cumulative grant of $27 million to assist pregnant teens and young parents. The Pregnancy Assistance Fund, as it is known, was designated to help pregnant women, teen parents finish high school, get childcare, healthcare and housi
           b) Massive problems can occur when teens get pregnant.
1. Born children from teens with massive health problems, like low birth weight or insufficient health insurance. Children of teen parents often receive inadequate care, because teens are rarely able to provide their need.

5. Subtopic: The daily life situation
           a) Financial help is a must for organizations
1. It includes financial aid, scholarships, housing, childcare and much more. This is exactly what they need fort hem to have a job after getting pregnant.
           b) Special school might help to get a better eduacation
2. Separate schools for pregnant teens“ are different from alternative school and that studies showed over years that educational equality, budget problems and social friendships can improve education and the quote of graduation becomes higher. And when they reach this goal, the social economic status is higher.

6. Conclusion:

1. Restate Research Question
2. Mention again Birth Control
3. Mention again Education
4. Mention again health of the children
5. Mention again the daily life situation
6.  Make an overall summary and maybe provide ideas to make it change

Outline



Juliane Harms

                                                                  

While teen pregnancy and birth rates have declined across the board for teens of all races and ethnic groups, rates for minority youth remain disproportionately high." This article discusses the devastating toll that teen pregnancy takes on the child welfare system and stresses that reducing teen pregnancy rates. It is perhaps "the most effective way available to reduce childhood poverty in the United States."
The Podcast was worthwhile form me, because it shows me how many unplanned pregnancies happen and what these girls are trying to do about that.
It tells me that schools need more education, because the data that this audio discussion gives me is higher than I thought.

In some articles I found information about born children from teens with massive health problems, like low birth weight or insufficient health insurance. Children of teen parents often receive inadequate care, because teens are rarely able to provide their need.
In another article I heard about birth control in school it  talks about a special clinic that has success with pregnant teens. The system started 2010 and it improves the test scores and the behavior form pregnant teens.   Other articles talked about an
Organization, which supports young teens in their situations and about the fathers. This article showed me how many ways you can find to don’t interrupted your entire life.

My conclusion is that all of my resources were very useful
for me because I can get specific informations form young teens in High School and their worries and feelings about it.  In addition I never knew that special school for pregnant teens even exist. It also shows me that they help them to get good grades and even finish their High School.

New Post "I Chose the Baby"


       


                                                                               


       1. In the article “I Chose the Baby“ by Prisculla Pardini has information about Teen pregnancy rates are down, but without supportive schools, the consequences for young moms can be devastating. Because millions of American teens get pregnant, and half a million give birth, every year. At that rate, one in every four teen girls gets pregnant before turning 20.
What's more, 78 percent of pregnancies to U.S. teens are unintended. And 80 percent occur outside of marriage. While teen pregnancy and birth rates have declined across the board for teens of all races and ethnic groups, rates for minority youth remain disproportionately high." This article discusses the devastating toll that teen pregnancy takes on the child welfare system and stresses that reducing teen pregnancy rates. It is perhaps "the most effective way available to reduce childhood poverty in the United States."

2.  It is worthwhile form me, because it gives me a specific discussion of the devastating toll that teen pregnancy takes on the child welfare system and stresses hat reducing teen pregnancy rates.
It gives me specific data and shows me the most effective way available to reduce childhood here in the States.


3. This quote is good, because it tells me that „the best way of doing that, say the experts, is by investing in high-quality early childhood and youth development programs designed to ensure that children and teens at risk of doing poorly in school or getting in trouble with the law make a successful transition to school and complete 12th grade“.

 My second quote is interesting, because it gives, me specific data that “teen pregnancy continues to take an immense toll on child welfare“. And that “25 percent of teen births occur to African-American teens, and 28 percent to Latina teens, despite the fact that African Americans and Latinos each account for only 15 percent of the total teen population“.

The Podcast "Who's to blame?"




                                                          

1. The podcast “Who’s to blame?“ is 17 teenage girls at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts who, it said, got together to form a "pregnancy pact." The story has since been disputed by families of the girls and by the mayor, but it's raised a lot of discussion about planned teenage pregnancy.
Some people blame Hollywood's glamorization of teen and single mothers. Others say there's too little sex education or that it's too hard to get contraception. Sarah Brown, director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, talks about intended and unintended teen pregnancy.

2. It is worthwhile form me, because it shows me how many unplanned pregnancies happen and what these girls are trying to do about that.
It tells me that schools need more education, because the data that this audio discussion gives me is higher than I thought.

3. Quote 1:
My first quote is about something that the main speaker said. He is trying to say that schools need more “sex education“ and that girls should try to keep the “relationship“ to the fathers of their children.

Quote 2:

 “I just wasn’t thinking about it“, is one of the most sentences girls say after they got pregnant. Those students definitely need more education. Many students just watch the movie “Juno“, a movie about pregnancy and after that they had some “kind of education“.
