Teenage pregnancy is caused by various factors
Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs in adolescents that is a result of sexual behavior whether intentional (married) or unintentional (unmarried). Teenage pregnancy is caused by several factors, namely: > Factors of religion and faith The lack of investment in religious values from an early age and the lack of faith in adolescents will have an impact on the fall of adolescents in promiscuity. > Environmental factors Parents -> The role of parents in the family, especially child / adolescent development, is very important.
The role and attention of parents is very influential on the mental development of children. Attention, love and affection of parents are needed by children in adolescence, which at this time adolescents are looking for his true identity. So if the child lacks the attention and affection of the parents, the child looks for a substitute figure who can provide the attention and affection the child expects. Less sex education from parents and family -> More open communication between children and parents, can play an important role in monitoring children's behavior in the community. Enough information about sexuality that children get from parents, can minimize the child's curiosity to access information outside the home (Influence of teenage pregnancy on Secondary School).
Friends, neighbors and the media False associations and media abuse can cause teenagers to change their mindset about sex, so they assume that premarital sex is common. > The development of science and technology that is not based on strong mental development With the progress in the field of science and technology, it makes it easy for teens to access information about sex. If this is not based on strong mental development, it can make teenagers fall into bad relationships, which can lead to promiscuity. > Lack of knowledge and excessive curiosity Knowledge of sexuality is minimal or half-half, can cause increased curiosity in adolescents.
So this encourages adolescents to look for information about sexuality from sources that they can easily get, such as: peers, books, magazines, internet, videos, etc. A great sense of curiosity can also be a stimulus for adolescents to have sexual relations outside of marriage. Minimal knowledge about teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, results in unsafe sex and the occurrence of teenage pregnancy. > Changing times The system of values and morality can change with changing times. This also has an impact on adolescent perceptions about relationships. Some teenagers think that promiscuity is a natural thing, because it is in accordance with the times.
Some teenagers think that dating trend is a normal thing, sex outside of marriage is not a taboo thing to do. The wrong perception about sex is what ultimately makes teen pregnancy in the number increases. > Age of puberty is getting faster Puberty causes changes in hormone levels, and causes a rise in sexual hormone levels. Increased age of puberty if it is not balanced with proper sexual delivery, mka will result in early sex and early pregnancy.
Pregnancy in adolescents, especially in cases of unintentional pregnancy, will have several effects, namely: Psychological Feeling depressed because you get a slur from friends, family or the community Excluded from association, because they are considered unable to carry themselves Teenagers who are still in school will drop out of school, and those who are already working are at risk of losing their jobs -> despair because pregnancy threatens their future. Physical Adolescent pregnancy is at risk à maternal death, preeclampsia, anemia, LBW, abortion, preterm birth and infant death. Pregnancy with sexually transmitted infections At delivery often requires medical treatment The fetus can experience congenital abnormalities Maternal and perinatal mortality in teenage pregnancies is higher than in healthy reproductive ages (20 - 35 years)
In retrospect, teen pregnancy has more negative effects than positive effects. To prevent the occurrence of teenage pregnancy, the efforts made are: Do not engage in sexual activities before marriage Doing positive activities Avoiding free sex Increasing faith and piety For married adolescents, delaying pregnancy by using contraception. To control the problem of teenage pregnancy, the efforts made are: Before pregnancy occurs Maintain safe reproductive health Avoid free sex Avoid multipartnersex Sexual education from an early age Increasing faith and piety Using emergency alkon After pregnancy occurs Letting the fetus live until birth Married a teenager who was pregnant Teenagers are allowed to care for their children Pregnancy can be terminated in certain cases.
If this is the case, I hope that teenage pregnancy and sexual intercourse in adolescents (context: sex outside marriage), can reduce the number of events. At least as a teenager, still maintain the eastern identity, and uphold faith and devotion to God, so that this does not happen to us, or our brothers and sisters and the wider community in general.
